Leo Ray Beus

Leo was my 1st cousin and I admired hi fro afar. We had one family reunion at his hoe in 1998. It was memorable and Leo provided all that. Was needful. Thanks Leo. Also condolences to his sister Olive Beus Petersen. The Beus Famiy. is incredible

A number of years ago I worked as a court reporter on a gigantic national case with Leo for several years. Working with lawyers every day for years, I knew there was something very special about him from our very first deposition. By the end of the case I dubbed him "the best lawyer I had ever worked with and known." His knowledge, his manner, his work ethic, his competitiveness, his spirit and his humanity made him someone I will remember forever. Leo was a great human being gone far too soon! My deepest sympathy to his family.

I am shocked and saddened so deeply. He was a dear friend since law school My condolences to the family

My deepest sympathies to the Beus family. Leo was a formidable attorney. May his memory be a blessing.

My family has been friends with and associated with the Leo Beus family for 40+ years. Most of my fond childhood memories involved him and his family. He was there to help with adoption of my younger brother. He was there for scout activities. He was there to kick our butts in basketball. His lessons in Sunday school were Oscar winning extended directors cut edition. When he talked with you, you had his full attention. He´s a wonderful man who will be missed.

I remember Leo from the day I graduated Law School and moved to Phoenix in 1976. Leo was a great friend and mentor the entire time I know him. He was a kind man but a beast in the courtroom. May he Rest In Peace.

My deepest heartfelt condolences to Annette and the Beus family. Leo was a generous and kind soul who touched so many. Words cannot express how truly blessed I feel to have known Leo. Sending comfort and prayers to Annette and the Beus family in their time of grief.

With really great sadness I learned that Leo had passed away on Monday. He was the kindest, smartest and most caring person I have ever met. I still remember -as it was yesterday- when I met Leo for the first time by chance on a flight from Phoenix to Los Angeles, where we sat together. Leo, after learning that I am a professor at ASU, asked me about new strategies for student success and my research. He was so enthusiastic to learn about our work, where we aim to build the world´s first compact X-ray Free Electron Laser, the CXFEL, at ASU. This accelerator will allow us to revolutionize science by making molecular movies of biological processes "in action". Leo and Annette became real friends of our team at the Biodesign Institute and made an extremely generous donation that allowed us to build the instrument, which now nears completion. His brave heart has stopped beating but his legacy will live on forever in our hearts and the Beus CXFEL Laboratories, enabling new discoveries that will lead to breakthrough developments of novel drugs against human diseases including cancer. Leo, we miss you so much but I am sure that you will be there for your wife Annette, your family and friends when we need you and that you will follow our progress from the other world you are now in.

Find memories of the Beuses in 25th and Arcadia Ward. Enjoyed his stories while canning at the churches cannery on occasions. He was a fine person. This world needs more like him. Best to Annette and family. It may be that we are cousins through the Child's of Clinton, Utah, a farming community.

Thank you for the amazing contributions you have made to our Tempe and ASU communities. Condolences to the family and sending our love to Ryan, Megan and the boys.

To describe Leo as being highly motivated, unusually intelligent, extremely generous, amazing work ethic, competitive, extremely loyal, still significantly understated his qualities. In addition, he has always been a dedicated and humble follower of Jesus Christ´s gospel. Leo and Annette´s life achievements, services, and sacrifices for others far exceeds my ability to describe. Growing up with Leo on the farm, he was always my standard. A cousin, Leo was more like a brother. Lifelong memories of his mentoring, encouraging me to run faster, work harder, and aim higher. He has always been there to help me across challenges, always loyal and eager to help. His encouragement, counsel, and example play an important part in our entire family´s life. Leo and Annette, his equal partner, are shining examples to us and our children and their spouses, a model they work hard to follow. Thanks Leo, for a life so well lived, for the example that you and Annette have set. We ask the Lord to comfort Annette and the family during his time of grief.

Intelligent, caring and dedicated-an outstanding attorney. Leo was a hard taskmaster as well as a kind and generous person. He has made a difference in so many lives. Our prayers for the Beus family in your loss. Leo will always be remembered with warm thoughts.

I first met Leo as an opposing counsel and it was like having two bulls in a China shop. He then became a lifelong friend. Leo had few equals. Clients were fortunate to have him represent them and lawyers like me blessed to have worked with him Steve Silvet

Our deepest condolences to the amazing Beus Family. Rather than us helping to heal Leo, he helped to heal us with his amazing spirit and warm, generous heart.

A great man. He will be missed. Prayers to the family.

Generous. The one word our family knew for Leo. Our family is blessed to know not only Leo and Annette, but their children and grandchildren. He and Annette were generous with not only though donation of money, but their time. Our family is ever grateful for the kindness and generous heart of Leo and the legacy he passed onto his family and friends.

Leo Beus has had such a profound influence in my life and the lives of my children. We have so many great memories of Leo. He was so generous, loving, kind, funny, intelligent, giving and made us always feel so special. The life he lived and the example he set will always be in our hearts, making me want to do better and be better. What an amazing man, we will miss him and cherish all the memories of Leo Beus. May God comfort his entire family during this difficult time of loss.

Dear Beus family, church members, BGM family, and friends, thoughts and prayers to you during this time of overwhelming shock and grief. May your memories provide comfort and be held closely in your hearts. God bless.

I am so saddened to learn of this. Leo was a good and generous man. My deepest sympathies to all of his family. May God grant you peace.

We love Leo and the Beus family. We know he is already hard at work on the other side. I´ll never forget one of the first lessons I learned from him shortly after moving into the Town Lake Ward. I asked him when he planned on retiring. His answer came as a shock but profoundly inspired me all the same. He said "never, the minute you stop working is the minute you start dying". I took this as a lesson to always keep myself mentally and actively engaged in something productive, whether that be a hobby, a church calling, self-improvement, study, or a job. I´m grateful for his example and all of the positivity he brought into this life. He leaves behind a legacy that few will match and we are proud to have known him. - the Jeff and Annie Webb family.

To the Beus family we are deeply sad to learn of the loss of such a great man Mr. Beus was a titan of a man who did many great things but he also had a kind heart. I will never forget coming to his office for a legal conference his presence so intimidating I couldn't speak the attorney online was trying to give the facts impeding the progress of the case he was so passionate about his work he slammed his fist down on the desk in an effort to have me bring forward the facts. I began to cry and he said " maybe I'm being too hard" and he handed me a tissue. He had a soft side one of a father like figure I admired him . Mr. Beus is a loss to all that worked with him and those in his community. You will be greatly missed and always remembered.

My heart hurts for your loss
I pray God sends you comfort in this sad time
He will be missed by many
