Rebecca Bronson Obituary

Rebecca M "Beka" Bronson

November 9, 1979 - November 8, 2023

Gladstone, Missouri - A life so beautifully lived deserves to be forever remembered and we will always remember our Beka who was taken from us far too soon and too young at the age of 43.

Beka Bronson, of Gladstone, Mo, left us earthside on Nov 8, 2023, due to complications of Stage 4 Melanoma. She was a fighter and chose life daily as she never gave up hope or the desire to live each day to its fullest!

She was born on November 9, 1979, to Mary J Townley and F Harvey Townley Jr in Kansas City. She arrived ready to explore and conquer this life all the while never ceasing to help others along the way. She even chose to donate her body to science upon her death with hopes to help ensure no one else would have to suffer the same way and to ultimately pave the way for a cure.

Beka married the love of her life, Gary Bronson II on August 21, 2004, and welcomed the second love of her life, Gary Bronson III (Trey), on November 17, 2006. Beka couldn't wait to be a mom and Trey was her pride and joy.

Beka, Gary, and Trey -- together they lived a lifetime of love and memories in such a very short amount of time.

Beka loved life which included all her family & friends. She was always ready to garden, plant flowers, decorate - especially with sunflowers!, ride her motorcycles, cruise in her Mustang, play her drums, host a gathering, sing karaoke, plan events, do her hair and makeup (or anyone else's!), watch an episode of COPS, or simply spend an evening at home with her two favorite guys.

She wanted to see and experience the beauty in people and all things and situations and would seek it out at every opportunity. She was the best employee - dedicated & loyal - no matter the circumstances.

Beka built a life to be lived and enjoy and she did just that with the best sense of humor and brightest personality! She desired to love people no matter what and we will always cherish the moments and memories of her life we were blessed to walk with her through.

As siblings, we will always be the Fab Four - losing you will never diminish your place in our hearts - we love you always & forever.......Wayne Townley, Marjorie Townley, and Rachel Knowles along with all of your nephews & niece!

Beka - you will never be forgotten and you will forever be missed but your legacy WILL live on!
