Preston chose to never marry or have children of his own. This was due in part to the generous nature of his "REALLY BIG HEART". He filled his life with helping others. Although this intent was mostly misunderstood by today's standards, he lived an example of sharing his personal home and wealth. He really WOULD give the "shirt off his back"!
Preston is preceded in death by his parents, brother* and sister, cousin, and many much-loved close friends.
Preston is survived by his "Aunt Dern" Laverne Welch of Gatewway, Ark., and his sisters and their families, including their three great-grandchildren, which his survivors consider the mark of a strong family tree and a great life, well lived. He will be missed as a "one of a kind".
All are welcome to attend a Celebration of Life graveside service on Preston's birthday, at 2 pm Fri., May 19, 2023, at Bayless Cemetery (Gann Ridge Rd.) in Gateway, Ark.
