Keith Allen Beach

Keith Allen Beach, a cherished husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, passed away peacefully on October 6, 2025, in Burton, Michigan, at the age of 78. Born on September 15, 1947, in Saginaw, Michigan, to the late Norman and Annerose (Denome) Beach, Keith's life was a testament to the joy and love he shared with everyone around him.
Keith proudly served his country in the United States Navy, a period of his life that instilled in him a sense of duty and honor that he carried throughout his days. On January 16, 1992, he married the love of his life, Sharon Stroup, in Lapeer, Michigan, and together they built a life filled with laughter, adventure, and an ever-expanding circle of family and friends. He is survived by his devoted wife, Sharon; his children, Michael Beach, Winter (Danny) Carden, Monte Beach, and Becky (Chad) Fisher; his siblings, Kitty Hamilton and William (Marilyn) Beach; as well as his adored 12 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Keith was preceded in death by his parents, his daughter Ashley, and brother-in-law Fred Hamilton.
Keith was a man of many passions. An avid fisherman, he found solace and joy in the quiet moments by the water. His love for socializing was evident in his enjoyment of dining at any bar, where he relished both the food and the company. A gifted cook, Keith often enjoyed his time in the kitchen, and he was known for his playful spirit, especially when goofing around with his grandchildren. His love for pastel colors was a unique trademark, as was his pride in his old truck, which announced his arrival with its distinctive rumble.
Vacations to Florida with his wife Sharon were among his most cherished getaways, providing them both with sun-soaked memories to last a lifetime. Keith's presence was a constant source of comfort and joy, whether he was spending time with his family and friends, popping in to see Sharon at work, or watching the Lions with "the guys."
Those who knew Keith will remember him as the epitome of funny, friendly, creative and loving. His laughter was infectious, his friendship was a gift, and his love was unconditional. Keith's legacy will live on in the hearts of those he touched, and his memory will be a beacon of light for all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
