Johnson VA Medical Center in Clarksburg. He was born on June 15, 1943, at Frenchton, a son of the late Floyd James and Opal Catherine Gooden Heavner. He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Naomi; one daughter Angela Heavner of Buckhannon; one son Shane Heavner of Buckhannon; five grandsons: Preston Surface (Janine) of Morgantown, Parker Surface (Morgan) of Morgantown, Peyton Surface (Gabrielle) of Buckhannon, and Caleb and Colin Heavner both of Buckhannon; one sister Christine McKisic (Kenny); one brother Robert Heavner (Betty) of Buckhannon; and several nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents, he was also preceded in death by one sister Evelyn Dean.<br><br>Gaylord lived his life according to God\u2019s commandment by quietly giving to those in need. Before his first cup of coffee each morning, he prayed for his family and friends and shared his love for the Lord by posting daily scriptures on social media in hopes of reaching others. His love for people carried through to his profession where he once drove to Mercer County during a blizzard to help a young family with a newborn baby who needed their furnace fixed. He was a master electrician all his adult life and worked for several companies, but eventually retired from his own business.<br><br>He was a United States Navy veteran, having served aboard the destroyer USS Braine.<br><br>In honoring his wishes, no services will be held. The Heavner &amp; Cutright Funeral Chapel will conduct the services for their beloved uncle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-text-align-center has-vivid-red-color\">Gaylord Ray Heavner 1943-2022 Obituary<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><a style=\"color:Tomato; \" href=\"https:\/\/www.snapwhole.com\/index.php\/randolph-county-west-virginia-area-obituaries\/\">Return Randolph County Area Obituaries Home Page<\/a><br><br><\/center>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div><p id=\"pvc_stats_115459\" class=\"pvc_stats all  \" data-element-id=\"115459\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snapwhole.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p><div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gaylord Ray Heavner 1943-2022 Obituary Return Randolph County Area Obituaries Home Page Gaylord Ray Heavner, age 78, of College Avenue, Buckhannon, went to be with his Heavenly Father on Friday, March 11, 2022, at the Louis A.
