Lon Bezile Obituary

Lon (Buzz) M. Bezile passed away on February 9, 2007 at Good Samaritan Hospital, in Phoenix, after a courageous battle with cancer. Lon was born in Traverse City, Michigan to Harold and June (Spangler) Bezile on August 25, 1956, where he grew up and lived until 1981 when he moved to Arizona with his wife and children. Buzz, as he was known to his friends, was employed with Revlon for many years and has worked for Coca Cola as a distribution supervisor for the past four years. As a music lover he played guitar and bass, and was a vacalist with several bands in the the area. He loved spending time with his family, especially his grandson, Jacob. Lon will be remembered for his love of life and family and his big heart. He had many friends and was loved by all who knew him. He is survived by his mother June Bezile of Traverse City, MI, children Christopher Bezile, Lindsay (Jake) Bezile-Harden, and his grandson Jacob Harden all of Phoenix, sister Virginia "Ginger" Taylor of Traverse City, MI, brother Dennis (Rachel) Bezile of Elk Rapids, MI, his ex-wife, good friend, and caregiver Linda (Jim) Hafner of Phoenix, niece Erin O'Brien of Phoenix, and nephew Chad Taylor of Vancouver, WA. Lon was preceded in death by his father Harold Bezile, paternal grandparents Harry and Dora Bezile, and maternal grandparents Alyce and Warren Thomas. A memorial service will be held February 13, 2007 at 4:00 PM at the Heritage Funeral Chapel - 6830 W. Thunderbird Rd in Peoria, AZ.

Think of you every day Buzz, probably always will. What a blessing it was to have you in my life. I can remember laughing so hard with you (on more then one occasion) when we would drop to our knees because we couldn't hold ourselves up any more. So many of my fun memories have you smack dab in the middle. Miss you my friend.. Love you forever.

THE BUZZ IS LOVE!!

nothing seems rite this year. people say time heals the pain. not mine, this year seems harder than last. i don't want to do anything again, i wasn't in the mood for christmas. i could of skipped it if it wasn't for jacob. you are missed so much that alot of the time when i'm around people it seems like people are still faking it. i don't think anyone is doing ok. i know how important you are to me but i never realized just how much impact just one person can have on people. i just wish i had more time. death is not fair at all. even all the pain we went through that day i would do it again just to see you and tell you in person that i love you. i'm tired of writing it i can't even watch shows where there is a "father-daughter moment" or where they are acting like someone is dying of cancer. its so fake it pisses me off. i don't know what to do sometimes. i seem unhappy and life seems unhappy. even though i wanna say it, not write it, i love you very much.

Hi sweetie how are you? we are working very hard to have some kind of life without you. it's not easy. i wish you were here to see how well Jacob is doing. i know you know, but it's not the same. Jacob and i talked about what it's like in heaven and what you look like now. i asured him you have hair and are very healthy now, and playing your music. Lon Jacob is very talented, Chris needs to start working with him. Lins is trying, i see life in her eyes again, Chris too when he talks of you or his philosophy's. you know some things are to private to share with other people. i love you and miss you. linda

To the Bezile Family:

I was unaware until today that Lon had passed away. I wanted you all to know how deeply sorry I am. I had no idea he was even ill. Had I known, I would have contacted him. I am in shock and very sad. I have been looking at pictures of Chris all grown up and I cant believe how talented he is. His band is great! I remember when he first started to perform. I am so proud of him and of Lindsay. Hello to to the Bezile family and my sincere and heartfelt condolences. Lon was a special man and to this day I never stopped caring about him.

Take care and God bless,

Happy Birthday Pop. I know it was yesterday, and I didn't forget... I was just sort of avoiding thinking about it too much I guess. although, not a day goes by that I'm not thinking about you. I suppose where you're at there's no need for computers or anyone to come and fix yours, lol. I miss you alot... we all do. I wish I had spent more time with you in the past. anyway, Happy Birthday. I love you.

Lindsay

August 25, 2008

happy birthday. i don't really know what to say right now other than that. i missed being able to give you a card and hug, i missed calling and getting together for yours and jakes day, i missed your laugh at a joke someone would probably say. See you soon daddy(you know what i mean) i love and miss you so much. i wish you could hug me

Pamela Abts

August 25, 2008

I missed wishing you a happy birthday today.

It was always a kick picking out just the right card for you. I felt such a sense of accomplishment if I could find one that was part of an inside joke.

I'll miss you forever my friend.


The Buzz is love!!!

rough few days, Pop. i was ok until the news reported that Tim Russert died, then they started saying how tragic it was for his son because it was only two days before Father's Day. as if he's the only kid to lose a dad? whatever... i know they didn't mean it that way, and it's sad all around when someone dies, but i suppose since i was already sensative to the issue it just rubbed me the wrong way. i certainly empathize with the kid. i love you, and i miss you everyday.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY

I miss you. Jacob and I had a nice talk about you this morning. I'm happy he remembers you, he's so young. Dad, sometimes, well, alot of the time, all I do is think of that day. I would do it all over again just to have 5 more mins. but sometimes the images in my head are awful but sweet at the same time. A year and half has gone by but sometimes I feel as sad as that night. It hurts. I love you and miss you and need you. Sometimes i feel like i'm writing stupid things but its what 'm feeling. I can't say it enough, how much i miss you. I love you

chris freakin' bezile

May 27, 2008

what's up Pop? i got the urge to call and talk to you today. it happens for a split second and then i realize i can't. i suppose this guest book is our surrogate telephone. so since you're in a position of higher knowledge now, i'd love some inside info or good advice on how to deal with the next 50 odd years on this rock. see ya soon (relatively speaking ;)

hey, Pop. yeah, i guess when we were in the process of extending this time on this Guest Book some of our entries didn't make it in. it was close to expiring so Lindsay just bought it "forever." i miss you a lot lately, more so after the Rock Away Cancer celebration. weird. wish me luck with my biz. things are going slow, and it looks like i have to get at least a "real" job part-time just to keep up with the bills. oh well. Que Sera Sera. i love you.

January 25, 2008

daddy i have so much to say and i can't get it out. sometimes the pain really hasn't gotten any easier. i know how many people i have to be greatful for and i am, they have helped me at least get to were i am right now, but you daddy, you were and are like this invisible link that connected everyone and we didn't even know it until now. i need to see you, go to your house, something. i need you. sometimes i feel like people expect me to just be okay, it's over, well it's not. sometimes i don't want to talk to anyone because i don't want to make them sad or maybe they don't wanna hear me. you were always a good listener, about everything. you always stayed so calm.sometimes we talked for hours on the phone or on your couch. i am not the same and have learned so many things that i wish i had known before.i always hold my feelings in until i'm alone.
i love you so very much and i hurt dad, i just hurt. this isn't your fault either. somewhere, someone else needed you and i will find out later and i believe you see me everyday but i physically need you and some answers now. i love you.

the band played a show in flagstaff the day before mom was having turkey dinner at her house. i didn't get back in town soon enough so i wasn't able to make it. though we're all trying to get on like normal, i think it would have been odd anyway. like lindsay says, nothing is the same without you. we're playing chicago this weekend, but you already knew that and i'm sure you'll be there :-) thanks for being a great dad. happy thanksgiving. i love you.

hi daddy,
last year at this time you were pretty sick from chemo and i remember just wanting to make it through the holidays with you, then whatever was meant to be would be.here i am again telling myself the same thing, just get through the holidays. NOTHING was the same this thanksgiving.people tried to distract me but i caught on. so here i am again not quite sure how i should be feeling. i love and miss you so much. i am still so grateful for so many good things in my life but nothing is the same without you. i love you. happy thanksgiving daddy.

yesterday was August 25, and would have been your 51st birthday. i wish i could say happy birthday, but it's just too hard. i didn't think the day would be as rough as it was, and as a matter of fact it didn't really hit me until later when everyone was gathered at Lindsay's house. it's nice to remember, but so incredibly hard at the same time. as you know it's Jake's birthday so we made sure to focus on that, but i didn't want to make small talk and couldn't look at your pictures. sometimes i'm able to just shrug and deal with it - tha'ts life and death is a part of it. most times i find myself trying not to think about the fact that you're gone, like i just haven't talked to you in a while. then there are those times, naturally on the important days, when i hate the world. i miss you and i love you. happy birthday Pop.

Lindsay Bezile-Harden

August 25, 2007

hi daddy,
happy happy birthday!!!i don't know what to say. i feel confused today with different emotions. i am happy, it is yours and jakes birthday, but i am so so sad. i want to call your number and see if you answer. i want you here today. the emptiness that we all feel is unbearable. you are the one person that connected everyone and everything. i love you sooo much. happy birthday dad.
love you,

hi daddy,

we went to "meet the teacher night" at jacob's school tonight. can't believe he starts kindergarden on monday. mom and jake and i will be taking him. i think he will actually do ok. wish you were here, especially for these milestone moments.
sometimes i feel like i am never going to feel better and sometimes i feel like you are right here. i miss you so much dad. there is a huge void in all our lives without you physically here. i still look for your approval about things. i find myself thinking "what would my dad say about this" i don't know what to do. i love you and miss you so much.
love you,

Hi Sweetie,
Just wanted to say HI, We had a very hot 4th of July. I went up north with Lins and Jacob, it was hot!!!!!!! We decorated Jacob's
bike for the parade, red white & blue, we had the best bike there! If
I say so myself. He had to stop to pick up candy in the road from everyone in the parade, they throw candy to the people wathing the parade, Jacob had it backwards, he kept stoping to pick it up.
Lon you would be so proud of Jacob its like a light went on this kid is so well behaved and so sweet
I can't do enough with him. He's grown so much . I told Lins that she would be buying new clothes & shoes every three months. WE are going to the drive-in this week in the buzz mobile. Jacob is very curious about where you set and how you hear the movie. this will be fun.
I miss our haircuys and our talks about the kids and family, and friends. I don't have anyone to talk to now.Or who cares as much.
All my love sweetie.I miss you.

Love you
Linda

I'm sure you and your dad will have a great Fathers day.We miss you so much it's hard to celebrate things right now. We wish you Happy Fathers Day. I'll leave it to you to guest what crazy silly gifts we would come up with. I know we made you laugh & shake your head sometimes[what were they thinking]
Sweetie, you know I come to talk to you alot, I'm doing my best with the kids & Jacob he talks about you if we drive down a certain way he knows what Dr. we would be seeing.
He took Fred on vaction with all of us, I got some funny video of Fred beating up Jacob,he's so funny. There are times I feel I have on one to talk,I took you for granted that you would always be there for us to talk about the kids. no matter how old they get I know they need us.I can't help them with their sorrow they have to go at their own pase, but i don't think theres enough time in this lifetime to ease our hearts. We miss you so much. You know there more I need to say but can't.
I thought writing would help today, but not so much.I LOVE YOU LON!!!!!!!HAPPY FATHERS DAYS!!!!!!!
Love Linda

Hi daddy,
it's funny that lately chris and i seem to be using this book to talk to you around the same time. Jacob and i stopped by to see you today. i have had such a hard week. it's been a little over 4 months and i'm not sure exactly where i am suppose to be in this grievieng(?) process. some days it feels like the first hour you were gone and other days i can think about you and just smile. this is by far the hardest life experience i have ever delt with. sometimes i have dreams and you are okay and other times i question some things. you are the only thing i think about sometimes. i miss you and i love you. i miss helping you and taking care of you. i would do it all over again just for 5 more minutes. my heart just hurts. jacob had some questions today when we saw you. he smiles when he talks about you. you are his papa buzz! we love you dad.
