GALLIPOLIS — Carl Wilson "Bub" Beaver, 74, of Gallipolis, Ohio entered his heavenly home on Friday, August 17, 2018, after an extended illness. "He fought the good fight." I Timothy 6:12.
It is very difficult to put this man's life into a few paragraphs. He has left his family a legacy of faith, love, and honor that can never be replaced. He loved his Lord and Savior and served him through song, singing at many worship services. He was a member of Mercerville Baptist Church.
He owned and operated the Parts Barn in Gallipolis. Not only could you get your lawn and garden supplies, but you could also get a meal, coffee, or interesting conversation there. He was an avid golfer and has made many life-long friendships while playing a game he loved.
He was born on May 28, 1944 in Gallipolis, Ohio, son of the late Rudy and Mabel McGuire Beaver. He married the love of his life, Evelyn Kay Cremeens Beaver on May 29, 1964. To this union were born a son, Michael (Lori) Beaver and a daughter Michelle (Keith) Edwards; three grandchildren, Brittany (Eddie) Kirby, Zachary (Kaitlin) Beaver, and Austin Edwards; four great grandchildren, Alyxandria and Brailee Kirby, and Jase and Jennings Beaver, all of Gallipolis. Carl has five surviving sisters, Carolyn Kingery and Beverly Byus, both of Gallipolis, Sandra (James) Kapp of West Columbia, West Virginia, and Sharon Pickens and Marsha (David) Hindy, both of Pt. Pleasant, West Virginia; brother-in-law, Paul Russell and sister-in-law, Kim Beaver, both of Gallipolis; uncle, Jimmy Dale (Inez) McGuire of Mercerville; aunt, Eleanor Shelton of Grove City, Ohio; and several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Larry Dean Beaver; and sister, Mary Jane Russell.
The funeral service for Carl "Bub" Beaver will be 1 p.m. on Monday, August 20, 2018 at the Mercerville Baptist Church with Pastors Dean Warner, Alfred Holley, and Edward Griffin officiating; the burial will follow in Ridgelawn Cemetery. Friends may call on Sunday, August 19, 2018 from 2 – 5 p.m. at Willis Funeral Home

Please accept our deepest sympathy, Kay. Remembering Carl from the G&J days, creating the Fast Stop, and then all his success in his own business must give you special memories. I always remember his smile and laugh. What a great guy. You are in our thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time.
