Ed Beasley
Ed Beasley died peacefully at his home in Wilsonville, AL, on March 17th, with his faithful wife Lisa by his side. Ed was 58 and had bravely battled cancer. He is survived by his parents, Sandi and Danny Varner of Deatsville, AL; wife of 12 years, Lisa JoAnn Beasley, of Wilsonville, AL; son, Jessie Roy Beasley of Deatsville, AL, Brian Alan Finley (Haley) of Jemison, AL, and Elizabeth Ann Davis (Paul) of Candler, NC, four sisters, Kristy Varner, Anita Horsley (Neil), Terry Johnson (Andy), and Lynn DeVaughn (Barry), and was survived by many other extended family members. He was preceded in death by his dad, Jesse Roy “Buster” Beasley. Ed graduated from Marbury High School in 1983 and joined the US Army, serving in Germany, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq. After his military service, he was a 20-year employee at Omega Steel in Jemison. Ed was passionate about gathering with family and friends, cooking and grilling, and taking beach trips with his beloved Lisa. Ed loved the outdoors and enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping, and life on the lake. His military experience brought out his role as a protector and lover of his history and his Country. Ed was a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, valued prayer, and led his family closer to God. His family and friends will deeply miss him.
A memorial service is scheduled for 2:00 pm, March 24th, at Union Grove Baptist Church in Jemison. Rev. Jeffrey White and Pastor Kenneth Wren will officiate the service. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Ed’s life. The family would like to thank Shelby Baptist Hospital and Alabama Oncology for their untiring efforts. Lisa would also like to thank her neighbor and friend, Cat Smith Walker (Jim), for her faithfulness and ongoing care, and Charlotte Sanders (Tim) for their support.
A true man of God. Brave veteran and protector of the country he loved. Forever a brother, loved by so many friends. Will see you again big guy, in the presence of our Lord and Savior. Love to all the family.
What a Happy life we shared. Full of Love. ♥

Until Valhalla.
