Guido Vincent Bevoni went home to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ on June 6, 2022. Graveside services will be held at 2:30 p.m., June 15, 2022 at DFW National Cemetery in Dallas. Officiating will be the Rev. Terry Johnson.

Guido was born in White Plains, New York on May 24, 1925 to the late Leon Bevoni and Mary Strada Bevoni Chiarelli. He married Clyttee Dobson on December 9, 1945 in Columbus Mississippi.

Guido enlisted in the Army Air Corps on March 11, 1945, became a pilot and went on to retire from the US Air Force Reserves as a Lt. Colonel. Although his service to his country began in World War II, he also flew troops and cargo in and out of Korea as well as piloting C130s with troops and cargo in and out of Vietnam. This began his life-long love of flying.

Guido remained employed as a pilot until he was 80 years old. Remarkably, at age 85 he began building his own plane, an RV12. After completing the project, he flew the aircraft for several years. One day he unexpectedly announced to his family, "My flying days are over". When asked why, he said, "OH, the flying is easy but getting in and out of the plane isn't!". Over his lifetime, Guido logged over 35,000 hours in the air.

He is preceded in death by his wife of 61 years, Clyttee Bevoni. Surviving are his son Doug Bevoni and wife Joyce of Arlington, Texas; daughter, Kathy Beckham and husband Tom of Sherman, Texas; three grandchildren, Bart Bevoni and wife Joy of Burleson, Texas, Gregg Bevoni and wife Christi of Mansfield, Texas and Jeff Beckham and wife Sheri of Frisco, Texas along with four great grandchildren, Carson Bevoni, Brett Bevoni, Sydney Beckham and Brooke Beckham.

Guido was a member of First Assembly of God in Sherman, Texas, pastored by Lonny Adams.
