He is survived by siblings (Sr.) Barbara Beesley, IHM, Tom (Gloria) and Gary Beesley. Sons Don Jr., Mike (Kelly) and Jim (Christine). Beloved grandfather to Kyla, Angelika, Madison, Alexis, Kara and Winslow.

Don was a great family man and friend, warm and witty, and an avid reader. He taught in Dearborn public schools: Lowrey School, Fordson High School, and Henry Ford Community College from which he retired after decades of service.

A private gathering will commemorate his life after the holidays. Don Beesley, brother, cousin, father, grandfather, friend--we will remember you.
