John Michael Beauchamp died unexpectedly February 21, 2018 at his home
in Kent, Washington.

John was born to Josephine and Alec Beauchamp on June 10, 1954 in
Detroit, Michigan and was the eldest of 9 siblings. John now joins his
sister Michelle, his Father Alec Beauchamp and his Grandmother Dorothy
Mc Harg in Heaven. He leaves behind his siblings Sheryl (Lee)
Inglefield, Monica Northam, Adele (Jim) Shea, Kimberly (Ernest)
Yalweishe, Donna Chandler (Ed), Elizabeth Cannon, Chris Beauchamp and
many nieces and nephews including his Godson CJ.

John was extremely intelligent and attended many gifted schools
throughout life. He moved from Pontiac, Michigan to Lake Havasu in
1977 and then relocated to Seattle, Washington to work for Boeing in
1998. With only a brief layoff, he remained with Boeing until his
death. John loved his employees and as much overtime he could get!
John was a dedicated and exemplary employee that truly loved his
position and working on the big jet planes.

In his spare time, John enjoyed playing pool, fishing and camping. He
held his childhood friends and Lake Havasu friends close to his heart.
He enjoyed talking for a few hours about current events or his
favorite past times, this was often a highlight of his week. He held
friends from his Michigan neighborhood and those whom he worked with
as a camp counselor near and dear to his heart.

John had planned to relocate back to Lake Havasu after his retirement
in 2020 to be near family but God chose to take him home. He had
planned on spending time again at Gallagher's with friends playing
darts, pool and drinking a few beers. He looked forward to just
relaxing and watching Letterman, Carson Gallagher and Carlin. There
surely is one heck of a card game going on in heaven with many aunts
and uncles with John having strategized the end right from the
beginning.

A remembrance mass will be held at 11 am on Saturday, May 19th at Our
Lady of the Lake Catholic Church immediately followed by a brief
service at the cemetery. To honor John's loyalty to life and friends,
his family would like to invite you to Gallagher's Dining & Pub, May
19th from 1:30 – 3pm to share memories of what made John special.
