Mr. Petty was a longtime active member of Gospel Light Community Church (formerly First Evangelical Methodist of Marietta).

The delight of Mr. Petty's life were his four grandchildren, and he enjoyed watching their many sports and musical activities over the years. He felt especially blessed to have become a great grandfather and enjoyed participating in two birthdays and Christmas holidays with his beloved great granddaughter.

Mr. Petty enjoyed traveling with his wife to all regions of the United States, with his most memorable trips being to Alaska and Hawaii. He also enjoyed playing golf, and appreciated the opportunities to get outdoors for scenic hikes and the occasional camping trip in years past.

Most of all, Mr. Petty cherished the love of his life, Yevonne, and the time he spent with her.

He is preceded in death by two brothers, Fred Petty and Ronald Petty, and a son, Chris Petty in 2012.
