Gary Lyn Betts passed away as he fell asleep the morning of Oct 9th at the age of 73. Gary was born July 13th 1948 as the eldest of 7 children which might have something to do with how good he was at caring for others. Everyone that Gary met was treated with sincere kindness and generosity. He was a father figure,uncle figure and mentor for so many of us he treated us all as family no matter how long we knew him. Gary did not let his bad heart or COPD rule his life and lived his life to the fullest with a quick wit and dry sense of humor. He will be missed with the fondest of memories. No grave could keep such a free soul God called him home so he could go fishing in the great blue sky.
