RAYMOND BRIAN BEAUCHAMP (aka BIG BEAU and KEE-JANCH) January 17, 1964 - January 12, 2018 It is with heavy hearts, the family announce the peaceful passing of Ray Beauchamp on Friday, January 12, 2018 at the Riverview Health Centre at the age of 53. Ray was predeceased by his father Raymond Stanley Beauchamp; maternal grandparents, Roger and Mary McKay, and fraternal grandparents, Harry and Martha Beauchamp. He will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by his wife Bibs; their children, Creed, Hailee (T.J.) and daughter Nadine (Richard) Thorvardson; four grandchildren, Kaleb, Learyk, Jerzee and Hadyn; his mother Flora; sisters, Joanne (Kevin) Clowes, Karen (Derrick) Pangman; brother Joe (Laurie) Thompson; brothers-in-law, Cal (Pearl) McKay, and Ron (Brenda) McKay; nieces and nephews, Stacey (Gerry), Maurice (Nikki), Jamie (Alyssa), Niki, Jake, Chris and Chad; numerous great-nieces and nephews, Aubrey, Seth, Courtney (Penote), Baby Chase, Logan, Avrie, River, and baby Rowan on the way, Noah, Chase, Holden, and many more family and friends. Raymond will always be remembered as a dedicated, kind, hard-working, genuine, big hearted warrior. A loving husband, father, son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin and friend. Among many things, Raymond was a self-taught musician and singer who would entertain his loved ones on the guitar for hours; a talented chef, trained in Culinary Arts at the Manitoba Institute of Trades and Technology, and a master of the grill that loved to feed his family; a self-employed carpenter, who could build a home all on his own; and an avid golfer, who could compete with the best. His legacy will live on within his family, because they were everything to him and he made sure we all knew it. The family would like to extend their appreciation and gratitude to the staff of CancerCare Foundation of Manitoba, Dr. Tyler Warden of the St. Boniface Clinic, Palliative Nurses, Anita and Lori, and also a huge thank you to the Ma Mawi Wi Chi Itata Centre for their kindness, and compassionate care during this difficult time.
