Bradley Bruce Beech born on January 24, 1950 in Toronto, Ontario and passed away peacefully on Tuesday February 11, 2025, at the age of 75 with his loving wife and children at his side. He was a devoted father, grandfather, loving partner, and a cherished friend to many. His life was defined by his deep commitment to his family, his unwavering kindness, generosity, and the quiet strength that guided him through every adventure. Throughout his life, Brad was known for his generosity, work ethic, and passion for adventures. Whether he was exploring new countries, sailing, golfing, or spending time with his grandchildren, he enriched the lives of those around him and left a lasting impact on his family and friends.
He is survived by his wife of 51 years Mary Jean Beech, his children Abby, TJ, Jay, and Tina as well as his four amazing grandchildren Kaden, Cale, Landon, and Rayne. His memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who knew him, and his legacy of love and compassion will continue to inspire everyone whose lives he touched.
A memorial service will be held on Friday, February 14th from 3pm to 5pm at Egan Funeral Home, 203 Queen Street South (Hwy. 50), Bolton (905-857-2213) with a celebration of his life. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly suggests that donations be made in his memory to Alzheimer’s Society of Canada alzheimer.ca .
Though we mourn his passing, we also celebrate a life well-lived—a life filled with love, laughter, and the kind of quiet dignity that made him so special. May Brad rest in peace, and may his memory be a blessing to us all.

For me Brad was a true golf enthusiast. I do believe he and his golf buddies were the last to do a round at Legacy 2024 closing the course. I know as I watched from my window, not wanting to be outside myself due to the cold. He did have a beautiful swing.
Mame and family, our sincerest condolences. He was a blessed man to have such a loving and devoted wife, son, daughter, and of course the grandchildren.
Don Robb
Enjoyed his stories about sailing on Georgian Bay- more recently in his golf cart with the grandkids
A very quiet gentleman!

Jeff Beech and family. It was a bit of a shock when you called about Brad. Condolences to you and your family. There are so many memories from over the years. Birch Dale Lodge and Cabins on Georgian Bay Ossossane Beach in the 50’s and early 60’s. Family gatherings throughout the years. May long weekends fishing Pickerel River and staying at Whip or Will Lodge.
At your cottage in Campbellford. I remember when we were out sailing in his five seater sail boat and I and I think Don were leaning over the side as the boat keeled over with our feet in straps and Brian leaned over pulling the strap and we went over the side. Brad was laughing as he was at the till. They did come about and picked us up. Meeting Brad and Mame in their sailboat boat when they anchored in KillcouyBay at Killbear. We would take our boat out to meet them. He will be greatly missed but his memories will live on.

On behalf of the Legacy Pines Men’s Golf League, I would like to send our sincere condolences on the passing of Brad. He was a popular and generous member of the Men’s League, well liked by all. He was a quiet, soft spoken man, but his quick wit was envied and enjoyed by his fellow golfers. His presence will be missed this year, and I promise we will raise our glasses and toast him at the beginning of this season
Sincerely
Scott Stewart
