Gary Wayne Bevel was born on May 14, 1970, and gained his wings to take his flight home on March 2, 2026, to join his mother who took her sweet gentle passing on June 21, 2021, and both are now with their Lord Jesus Christ.

He was born on King Farms in Helena, AR where his dad was a farmer.

He is predeceased by his mother Brenda Fay Feirn and both paternal and maternal grandparents.

He is survived by his Aunt Linda Bevel that he loved and depended on her very much in which she was devoted to his care with her love. His dad Wayne T Bevel and wife Joyce of West Helena, AR. Two Brother's: Dennis Bevel from Helena, AR and Tommy Bevel of Conway, AR. One Daughter Deidre (Alex) Woolridge and husband Cody from Jonesboro, AR with two grandchildren: Rowen Beck and Nova Woolridge. One son Gavin Mikel Wayne Bevel from Helena, AR, with one grandson Gabriel Wayne Bevel. Two stepsisters Barbara Vallum and Michelle Self and one stepbrother Chris Finley and wife Monita from West Helena, AR.

Gary was a child of God and a member of Brumley Baptist Church of Conway, AR. Gary loved fishing and was a Class-A welder and mechanic back in the day. In his last days living at the Blossom Nursing Home, where he was happy, all he asked for was his snack cakes, soda pop, and his double smashers from Sonic that Aunt Linda made sure that he got. 

His decision was to be cremated.
