Thomas F. Beales
April 6, 1953 -
March 26, 2016

Thomas F. Beales, age 62 of Kenosha, died peacefully at his residence on Saturday, March 26, 2016, with his loving family by his side.
He was born in Kenosha on April 6, 1953 and was the son of the late Lawrence and Jean (Scholey) Beales. He attended local schools and was a graduate of George N. Tremper High School. After high school, he continued his education by taking several courses in Auto Body and Auto Mechanics at Gateway Technical College.
On October 4, 1975 in Kenosha, he was united in marriage to the love of his life, Debra S. Stebbins, at St. Mark the Evangelist Catholic Church.
Tom tried his hand at many Kenosha area manufacturing plants before establishing a career as a sales professional. His sales career included employment with Snap-On Tools, Matco, Home Juice Company and with various automobile dealerships.
Tom loved connecting with people. He would go out of his way to strike up a conversation with those he knew regardless of how long it had been since he last saw them, whether it be 10 minutes, 10 days or 10 years.
He had a big passion for all types of cars. Tom especially liked models from the 1950s and 1960s and enjoyed listening to music from that same era. Most recently, he also became a country music fan. Tom’s favorite pastime was vacationing. He especially enjoyed house boating and trips to Mexico and Punta Cana. Above all, he loved the time he spent walking the sand beaches of the Caribbean with his wife, Debbie, at his side.
Tom’s life became complete when he became a Papa. He was the best Papa ever to his beautiful grandchildren. When the little ones were around, Tom could always be found on the floor playing with them or chasing them around the house.
He is survived by his loving wife of 40 years, Debbie Beales; his two daughters, Lisa (Ryan) Smith and Kristi Beales; his three grandchildren, Macie, Ellie and Beckett; two brothers, Robert (Sharon) and John (Karen) Beales; his sister, Laurie (Dr. Michael) Walsh and his sister-in-law, Debra J. Beales; and many loving nieces and nephews.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a brother, Michael A. Beales.
