Leonard Eugene Beeson, the son of Robert and Helen (Kinnon) Beeson, was born June 2, 1960 in Norfolk, NB.  Leonard was a devoted father, loving husband, and caring brother.  He had no problem of showing those around him how much he loved them.  He was raised in the state of Nebraska where he would get into trouble with his cousins and siblings.  He grew to be an excellent cook, whose food was loved by many.  He also fostered and adopted many children who had grown to love his quiet, but stern voice.  He found true love when he met his partner, Rocky, whom he loved deeply.  He will be missed greatly by those who knew him.

He is survived by his husband, Rocky Burchill, his kids, Alyssa (Garrett) Berg, Mykel Beeson, David Beeson, John Beeson, and Devin Beeson-Burchill, his step kids, Kim, Kevin, Kelly, Kenny Gray, and Kasey Gray-Lawler, his siblings, Tammy (Dave) Anderson, Fred (Jolene) Beeson, and Marian (David) Davis, and his many cousins, nephews, nieces, past foster kids, and grandkids all of whom he loved so much.

He is preceded in death by his parents Bob and Helen Beeson, his grandparents, his aunt Mary Kinnan, and his cousins George Larman and Kathy Kinnan.
