Following his military service, he took on a significant role as a Manager in the Department of Agriculture for the state of North Carolina, where he applied his passion for serving the public.

Rick was a man of deep faith, loved God wholeheartedly, and was actively involved in his church community. He served as a deacon and a Sunday School teacher, generously sharing his knowledge and enthusiasm for the Gospel. On many occasions, he even took to the pulpit to preach, spreading the message of love and hope to those around him.

His mother, Garline Lee Stephens, preceded him in death, along with his grandparents, Leonard and Pauline Beasley and their memories remains a cherished part of his legacy.

Rick Beasley's unwavering spirit, love for family, and commitment to his faith will be long remembered, and his impact on the lives of those around him will continue to resonate. He will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
