Mr. Jarrod Edward Betterton, age 40, of Chatsworth passed away Tuesday, December 15, 2020 at Floyd Medical Center from complications of ALS.

Jarrod was a hardworking, loving father, a son, a brother, one of many cousins and a great friend. He loved raising his son and daughters, enjoyed spending time at the saddle club and watching horse shows. He enjoyed racing and loved Alabama football. "Roll Tide"! He loved going to the lake and swimming with his family. He had a heart of gold and would give you the shirt off his back. He always had a smile, liked to joke around and was always laughing.
