Thomas Beaty's Obituary
THOMAS LEON BEATY
He came into this life as the second child of Tom and Glenda Nobles Beaty. He seemed to do everything early. He walked at 7 months and 1 week. He opened our front door at 11 months and he became a brother at 1 year old.
Tom loved to draw and sketch subjects way before preschool. He was a life long reader. He developed passions that only intensified throughout his life. Those included American Military History, the Bill of Rights, any kind of Aircraft, all Firearms, Nobles Family Reunions in middle Georgia, photographing wild life at Crandon Park on Key Biscayne or the Everglades, Antique furniture and the latest Archaeological discoveries in Israel that proved the truth of the Bible. He loved a Good Steak or Sushi. He was a lifetime STEELERS and U of M football fan. He loved his conversations with his Uncle Richard Nobles where Tom would talk about the aerodynamics of Helicopters and Richard would talk about his Chili recipe. He often called his Aunt Nora Nobles Rosensweig to "Shoot the breeze." Tom loved his cousins in Georgia. He loved his Mother, Brother and his Niece Alyssa Beaty.
She was the "Apple of his eye."
Tom never judged anyone. He would do random acts of kindness such as call friends to encourage them through the losses of life. He would gather cloths for the homeless, brings groceries to his Mother's employees right after Hurricane Irma. He would volunteer to drive Vets to the VA Hospital on a regular basis. He bought baby formula for single Mothers with babies. If Tom saw someone on the street that needed food he would go get a take-out hot meal for them. Tom was happiest when him and his brother Greg were together.
If given the choice to come back to this fallen world he wouldn't because as a dear person said to me "God's joy is with us all and your son Thomas has the glory of complete and perfect immersion."
Lovingly to God be the Glory,
His Mother Glenda Nobles
