Robert Dean Beaman

Robert Dean Beaman, 75, of Graham, WA, passed away unexpectedly on August 2, 2025. He was born on May 15, 1950 to Floyd(Pappy)Beaman and Aileen(Toots)Beaman who preceded him in death. His sister Diane and his nephew Brian Dean, who both battled Leukemia also preceded him in death.

He is survived by his Daughter, Lisa Anne Beaman of CleElum, WA, and his son, Aaron Dean Beaman of Graham, WA. Words cannot express how deeply they are hurt by the tragic loss of their father far too soon.

He is also survived by his Brother Floyd Beaman Jr. and nephews, Geno, Richie, and Michael (Sudsy), and his nieces, Michalene(Mickey), Sandy, and Christy. He was loved for many years, and will be forever missed by his longtime girlfriend Anita, of North Tacoma. They shared many happy years together.

He was blessed with many lifetime friends who often joined him at his residence in his garage(shop) where they gathered frequently in competitive 3 ball games and shooting pool. They also enjoyed working on cars for hours on end. Bob took great pride in his beautiful classic 1956 Chevy Belair, which he kept in mint condition, and enjoyed driving on sunny days with his friends.

For years Bob was a Harley Davidson enthusiast and always sported a variety of their T-shirts from different locations around the country and world which were kept in good supply by his daughter Lisa, in her travels to various places.

Bob was a very kind and generous man, who took pleasure in helping his friends work on their cars or other challenges they faced in their lives.

We want to give special thanks and support to his good friend, Robert Price for his long courageous attempt to revive Bob by administering CPR until the rescue team arrived. He never gave up trying to bring him back to us and there are no words to express how grateful we are for his efforts to resuscitate him. We also want to thank the rescue team from our local Graham Fire Department who arrived quickly, and continued using lifesaving techniques tirelessly for nearly an hour in the early morning hours of August 2nd. Sadly despite all their valiant efforts they were unable to revive him.

Bob was loved by many, and things will not be the same without him. There is an incredible emptiness at his place now, where his ex-wife Lynn, Lisa's mother, resides in a home he has on his property. They continued a close friendship throughout their lives. They shared and supported their daughter Lisa in her many interests as she grew into a successful woman. He was a good father and provider to Lisa and Aaron and loved them both unconditionally. He helped them both throughout their lives, continuously and unselfishly.

Bob was a constant in a great many lives and he will forever be missed by his loving family and friends. Rest in happiness and peace our beloved friend and father, we will all join you someday and reunite for eternity.

There will be a celebration of his life which will be held in his large garage/shop at a future date that has not yet been determined. His friends and family are welcome to join us there for sharing their memories and experiences with Bob, a great friend.
