Mr. Beavers passed away on Thursday, December 11, 2025, in Nacogdoches, TX. He was born August 1, 1940, in Nacogdoches, TX.

Bryan Beavers, affectionately known as "Brownee" in the Garrison community and "Mr. B" to many in Houston, passed away surrounded by the love of his family. He was born in Nacogdoches, Texas, to Alma and Rufus Beavers and was raised in Garrison alongside his brother Billy and sisters Joann, Bobbie, and Lenda.

Bryan attended school in Garrison, where he formed lifelong friendships-one of the most important being with Wayne Hough. It was through Wayne that he met Linda, the woman who would become his wife and life partner.

Before marriage, Bryan welcomed his first son, Stormy, with Jerri. After meeting Linda, the two married, moved to Houston, and built a life together. Bryan's first job was at a feed store, but before long he began his career as a longshoreman at the Port of Houston. He proudly joined the Longshoremen's Union and worked on the waterfront for many years. During their time in Houston, Bryan and Linda welcomed three children: Brenda, Bryan Jr. (Bubba), and Robin.

Bryan later moved his family back to Garrison, where he operated a dairy farm for several years before returning to Houston to start a successful stevedore supply company. After selling his business, he moved to Center, Texas, planning to retire-but retirement never quite stuck. He adopted his son Bradly, whom he was exceedingly proud of, and went on to build another thriving venture that included rental storage units, rental homes, and an RV park.

Bryan lived life with energy, humor, and a deep love for the outdoors. He enjoyed shooting skeet and was a proud member of the skeet club. He also had a race car that kept him busy and smiling. He loved deep-sea fishing, hunting, traveling, and especially putting his boat into the water-fresh or salt. Every boat trip became a story: forgetting the boat key at home, running out of gas, or some unexpected twist that turned an ordinary outing into an adventure. These memories will continue to bring joy to those who loved him.

He is survived by his daughters, Brenda Whiteman and husband Jon of Livingston, Texas, and Robin Beavers of Timpson, Texas; his son Bradly Beavers of Tenaha, Texas; and his sister, Lenda Rathwell of League City, Texas.

He is also survived by six grandchildren-Mashona, Marie, Bryan, Derrick, Danielle, and Shelby-and Seventeen great-grandchildren who brought him immense pride and joy.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Rufus and Alma Beavers; his sons, Stormy and Bryan Jr. (Bubba); his brother Billy; and sisters Joann and Bobbie. One great grandson Tyler.

Bryan's life was full-full of work, full of stories, full of family, and full of adventure. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who loved him.
