Patrick Thomas Beall, 77, of Bogart, died on Wednesday, May 8, 2024.
Born in Atlanta, GA to John Thomas Beall and Barbara Byrne Beall (later Barbara Byrne Allen), Pat graduated from the University of Georgia with his bachelor’s degree in 1969. While working as a respiratory technician at New York University hospital, he met an intensive care nurse, Frances Eicher, who would become his wife. Pat returned to the University of Georgia to pursue his law degree, and he and Fran married in 1973. They made their home together in Bogart, and Pat dedicated himself to making his new hometown and state a better place. He and Fran volunteered with Jimmy Carter’s presidential campaign; and Pat served as mayor of Bogart, volunteered as a firefighter, and wrote a column for the Oconee Enterprise. Professionally, Pat worked as an attorney for over thirty years. He initially worked for Legal Aid offering legal services to prisoners in south Georgia, then opened his private practice in Watkinsville. In his younger days, he was active in the Unitarian Fellowship.
Pat is survived by his wife of 50 years, Fran Eicher Beall; their two sons, Joshua Beall (Benedicte Lebehot) and Christopher Beall.
A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, May 29 at Lord and Stephens, West Chapel at 2:00 p.m. The family will receive friends for one hour prior to the service.
