Kevin Beadles, age 63, of Galien, died peacefully Saturday morning, September 30, 2017, at home in the comfort of his family’s presence.
He was born October 23, 1953 in La Porte, Indiana, the fourth of eight children born to Bud and Polly Beadles. He married Diane Kay Lambert October 21, 2006.
Kevin was a history buff. If someone was blowing stuff up he wanted to know about it. Kevin liked weapons of all kinds, but especially black powder guns. He enjoyed blacksmithing, leather working, blues music and good whiskey. His family will miss the many “debates” that they teasingly suggest he thought he always won, although they said he wasn’t happy unless he was complaining. He was a prolific killer of catfish. He did a lot of camping with his daughters when they were young. Kevin was a motorcycle enthusiast. He loved taking trips with his wife. Kevin will definitely be missed.
Kevin will be greatly missed by family and friends. He is survived by his wife, Diane Beadles of Galien; three daughters, Sarah Harmon of La Porte, Jessica Fritzen of Chesapeake, Virginia, Rebecca Beadles of Casper, Wyoming; seven grandchildren, Jefre Fritzen, Bruce Beadles, Marcos Hernandez, Alexandria Hernandez, Clarissa Harmon, Ethan Harmon, Leland Harmon; two great grandchildren, Jay Brooks, Emeri Newnam; four brothers, Claude Michael Beadles of Fish Lake, Indiana, Roger (Delona) Beadles and Tim (Diane) Beadles both of La Porte, Indiana, Thomas Beadles of Fish Lake, Indiana; a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
Kevin was preceded in death by his parents and three siblings, Bruce Beadles, Lisa Smith, and David Beadles.
