October 11, 1948-October 29, 2025
Born on October 11, 1948, in Artesia, California, Dennis lived a long and meaningful life. His military service as Staff Sergeant in the United States Air Force meant the world to him. He spent a year and one day in Vietnam which greatly impacted his life and those around him. Dennis also spent nearly 38 years as a Cryogenic Field Tech, Plant Manager, and an Environmental Health and Safety Representative before his retirement.
Dennis went to be with the Lord on October 29, 2025, in Claremont, CA at the age of 77. He is preceded in death by his parents, Nelvin & Nella Beukelman. He is lovingly remembered by his wife, Nancy Beukelman, and his son Brian, daughter in-law Jessica, and son Brent. Dennis also leaves behind three grandchildren: Evan, Lucas, and Olivia, two brothers, James (Ann) Beukelman and Roger (Glenda) Beukelman, two sisters, Debra (John) Foster and Lia (Scott) DeHart.

Nancy I am so very sorry your family´s loss. I knew Dennis well before working along side of him and respected him dearly and was privileged to call him my friend. Dennis and my dad who passed earlier this year were like brothers.
