He is preceded in death by parents Stafford and Lucille Beaty, beloved Aunt Ila Oglesby, nephew John Roby, and brother-in law Rob Roby. He is survived by his loving wife of 28 years and best friend, Lyn Beaty; children Kim (Beaty) Niebuhr (Kent), Chris Beaty (Kelly), Craig Beaty (Shannon), grandchildren Madisen, Rylie, Sam, Marissa, Will, Declan, Maren, and Max, as well as hisbrother in-law and wife Jim and Nancy Roby,and nieces and nephews whom he loved dearly: Claire, Brad, RJ and Jessica.

A 1963 graduate of Tulsa Will Rogers, He thereafter earned a Masters in Education from Oklahoma State University (go Pokes). Jim was a passionate educator and teacher for more than 30 years. He instructed Auto Mechanics at McLain High School initially, and at Tulsa Tech for 29 years until his retirement in 2002. His unique teaching style and dedication helped carry former students into their futures, many of whom he kept in touch with.

Jim enjoyed his family and friends the most, and time in fellowship, talking about God's love and "unmerited grace." He was an avid hunter, fisherman, and golfer; and loved motorcycles, hot rods, and generally anything with an engine. He was proud to be the first Tulsan owner of a Honda Dream. Jim loved music and dancing, and really enjoyed his retirement years building new friendships with Lyn and their retirement home in south Texas.

He was a loyal and loving husband, father, grandfather, uncle, and friend of many, who had an unwavering and open display of faith in the Lord Jesus. Jim had this same unchanging love towards his grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and young adults. He was a mentor and a father figure to many, typically offering subtle and quick guidance, often using humor or anecdotal advice. Jim was a model of kindness and a gentle but strong man. He will be missed by many, and loved forever.
