There are no words that can begin to describe how great a man he was. The qualities that he possessed are far too innumerable to mention. They begin with were his quick-wit and his humble spirit and continue through to his extraordinary strength and unconditional faith. His greatest passions in life were his family and the outdoors. Being a grandpa to Brinley brought him great joy. He enjoyed the simple things in life. It didn't take much to make him happy. He always had a project in the works, whether it be restoring a 1965 Ford Mustang or oil painting a photograph of his daughters. Some of his fondest memories were of hunting and fishing with his son. Among some of his greatest qualities was his sense of humor. No matter how poorly he felt, he was never too ill to make us laugh. Dar was the humblest of men. His faith and belief in all people shone throughout his exemplary life. His kindness and compassion towards others was extraordinary. To know Dar was to love Dar. He had a heart of gold. His selflessness was unconditional. He would give all, if it meant helping another. His strength in struggling with earthly challenges was unparalleled. He continued to persevere no matter what the circumstances. Dar is survived by his loving family: Sue; Michelle (Cayse) Bettis, granddaughter, Brinley Lenore Bettis; Scott (Aubrie), and Amy; his brothers, Theo & Gerry (Janice). He is preceded in death by his parents; his sister, Iris; step-father, Norman Fritz Bellows; and in-laws, Wes and Lenore Kofford.
