Steve Beattie Obituary

March 30, 1959 - April 26, 2022 Some folks affect countless people in their lifetime. Steve Beattie was one of them. He was blessed with genuine kindness, generosity, and a welcoming spirit. An eternal optimist and fun-loving mischief-maker, he will be missed by his family, friends and all who knew him. Steve died unexpectedly on April 26.
He was born in Bothell, WA to Tom and Joan Beattie who preceded him in death. After graduating from Blanchet High School, he spread his wings and moved to California and got a job painting. Eventually he started Steve Beattie Painting that he ran for over 30 years. With his strong work ethic, vision, and creativity, he built his dream into a renowned company where he took good care of his many employees.
Meeting Patty McGuire was the beginning of a love story that ended too early with Patty's death in 2017. She was the love of his life, and they were married in 1993. They shared a passion for design and color and collaborated on many of his projects throughout the years. Their son Tommy was their pride and joy, and he and Steve shared an avid love of sports. Tommy loved having his Dad as his coach and appreciated his support.
Steve leaves behind his son Tommy, sisters Colleen (Buzz), Monica (Steve), Emilie (Clark), brothers Joe (Terry), Ed (Mary) nieces, nephews, family, and friends too numerous to count. We love you forever. A Celebration of Steve's Life will be held at a later date.

Went to St. Brendan's with Steve and it sounds like he stayed the same genuine good soul human that he was then. Sorry for your loss as a family and condolences.
