Jeffery Forrest Beere, 59, born November 15, 1966, in Windham, Connecticut arrived in his eternal home on December 14, 2025. He was the beloved husband of Tammy J. Beere.
Jeff, as he was affectionately known, was a curious lifelong learner, lover of good humor and fun with family and friends, and as a peaceful fisherman. His journey on this earth was one marked by joy, gratitude, kindness, love and faith in God. His unexpected passing has left a void in the hearts of his family, friends and many more whose lives he touched. We ask that you remember him for his well-lived life and the positive influence he had on those who knew him.
He is survived by his wife, Tammy J. Beere (Layman), his brother, Jay Beere, and sister-in-law, Karen Beere as well as his stepdaughter Crystal Cyr (Brady), and three grandchildren, Issaiah Brady, Lilly Brady, and Nolan Cyr. He is also survived by his niece, Tara Clark (Beere), and nephew, Ryan Beere. He is preceded in death by his mother, Shirley Elva Gallagher (Bowser) and father, James (Jim) Gallagher, and his brother James (Jimmy) Beere, and Stepson Richard Brady.
After high school, Jeff completed his Journeyman Millwright Certification Card through United Brotherhood of Carpenters Joiners of America. He was dedicated to his work as a welder and millwright. In his younger years, Jeff enjoyed participating in motorcross sports, riding rollercoasters, fishing, weightlifting and was even known to participate in the Blueberry Festival arm wrestling competition each year, and occasionally win.
Later, he met and married Tammy Beere (Layman). They were wed at Blissville Church of the Brethren, in Plymouth, Indiana on September 1t, 2001. Together, they enjoyed raising two children, starting their dream business-Fabitwelding Machine and Equipment, traveling, fishing, going to auctions, spending time with family, visiting national parks and spending time in nature. Jeff was an incredible partner and supportive family member. Those who knew Jeff will remember him for his great love of nature, laughter, humor, fun and family. Throughout his life Jeff developed a close relationship with God through studying the Bible and consistent dedication to his faith through prayer. His faith, friendship and close ties to family will stand as a living memorial of the beautiful impact he had on others throughout his life.
