Michael Andrew Beebe, age 51, of Clyde Park, Mt., passed away unexpectedly Sunday, April 22, 2012. Mike was born January 5, 1961 in Burlington, Vermont, the son of Katharine and William Beebe. Mike and his family moved to Scituate, Massachusetts where he was raised and educated. He moved to Bozeman in 1979 to attend MSU, graduating in Agricultural Education. Michael and Nancy (Culver) Beebe were married July 8, 1989 in Bozeman. They were blessed with their beautiful son, Fergus, in November 1995 and have shared their lives together in Clyde Park since 1999. Mike was our best friend, father, husband, son, brother, uncle; our walking encyclopedia. He was somebody very important to so many people. Mike played many roles and was able to do anything. He worked with horses as a boy and chose a career where he could be involved with horses in an agricultural setting. Mike was currently employed as a ranch manager in the Crazy Mountains but was so much more; an inventor, artist, master leather craftsman, musician, skier, sailor and our Griddle King. He was always our teacher, peacemaker and voice of reason. In the short amount of time Mike was with us he lived each day to the fullest. He learned at a young age to never take life for granted and everyday Mike worked to make an improvement in his or someone else’s life. Mike is survived by his beloved wife, Nancy, his cherished son, Fergus, his loving parents Kay and Bill Beebe. He also leaves behind his brother, Chris and his wife Sharon Fuller, nephew Max Beebe, niece Ava Beebe and numerous Culver sisters, brothers, nephews and nieces, all of whom loved him dearly.
