Paul Daniel Bean

1962 - 2016

BEAN, Paul Daniel After a protracted battle with cancer, Paul Daniel Bean died on October 5, 2016 in McKinney, TX, at the age of 54. Paul was born on July 4, 1962 in Kingsville, TX, to father Ronald Paul and mother Sharon Linda, who predeceased him. He is survived by his wife, Barbara Bean; and sister, Tricia Sanders. He will be remembered as a loving husband, brother and son. Paul was a quiet, thoughtful man with a love of biking and canoeing. When diagnosed with colon cancer in 2013, he remained dedicated to his work as an irrigation manager and in his will to fight his illness. He remained a brave, iron-willed man, even throughout his final months. Paul requested to be cremated. His ashes will be scattered at his favorite place to canoe White Rock Lake - at a later date. The family would especially like to thank Tom Tooker, Paul's daily companion and best pal, for his excellent work and loving care, and also the staff of Faith Presbyterian Hospice for their constant, attentive treatment. In lieu of flowers, please send a donation to the Colon Cancer Fund.
