Born in North Dakota on April 23, 1955, Gary Lee Beauchamp, 63, entered into rest on October 30, 2018 in Stockton, CA. He grew up in the Grand Forks, North Dakota area, moved to the Fremont area after high school, and was a resident of Manteca, California for over 34 years.

   Gary is survived by his wife of 32 years, Marlene Beauchamp, children, Brannon Beauchamp (wife Cindy) Alicia Zabala and Fonz Zabala. He was blessed by seven grandchildren, Andrew Beauchamp, Jazmine Lopez, Jordan Lopez, Julian Lopez, Justin Javelet, Lanz Zabala and Serenity Zabala. In addition, Gary is survived by his five siblings, Darryl Beauchamp, Tom Beauchamp, Roger Beauchamp, Marge Norman, Jody Beauchamp.

  Gary worked as a painter in the powder coating industry, and established a business in Fremont, California, GB Industrial Spray Inc., in 1986. In 1992, he moved the business to Manteca, California. He was a member of The Manteca Moose Lodge where he took delight in socializing with friends over a cold beer. Gary was a content man who enjoyed a challenging game of poker, shooting pool, bowling and fishing. He loved to watch sports where he was a huge fan of golf and NASCAR but was a bigger fan of the Minnesota Vikings. When at home Gary could be found in the kitchen cooking for family or just relaxing with his dog Max and his cats. Gary will be remembered for his outgoing personality, his zest for life and his unconditional love he displayed towards others. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
