| BOBBY DEAN CHASTAIN |
|
Bobby Dean Chastain, son of Earl Thomas and Ethel Coffey Chastain, was born November 16, 1937, in Comanche, Oklahoma, and departed this life December 20, 2008, in Springfield, Missouri, at the age of seventy-one years. Bobby made a profession of faith in Christ and at the time of his death was an active and faithful member of First Assembly of God Church. He was very close with his church family and had a special bond with two children, Tony and Andrew Sherrer. The relationship he had with each member was one he treasured dearly. He was united in marriage with Beverly Kays and to this union was born two sons. He and Beverly had a loving relationship and appreciated every moment they spent together. Bobby attended school in Lebanon, where he remained and began working at Roger’s Lumber Company as long as his health allowed. His favorite past time was collecting antique toy cars and trucks. However, nothing compared to the time he spent with his family and the dedication he had to children. His friends and family will forever remember how he adored them. Bobby is survived by his wife Beverly; one son, Rev. Robert Chastain and his wife Debra of Campbell, MO; several nieces and nephews; church family; other relatives and many friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, one son, Bryan Dean Chastain, three brothers, Elmer Ray Chastain, James Chastain and Tommy Franklin Chastain, who died in infancy, and two sisters, Dottie Johnson and Glenna Reeves. Bobby was a lover of life, with the ability to make everyone around him feel like part of his family. His kind spirit and gentle heart was a trait desired by so many and attained by so few. Those who had the pleasure of knowing him will remember those traits always.Contributed by: Carrie Tuck {cvt1977@yahoo.com} |
