William Beeler Obituary

William “Willie” Owen Beeler, 73, passed away peacefully on November 21, 2025. A devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend, Willie was known for his integrity, kindness, and love for family.

He is survived by his loving wife of 55 years, Phyllis Beeler; his children, Matthew Beeler (wife Alexa) and Beila Reaser; his grandchildren, Ashley Whitmer and Emily Threlkel; his great-grandchildren, Hunter and Jackson; and Mason Kamp, whom he and Phyllis lovingly cared for. He is also survived by his mother, Katherine.

Willie proudly served his country as an Army veteran and later worked as an electrician. He and Phyllis opened their home to foster children, providing love and guidance that shaped many lives.

He enjoyed riding his motorcycle, spending time at the lake, and hunting and fishing with his best friend, Donnie. Above all, Willie cherished spending quality time with his wife, Phyllis. His generosity and sense of humor touched everyone who knew him. Willie will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
