Zach Dale Beatty #33 “Words cannot describe the amount of pain losing you is. To the man that has taught me everything I know and love, how to treat people the right way, how to work hard, keep my head screwed on tight, play the game of baseball, all of it. I thank you for making me the man I am today. To Matthew Beatty, a hard-nosed man who fought to the end, I will do everything in my power to live up to your name. Until we meet again Dad, get your glove ready❤️”
