Bruce Edward BEEBE
November 28, 1955 – October 3, 2018
Bruce Edward Beebe was born November 28, 1955 to Calvin and Nettie Beebe in Biggar, Sask. He passed away on October 3, 2018 in Edmonton, Alberta at the age of 62 years.
He received all his education in Biggar, and graduated from Biggar Composite High School in 1973. As a child, he was active in Air Cadets, hockey and lacrosse. He took a very active part in hunting and fishing. You could always count on him to come home every Christmas making his first stop at Darryl and Laura’s. He always had many stories to tell and sometimes if you were lucky enough, you got to hear them more than once!
If you’ve spent time with Bruce — you’ve heard these boisterous words… « Heh kids, get out of that jello tree »; or you’ve heard Johnny Cash blaring from his truck, so loud that the deaf could hear!
All knew Bruce as easy going. Always had a story to tell. Loved to laugh at his own stories! Super friendly and could talk to anyone! Never short of words. Unforgettable presence. Unforgettable laugh.
Bruce loved dogs, all dogs. His best buddy was Cody, his faithful and beloved black lab/retriever cross. They were inseparable. Countless stories of Cody travelling through the City of Edmonton to reunite with Bruce. Best dog ever!
Bruce loved his fishing (with his buddy Bob) and could sit in a boat all day and into the evening. Many memories over 20 plus years camping and fishing with the Hoppes at Slave Lake, Alberta. Fishing, fresh fish for supper, campfires, and yes — Johnny Cash in the morning — years of memories.
Bruce also loved to hunt. He always spent the month of November with the Hoppes, hunting by day, and heartily eating home cooked meals at night! So many hunting memories, but there’s one story that stands out. Bruce always hunted with Bob, and eventually with Bob’s sons when they were old enough. Bob’s son, Colin, would often sit with him when Colin was learning to hunt.
Bruce would sit on his padded five gallon pail, and then he would let one rip! So loud, that you could hear it in the next county!!! and then he would say to Colin, « just calling them in Collie ». And then he’d sit back on his padded five gallon pail, and light a cigarette. Always, about one or two minutes later, a deer would walk out! And then he’s say, « That’s how we do it! » Colin just about started smoking cause he thought that’s how you shot deer!
Bruce was a good guy to be around. He loved playing crib and had outstanding luck! Everybody’s got at least a dozen stories, memories that will never fade. Bruce will always have a special place in our memories and will be missed.
Bruce is survived by his mother, Nettie of Biggar, Sask.; sister, Sylvia (Keith) Lonsdale; brother, Bob Beebe; sister, Laura (Darryl) Smith; sister, Donna (Murray) Byrt; Dennis (Madeleine) Beebe; Murray Beebe: Clark (Blanche) Beebe; Myrna (Mike) Bhat; nieces, nephews and extended family.
He was predeceased by his father, Calvin; and nephew, Cote.
