Sorry to see this actor go. Sincere sympathy for his families loss

John was a great man and he will be missed. Thoughts and prayers to his family. I stopped at the visitation yesterday. Prayers are with you!

My condolences to the Beasley family. I was blessed to have volunteered at the John Beasley Theatre and had a nice conversation with John learning that he was, at one time, stationed at Ft. Monmouth NJ, where I briefly worked. He was such a nice and caring man, making everyone feel as if they were important. Again, my deepest condolences to the Beasley family and especially his dear wife, Judy.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Ive had the extreme pleasure of knowing John for many years, no finer man was put on this earth by God. He was very proud of his family, and yet very humble of his own accomplishments. I will miss his smile and kindness as will many people, my sympathy to all his family.

Your movie appearances will be remembered.

Sending condolences to Judy and the entire Beasley family. To the man that was never without a smile, rest in peace!

So very sorry to learn of John's passing.
I will always remember my first show with John in Omaha.
He was a wonderful example of his chosen craft and his incredible talent was a shining example to everyone.
He will be missed by all.
Sincerely,
Ryle Smith

Dear Judy and the Beasley Family,

In memory of John.

John touched people through theatre, television, cinema, and his personal contact. In doing so, he encouraged people to pursuit their dreams.

I met John when we were students at Howard Kennedy school. Our team won championships in sports under the coaching of Mr. Robert Rose. Afterwards, John attended "Tech" and I attended "Central." May years later, John and I became reacquainted through our mutual friendship with Marlin Briscoe. A couple of years ago, the three of us shared pleasantries, memories, and played golf to support Jennie Edmundson Hospital. I also met John's gracious wife, Judy, during this time. Most recently, John confirmed his acting interest in a film that I wrote.

Though John is gone, the good he´s done carries on.

May you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of a community caring family and friends.

In sympathy.

Yours Truly

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Everything I know about acting, I learned it from John Beasley. Judy and Family I am so sorry for your loss. John you trusted me with "Rose" unknowingly. It was my debut stage performance and "Fences" was the opening show in the John Beasley Theatre. I'm a better actor because of you. Thank you for all you have taught me about this craft. RIH my friend.

We send our prayers and love to the family. He was a man who always had a pleasant smile and was so free hearted. We were blessed to know him. God bless from the Dacus family.

John you were a good friend through the years and you´re going to be missed when we used to stroll the halls at Tech high to Benson Golf Course

Remember the movies "Rudy" and "The Mighty Ducks" in the 1990's.

To Judy and the family of my dear friend. I have enjoyed knowing such a great and kind man! My prayers are with you and may God grant you peace in your fond memories

Thank you for your Service May you be Granted an Honorable and Restful Peace

Dear Judy
I am deeply sadden by the loss of John. He was a kind, caring and compassionate person and never waivered. His wisdom and knowledge was priceless!! I've known John all my life and his integrity, love of humankind, and the love of his family has proven the man he was. In our UP days, John always would tell me of his dreams and aspiration. He achieved them all!!! God bless you and the family and continue to share his legacy with the world. John was truly a Bright Star. Hold on to God's Unchanging Hand.

To Beasley Family
May the God of comfort grant you peace during this difficult time.

I first became aware of John Beasley's talent in the late 50's when he was the "voice" in John Weldon Johnson's The Creation. John was a performer in the Junior Theater at Tech High School. I was an elementary student at Long Elementary School. I was captivated by his reverberating voi e as he said "And God step out into space and said, I'm lonely, I'll make me a world". As a 6th grader I met his brother, Steven and we became friends. Through Steven I have known and respected the Beasley family since then. John was one of a kind. My condolences to the family for our loss.

Thank you for your military service

Thank you for sharing your artistic gifts with the world. You´ve touched so many more lives than you´ll ever know. Blessing

Back in the day, John and I played football at Omaha University, now UNO! He was a dedicated athlete focused on working hard for a common goal, Success! It´s been many years since we talk, but he was always a man I admired for his work ethics! God Bless my Friend!

Thank you sir for being so constantly kind. Blessings to the entire family

Judy, I'm so sorry to hear of John's passing. He was always so gracious when you guys would come into my Barnes & Noble store and I would be fanboying all over him. He will be sorely missed! I offer my condolences and prayers to you and your family.

Just devastated! I'm praying for the family! I loved seeing him around town here in NW omaha and in South O when I used to live there. He's a fantastic humble lovely, kind man!!! Miss you John!

John is in heaven entertaining God, his mother Grace, his father John, Sr and the Angels. He will be missed.

God bless you & the Beasley family!

My deepest sympathies.

Years ago enjoyed running with John and listening to his stories. His stories about growing up and Omaha Tech High School. Always greeted me with a smile. Thanks for being a friend. RIP. Kent Darnell

My sincere condolences to the Beasley Family.
John will be greatly missed. We were not the best of friends but shared a few classes as we attended Omaha Tech High and graduating with the Class of 1961. Many good memories and times.
Bless John and his family.

Sending light, love, peace and prayers to all who knew him. He is missed and loved by many...

John Beasley, was a wonderful character actor, who was very talented & believable at his craft. I wish you Godspeed, sir & RIP.

What sweet man! So sorry for your loss!
I didn´t know him socially, but ran into him at the store one time, and I said, " I really like your work". He said "Thank you, that´s nice to hear!"
I said "When people talk about you, I always brag that you´re from Omaha, like I know you personally."
John said "What is your name?"
When I said "Terri" he shook my hand and said "Hello Terri, I´m John! Now you CAN say we know each other!"
Such a nice and gracious man!

I have a lot of fond memories about John from our days at Omaha Tech High. I remember him as playing in multiple sports and always very friendly. I know as adults, we were never close friends, but that can’t away the memories from high school. Rest In Peace. Dick Smith

Well Done John. Well Done My Friend. You´re Already Truly Missed. Rest In Peace. I´ll make sure Judy keep grabbing "The Mic" Lioness

Dear Judy, keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers, I am so very sorry for your loss of John.

John was one of the most likable men I ever knew. He was a friend from our first hello. In our last conversation he shared that he was going to New York City to be in a musical. I told him that when he gets to Broadway to not forget us little people. That caused him to laugh. He was so genuine and kind. I will miss him and cherish my memories of John.

A talented and memorable actor, it was always great to watch him. Prayers for the Beasley family, sorry for your loss, God be with you.

R.I.P. Mr.John

Please accept my sincere condolences. I first saw Mr. Beasley in the movie the General’s Daughter starring John Travolta. I am in complete surprise Mr. Beasley passed away.
