Beekman – James V. Beyer, 78, passed away on January 23rd, 2022. He was born in the Bronx on August 18th, 1943, to William and Bernadette Beyer. On October 23rd, 1960, he married the love of his life, Dianne Beyer, at United Presbyterian Church in the Bronx.
James (Jim) was the owner and operator of Jim Beyer Plumbing and Heating, Inc for many years and took great pride in his work. Besides being a very hard worker, he loved to donate his time helping others, and he could frequently be found volunteering with the Dutchess County Sheriff’s Office. He loved hunting, cars, and being outdoors and was a big fan of Johnny Cash (and he loved telling the story about how he got to shake his hand!)
Jim had a true love and respect for community and was always eager to lend his hand to anyone in need. His family was his most precious possession, and they gave him the most joy, and in like he gave them their most joy.
James is survived by his beloved wife Dianne, his daughter Denise Heer (Martin), his grandchildren, Simone, Nicholas (Heather), and Mitchell Heer, as well as his great-grandchildren Shae and Brynn.
