Jack Felder Beasley left this sweet earth Saturday, August 8th, 2020 just one week shy of celebrating his 64th wedding anniversary with his wife Carolyn. He met the love of his life, Carolyn at a Rainbow-DeMolay Valentines Dance February of 1954. They dated until August of 1956 when they were married on August 15th, 1956 and were together always until he went to be with our Lord, Jesus Christ. They loved each other with every beat of their hearts and they were strong in love and strong as a couple.

There were so many fun chapters of his life, with he and Carolyn teaching their 3 children to love and enjoy the great outdoors. Always doing fun activities, like hunting, camping, fishing, and dirt bike riding, as well as playing basketball, football and dodgeball with his children. He also loved NASCAR and loved working on cars and motorcycles with Jack II and Tammy.

After he retired, he and Carolyn sold their house and went full time RV’ing with their friends, traveling all over the Country, before settling back down in Chama in 2007 to help his daughter Tammy and her husband Mike run the Laundromat. You could always find him there working on a machine or a dryer, or just visiting with the customers, sharing a smile and laughter and occasionally playing a practical joke. He was very kind, helpful and generous, always a pleasure to be around. People who met him always came away from the meeting with a good feeling.
