Joseph D. "Joe" Beachler, age 70, of
Canal Winchester, Ohio, passed away peacefully at home on Thursday, April 17, surrounded by the family he loved so dearly.
Born on July 13, 1954, in Columbus, Ohio, Joe was the beloved son of the late Richard and Dora (Spatafora) Beachler. From a young age, Joe embodied strength, loyalty, and a quiet kindness that touched the lives of everyone who knew him.
In 1972, Joe proudly answered the call to serve his country by joining the United States Air Force. He served with honor and integrity, earning the rank of Sergeant before returning home to begin the next chapter of his life. He later dedicated many hardworking years as a lineman for the Columbus electrical company, ensuring that others could live with comfort and light-just as he always did for those around him.
After retirement, Joe embraced the joys of a well-lived life. He found peace and freedom riding his motorcycle alongside his brother Pat, savored good cigars, and shared laughter and friendly competition on the golf course. He treasured family vacations and held a special love for cruises taken with his life partner, Teresa, and their loved ones. These journeys were more than just travels-they were memories made, full of laughter, stories, and unshakable bonds.
Of all the roles he held in life, none brought him more joy than being "Pappy" Joe's heart swelled with pride and affection for his grandchildren, and he cherished every moment spent watching them grow, sharing stories, and creating lifelong memories.
Joe's legacy is one of love, devotion, and quiet strength. He will be deeply missed by all who had the honor of knowing him, and his spirit will live on in the hearts of those he held close.
He is survived by his loving partner of 36 years, Teresa Beachler; children, Mike (Trisha) Beachler, Brad (Steph) Worthington, and Donyell (Bud) Arter; grandchildren, Megan, Corey, Brittany, Bradlee, Brooklyn, Leslie, and Travis; brother, Patrick (Linda) Beachler; nephew, Jeff (Sara) Campbell; and numerous friends and other loved ones.
