Obituary

Gene Raymond Beaty of Dallas passed away unexpectedly on December 24, 2018 at the age of 73. Gene graduated with honors from Irving High School, Class of 1964.  He was active in DeMolay and was seated as Master Councilor. He was awarded DeMolay’s highest honor, the Chevalier Award in June, 1966. In 1968, Gene graduated from North Texas State University with a bachelor’s degree in Government.  He went on to attend the Law School of Southern Methodist University, graduating with a Law degree in 1971. During his time in law school, he was a Law Journal Research Editor. After admission to the State Bar of Texas, Gene joined the Air Force with the rank of Captain. He was an Assistant  Judge Advocate General (JAG) forensic medicine lawyer, stationed at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. After his service, Gene returned to Dallas and became a profound and experienced criminal defense and personal injury attorney in the DFW area for 47 years. He was also an Associate Judge in Dallas County for 10 years. Gene had a true love for domestic and international travel.  He enjoyed local and national politics.  But most of all, Gene loved the practice of law.  He respected his clients and always fought hard for them. Gene was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. He had a deep love for his family, keen intelligence, love of learning and a generous heart.  This wonderful man will be greatly missed by many. Gene is survived by his loving wife, Susie Weatherford Beaty; son, attorney Michael Gene Beaty, attorney daughter-in-law Susan Pitchford, and grandsons Joseph Gene Beaty and Benjamin James Beaty, all of Vancouver, Washington; and brother, Jerry W.

    Gene was a kind and compassionate friend, a loving man,as well besides a brilliant attorney and advocate for the unfortunate. He never held a grudge, was truly a good man, and will be missed by not only me but many others. Thank you, Gene, and Godspeed.

    Gene and Susie were my neighbors. We have spent many a night together sharing conversations. Gene has a smile that lights up the room. I will always remember his sudden smile.

    My Sincere Condolences
    I know that this is a hard week b/c it would have been Gene’s BDay which we celebrated a few together. Without him my perspective on life would be very different.
    Happy Birthday Gene

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
