William Beran Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Hansen Desert Hills Mortuary and Cemetery - Scottsdale on Mar. 18, 2026.
William Joseph Beran

May 11, 1945 – March 12, 2026

William Joseph "Bill" Beran, 80, passed away peacefully on March 12, 2026. He was born on May 11, 1945, in Bucyrus, Ohio.

In 1952, Bill moved with his family to Arizona, where he was raised and completed his schooling in Scottsdale. He was the beloved brother of Thomas Beran and Carol Rosand.

Bill attended one year of junior college before beginning his career in business. He went on to found Paradise Village Interiors and later PV Contractors, building a respected legacy through his hard work and dedication.

In 1968, Bill married the love of his life, Betty. Together they built a strong and loving family, raising three children: Amy Beran Gallagher, Jeffrey Joseph Beran, and William Michael Beran. Bill was also a proud grandfather to eight grandchildren, who brought him immense joy.

Bill honorably served his country in the United States Army and later continued his service with the National Guard based in Phoenix.

Known for his remarkable sense of humor, steady perspective, and deep faith, Bill was a genuine and God-loving man who touched the lives of many. His warmth, wisdom, and ability to uplift others will be deeply missed.

Bill is survived by his loving wife, Betty; his three children; his eight grandchildren; and his siblings.

A memorial service will be held on Monday, March 23, at 12:30 p.m. at Scottsdale Bible Church Chapel. A Celebration of Life will follow on May 3 in Scottsdale. Family and friends are warmly invited to attend and celebrate Bill's life.
