Gerald "Dwain" Endsley, age 77 went to be with his Lord and Savior the evening of

March 3, 2023, with the love of his life Eleanor "Beth" by his side. Dwain was born in Oklahoma City, OK on May 7, 1945, son of Arthur and Jessie (Meadows) Endsley. As a child, he, along with his four brothers, helped to harvest local crops. Throughout his youth, you could also find him with a .22 rifle or bow and arrow in hand. He and his brothers would contribute their catch to the family dinners. In his early years Dwain and his family moved to California. He graduated from Pomona High School. In California in 1967, he met and married Beth. They remained faithful to each other for 56 years.

Dwain was a true renaissance man. He loved any challenge and could always be counted on for his problem-solving skills. Dwain found satisfaction in auto mechanics and small engine repair. In the early 80's Dwain and Beth moved to Oregon. Dwain had many hobbies. He was a talented self-taught artist, woodworker and singer. His favorite song was "On the Wings of a Snow White Dove." In Oregon he perfected his welding skills. He handmade wood stoves and other metal structures.

In the late 80's Dwain, Beth and their two daughters relocated to Arkansas where he began a landscaping and janitorial business with his brother Jerry. He was quite the entrepreneur. In 2000 Dwain and Beth moved to Missouri where he discovered his true calling as an electrical tradesman becoming a production supervisor. After retiring, Dwain and Beth spent many sunny afternoons together riding on their four-wheeler while exploring the hills and back roads of Missouri.
