Van Alstyne, Texas -- It is with great sadness that the family of Dalton Ray Beaty of Van Alstyne announces his passing after a long fight for healing, on Monday, May 16, 2018, at the age of 76 years.

Dalton will be lovingly remembered by his wife and best friend of almost 56 years, Judy Miller Beaty, and his children Rhonda Tomin (Greg), David Beaty (Cathy), Shawn Beaty (Misty). He is also forever remembered by his 6 grandchildren Rachel Lawson (Sammy), Rebecca Nance (Chris), Chandler (Fiancé Kelsea), Cody Beaty, Dustin Beaty and Zackary Beaty and his 2 great-grandchildren Camden Nance and Sam Lawson. Sisters Betty Carroll, Marie Cody, Pauline Culverhouse, and brothers (Buddy) Jerry Beaty, Randall Beaty and many nieces and nephews.

Dalton grew up in Westminster, where he graduated from high school and met his wife Judy Miller. They started their family three years later. He attended Crozier Tech in Dallas where he mastered and fell in love with the art of welding which was his career for many years. He also worked for MEMC/GE until retirement.

He was loved by each and every person that came in contact with him. He was a giving man, never asking for praise, just doing things out of love. If he wasn’t teasing with you, you knew he didn’t feel well.
