It is with shattered hearts that the family of Brian Beaubien shares that his body surrendered to pancreatic cancer on November 1, 2024. Brian's spirit remained unflinchingly strong until his last breath. He lived with love, curiosity, creativity, and bravery, and he adored the family and friends he shared his life with.
A long-time resident of St. Paul, MN, Brian graduated from Anoka High School and obtained his master's degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Minnesota. Brian was a student of the world around him and traveled extensively on four continents. He forged a career in biomedical research and development while always making room for loved ones and outdoor adventure.
Preceded in death by mother, Jean Beaubien, Brian's loss is mourned by beloved wife Kendra and cherished sons, Sebastian, Richard and Julian; father, Ron Beaubien and wife Lin Sedlar; sister, Christine Beaubien and family; parents-in-law Justin and Gail Wilson; sister-in-law Laurie Lyons and family; aunts, uncles, cousins and countless friends and colleagues he considered as family.
Funeral Liturgy held at 11AM, on Thursday, November 7, at St. Thomas More Catholic Church (1079 Summit Ave., St. Paul). Visitation one hour prior. Reception to follow service. Private Interment at Resurrection Cemetery in Mendota Heights.
