BEACH, Michael R. – of Muskegon, formerly of Otisville, age 60, died Saturday, July 19, 2025, at Trinity Health – Grand Rapids. Honoring his wishes, cremation will be taking place. A Celebration of Mike's Life will be held on Sunday, July 27, 2025, from 12PM until 4PM, at Extreme Indoor Kart Racing - 2259 W. Vienna Rd., in Clio for family and friends.
Michael was born on December 29, 1964, in Flint, Michigan, to Raymond and Emily (Dow) Beach. He graduated from Lakeville High School with the class of 1983. Mike met the love of his life, Annette Ryder, and together they shared 39 wonderful years. A dedicated mechanic his entire life, he retired from American RV in Burton after 25 years of service. Racing was Mike's true passion. He loved everything about it-from enduro car racing to local short tracks, and from small engines to big cars-especially at Auto City Speedway and Birch Run Speedway. When he wasn't at the track, you could find him in his home shop, building race cars and staying busy with projects. Mike was never one to sit still. He enjoyed working outdoors, spending time in the woods, and cutting lumber. Mike's hard working nature and love for life were evident in everything he did. He will be deeply missed by all.
Surviving are: Wife, Annette; Daughter, Andrea Lesoski; Son, Jon Beach; Grandchildren: Jason, Lanny, and Gage; Mother, Emily Beach; Sisters: Treasa Beach, Elaine (Gary) Potter, and Kimberly (Ron) Alt; Many loving nieces, nephews, other family members and friends. Mike was preceded in death by: Father, Raymond Beach; Brother, Steven Beach. Please sign our guestbook or share an online condolence with the family at www.oguinnfh.com.
