Brian D. Beard

Brian D. Beard, age 57, lost his courageous battle with cancer on July 19, 2023. He was surrounded by his loving family and his dogs Brutus & Buckeye. He was a great man who was loved by all. Brian was born on January 4, 1966 in Youngstown, Ohio and was a 1984 graduate of Louisville high school.

Brian’s family was his everything. He married his high school sweetheart in 2012. He loved traveling and spending time with his wife Terri on the beach. He also loved to watch his grandkids play softball and football. Brian was an avid Ohio State Buckeyes fan.

If not enjoying a game, he enjoyed the outdoors, taking walks every day, going hiking at state parks, and boating. He also had a love for all animals, birds, goats, and turtles were his favorite and he spent many days throughout the year enjoying the animals at the zoo.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Dean “Fritz” and Sandra (McAllister) Beard.

Brian leaves behind his loving wife, Terri (Hathaway) Beard; children Anjellica (Matt) Almond, Cassi Beard, Katelyn (Aaron) Dugan, Trevor Taylor and Tealee Taylor; grandchildren Payton, Aubrey and Caden.

At Brian’s request, no memorial will be held. We ask that friends and loved ones enjoy an outdoor activity in his honor.

GO BUCKS!
