If Michael “Beagle” “Mike B” Wayne Beaghley wasn’t slapping bass, taking photographs and making them brilliant, or creating a handmade craft worthy of a Viking god, he was spending time with his wife and kids, either hiking, just talking and telling bad “dad” jokes, going on family drives, watching movies, or hanging out on the porch watching the kids play in the backyard. Mike could not only kick butt if need be, but was a sweet, sensitive individual that brought patience and compassion to the table.
Unfortunately, the universe had other plans for him, and a genetic heart failure took him down before he got out of his 40s. He was able to withstand many tribulations sent his way, but ultimately it was his heart, that he loved with so much, that gave out on him.
Michael leaves behind his wife of 14 years / best friend of 17 years, Kathy L. Beaghley; his children, Patrick G. Beaghley (son), Aden S. Cheney (son), Luna W. Beaghley (daughter), Polly Jean F. Beaghley (daughter), and Vicki (daughter); plus his two grandchildren Ryder and Elena of York, Pa. He leaves behind his parents; David W. Beaghley (dad), Linda K. Horchler (mom), and Terry Horchler (stepfather); his brother Phillip R. Horchler; his in-laws: Terry and Merry Loman (father-n law and step-MiL), Diane Loman (mother-in-law), Kim Loman (sister-in-law); Lisa Davis (cousin), plus more cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, extended Choctaw family, and friends.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Gilbert and Dorothy Keller Nearhoof and Donald and June Delker Kitchen.
A celebration of Michael’s life will be scheduled at a later date.
Cremation services under the direction of Brown’s Durant Funeral Service and Cremation Services.
