Celebrating the life of
James Robert "Rusty" Beasley, Jr.
Passed away on April 01, 2019
His love for his family was the focus of his life.
James Robert (Rusty) Beasley, Jr., 51, passed away Monday, April 1, 2019 at home surrounded by family and friends after a courageous battle with cancer.
James was born in Savannah, GA and attended school in both Effingham County and Chatham County. James was active in bowling leagues; he cheered on the local baseball teams and was a true fan of the Savannah Bananas. His love for his family was the focus of his life.
James leaves behind his parents, James (Jim) and Roberta Beasley and loving daughter, Candace N. Beasley, who he loved beyond measure. Also, Russell E. Dent, uncle, Teresa and William Ward, aunt and uncle, Neal Wiley, uncle, Vickie Wiley, aunt and a large, loving number of cousins and friends that completed his life.
A memorial service will be held Thursday, April 11, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. at Fox & Weeks Funeral Directors, Hodgson Chapel. The family will receive friends from 10:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. prior to the service.
Mr. and Mrs. Beasley and Candace, I am so sorry that I was unable to attend the Memorial Service for Rusty. I have very fond memories of Rusty and the Beasleys while growing up in Westwood Heights. I was also fortunate to run into Rusty on the Islands from time to time and catch up in each other's lives. May the good Lord wrap His loving arms around Rusty's family during this time of sorrow, and may He also bring them peace and comfort. Rest in Peace Rusty. You will be missed.
