James Elwyn Beschen Jr.

Sept. 19, 1942 – Sept. 14, 2015

James E. Beschen Jr, at the young age of 72, went home to be with the Lord on Sept. 14, 2015. Jim is survived by his wife of 52 years, Mary Jane Beschen (Foley) of O’Brien, Fla. and four children, 11 grandchildren; James E. Beschen III of Stuart, Fla. (Michele and daughters Sarah and Emily), Michael B. Beschen of Quinton, Va. (Angela and sons Josh and Kris), Daniel P. Beschen of Cooper City, Fla. (Debbie and daughters Lindsey, Lacey and Lauren), Colleen N. Beschen of Bell, Fla. (Jessi, children Thomas, Korey, Emory, and Richard).

Jim, the eldest of seven children from James and Doris Beschen (Sigmond), was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pa. After starting a family of his own while living in the area for several years, Jim moved his family to Florida in favor of the tropical climate and business opportunities. His love of South Florida allowed him to passionately pursue fishing, boating, camping in the Florida Keys, and nurturing beautiful and exotic flowering plants.

Later in life, Jim and Mary Jane (Gus) retired in the serenity of Suwannee County, Florida. It was here that Jim really enjoyed the outdoors, tending to his greenhouse plants, gardening, swimming, and spending time with visiting family.

Jim was a man who served God, his family, friends and country. He will be greatly missed but ever present in our hearts!

A “Celebration of Life” will be held at Living Springs Family Worship Center Oct. 3, 2015 at 2b p.m. located at 26471 State Rd, 247, Branford, FL 32008
