James Allen Beem

James Allen Beem, 64, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family at Mercy Hospital on Thursday, November 16th, 2023 at 5:14PM. He battled lung cancer for years until God called him home, healing his pain and suffering forever. James went by Jim during his life. He especially loved his children, animals, and his wife who passed away in 2016. He took such pride and love in his children and grandchildren. You could see a twinkle in his eye every time he mentioned them. They truly were the apple of his eye. Jim lived a very rough life but he did his best with the hand dealt to him. He will be remembered for his love for his kids, grandkids, for his wife, for his sister, and for his animals. He loved anything outdoors but especially fishing and camping. He took pride in his trade, welding and did that his entire adult life until he retired. He was always a jokester and had the goofiest sense of humor. He will be deeply missed. He was met in heaven by his mother, Leola, his wife, Sandy and countless other family members. He is survived by his sister Carol (Larry), daughters Kristin, Stephanie, and Michelle, his sons Jeremy and Jeff. His grandchildren, Chloe, Kaylee, Connor, Livia, Christian, Gage, Korbin, Caleb, Riley, and Leyna. A celebration of life will be held in the spring or summer. Reach out to family members if you'd like to attend. We thank everyone for your warm thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
