Michael Richard Beeman, 72, Nevada, MO passed from this life on March 16, 2026, at Moore-Few Nursing Home in Nevada. Mike was born May 8, 1953, in Nevada, MO to R. Norman and Betty (Craig) Beeman. He was united in marriage to Susan Beeman on March 8, 1982 and she survives of the home.

Mike grew up in Nevada, graduating from Nevada High School in 1971. After graduation Mike went to work for the Railroad as well as raising pigs with his father. In 1985 Mike started work at 3M, retiring in 2013. Shortly after his retirement he decided to take up baking and smoking meat for several friends and fellow co-workers. His rolls, cheesecakes, sourdough bread and healthy muffins were some of his specialties. He also did an excellent job smoking pulled pork, brisket, ribs, and tri-tips. He started doing some catering and enjoyed that up until last year when his health wouldn't allow him to continue.
