Lawrence “Larry” Beeson

Lawrence “Larry” Beeson, age 72, of St. Charles, Missouri, passed away on Wednesday, March 28, 2018. Beloved husband of 48 wonderful years to Linda Beeson; cherished son of the late Lawrence “Jack” Beeson and Bertie Beeson; dear stepson of the late Dorris Palmer Beeson; devoted father of Karen (Terry) Reiland, Alan (Michelle) Beeson, and Amber Burgdorf; and loving grandfather of Brenna Reiland, Aubree Reiland, Carter Burgdorf, and Easton Burgdorf.

Larry was an avid bird watcher and lover of all things in nature. He was a life-long learner who was a self-taught expert in many subjects, though he’d be the last to admit it. Larry was an eclectic collector, who also loved to read. Larry will be remembered for his kind and humble nature, and for the loving devotion he gave to his family. He was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, uncle, cousin, and friend to many. Larry was deeply loved, and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Memorial contributions may be made in Larry’s honor to the Nature Conservancy or National Audubon Society.
