Joseph Robert Beers;
Joe was taken suddenly while vacationing on February 10, 2026, in his 64th year, loving husband and best friend of Anne Beers (nee Clarke). Cherished father of Melissa Beers (Colin) and Brianna Beers (Steve). Sadly missed by his grandchildren Jackson, Hunter, Remi, Capri and Austin. Pre-deceased Mother Margaret Gillies (Clarence) and Father Bob Beers.
Dear brother of Mike Beers (Juanita), Sarah Topping (Tyler), Christina Beers and the late Anne Bontje (Greg). Lovingly remembered by his Father-in-law Gus Clarke and pre-deceased Mother-in-law Bridie, brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law Mike Clarke (Carol), Sheila Kearns (Jeff), Irene Mayer (Keith), Dave Kearns (Sue).
Forever in the hearts of his uncle Martin, Aunt Fay, his nephews Jason, Matthew (Mindy), Trevor (Carry), Logan, Cole, Aaden, Elliott, Jamie (Antoinette), Kyle and his nieces, Lissa (Peter), Caitlin, Ivy, Patricia (Shane), Jayme and pre-deceased Lindsay and Darci Beers as well as his many cousins, great-nieces and great-nephews.
Joe loved life and made the most of everyday. Family always came first, then his passion for fishing, golfing and playing games with his grandsons and all his friendships made over the years.
Joe’s passion for fishing and golfing was passed down to his daughters and grandsons and so many other children over the years. He loved watching their experiences as much as his own.
Joe spent his life making us laugh, such a special gift to give to everyone.

My heart goes out to you Anne and family.
It’s been many years since I saw Joe last. He had a great sense of humour and a smile that was so memorable. We spent many years in class together and hockey as well.
Anne Beers says
Thank you. Joe spoke about you often and your dad’s hardware store in town. Joe was so happy to see your son, Travis wear a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey. He loved his leafs and loved watching his grandson Jackson play hockey when he no longer could…too hard on the knees!
Amy Di Marino says
Dear Anne,
We are truly devastated to hear of your loss. Please know that you are held so deeply in our hearts.

With all our love.
Anne Beers says
Thank you Amy for your kind words. I’m looking forward to returning to my fitness class at the end of this month and seeing you and all the ladies. ❤️
Jocelyn Ardente says
My heart goes out to Anne, Melissa, Brianna, Jackson & Hunter. Joe was the best dad and grandpa. He will be deeply missed by all who met him. Thinking of you.
Anne Beers says
Thank you Jocelyn. I know he will be missed and it’s heartwarming to know he was loved by so many
Michele says
I am deeply saddened Anne, Melissa, Brianna, Jackson and Hunter. Anne my heart breaks for you and your family. Joe was always the happy jokester guy that loved life and his family to the fullest. Howard and I shared so many memories over the years. I was fortunate that Anne and Joe invited me to Barbados a couple of years ago, and it wasn’t the house that the chickens roamed in (haha). Joe said “if you come you can entertain Anne and I could fish more”. Joe was loved by so many. RIP Joe
Anne Beers says
Thank you Michele for sharing your thoughts. It’s hard to believe we have both lost our teenage sweethearts far too soon. ❤️
Heather says
We were deeply saddened to hear of Joe’s passing. Joe was someone who truly left a mark – his kindness, his laughter, and that contagious smile are things I’ll never forget.
He had a way of making people feel at ease and bringing joy into the moment. His memory will live on in all the stories and moments you carry with you.
Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this difficult time. Wishing you all strength, comfort, and peace in the days ahead.
Cheers Joe, thank you for being such an awesome person!!
Heather, Ryan and Brittany

We were very blessed to have the privilege of getting to know Joey and Anne while vacationing in Barbados, numerous years ago. He was full of joy and laughter- a love for life that was infectious to all that got to know him. Our sincerest sympathy to Anne and his family and friends. Gone too soon and will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Rest in Peace my friend.
Anne Beers says
Thank you Sandy and Peter for your kind words. The best times on the island were the friendships made from the beautiful people that live there. You are both so sweet and kind and of course Joe’s famous poster dancing up a storm at your anniversary party at Joan’s will forever be another cherished memory

Hi Dave and Star
So many memories and he always had great stories to share with me when he had his time away with you Dave and the rest of the “poker guy family” on golf trips. Such a great group of friends.

He always let me know you were asking about me and sending your regards
Miss you both
