Kenneth I. Beebe

A lifelong Jamestown resident, he was born Aug. 6, 1948, a son of the late Derwood and Marilyn Carlson Beebe.

He was a 1966 graduate of Southwestern Central School and was a Vietnam War veteran of the US Army serving from 1969-70.

Prior to his retirement, he was employed by Cummins Jamestown Engine Plant as a machine repairman. He earlier had worked for Chautauqua Hardware.

He was a member of Herman Kent Post 777 American Legion, Carroll Rod and Gun Club, and the National Rifle Association.

Ken loved being outdoors whether it be hunting, fishing, boating or golfing. His proudest achievement was the restoration he and his son completed on a 1923 Ford Model T truck.

Surviving is his wife, Roxann Giordiano, whom he married November 22, 1969; two sons, Jason (Heather) Beebe and Matthew (Jennifer) Beebe both of Jamestown; four grandchildren, Sara, Skylar, Lukas and Nathan Beebe; a great-granddaughter, Aaliyah Beebe; and siblings, Patricia Page of Lakewood, Michael Beebe of Jamestown, Barbara (Paul) Evanczik of Lakewood and Thomas (Rachel) Beebe of Florida.

Besides his parents, he was preceded in death by brothers, Wayne and John Beebe and sister, Mary Beth Muoio.

In keeping with Ken’s wishes, no funeral service or visitation will be observed.

Memorials may be made to Chautauqua Hospice and Palliative Care or Chautauqua County Humane Society.
