Adam Jeffrey Beatty late of Lang, SK, passed away on January 2, 2015 at the age of 30 years. Adam Jeffery Beatty was born on Easter Sunday, April 20, 1984 in Estevan, Saskatchewan to proud parents, Tim and Brenda Beatty. Adam was the middle son of three boys and brother to Sheldon and Riley.
In his younger years, Adam enjoyed spending countless hours out at Grandpa Bob鈥檚 farm at Kenosee where he would play with the many different farm animals, playing in the trees, building things, and just hanging out with Grandpa. At the end of the day, everyone would go back to Grandma鈥檚 for more special times with both Grandma and Grandpa.
Adam enjoyed fishing, golfing, and snowmobiling, but his biggest passion was hockey and he never missed an opportunity to show his enthusiasm and tease his brothers and father-in-law about their choices as favorites. He loved to play the game as he grew up and continued to play after his minor hockey days were over and enjoyed the camaraderie of teammates that came with it. To his day, they were still some of his life-long friends. After high school, Adam ventured off to carve out this future which started with some schooling at SIAST in Moose Jaw where met this next passion in life, his wife Sherry. The two seemed to become one and in every sense of the words became 鈥減erfect soul-mates鈥�. They were wed on Aug. 14, 2010.
Adam was diagnosed with a condition called Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis, a disease that hardens and narrows the bile ducts which causes the liver to fail. This required a liver transplant be performed in Edmonton. Complications set in shortly after his first surgery and Adam was required to have the procedure repeated 1 year later. He viewed himself as very fortunate to have been given this greatest gift not only once, but twice, which steered him in the direction of his next passion which was to spread the word about the gift of organ donation. Through all of his life struggles, there was still one thing missing and that void was filled on Sept. 5, 2014 when Adam and Sherry became proud parents of twins, Liam and Sophia, and another passion was ignited. Caring, giving, courageous, loving and passionate are only a few words that can describe the man that Adam became to be. He will forever be missed and always in our hearts.
Adam was predeceased by his grandparents John and Edna Slykhuis; uncle George Slykhuis; aunts: Diane Merriam, Sharon Geysen, Betty Tonnilier.
Adam is survived by his loving wife Sherry; children: Liam and Sophia; devoted cuddler and beloved pet Beary. His parents: Brenda (Allan) Slykhuis, Tim Beatty (Cathi); grandparents: Bob and Betty Beatty; Sherry鈥檚 grandparents: Alvin and Mary Teske; Ilene Thauberger; parents-in-law: Kevin (Sharon) Teske, brothers: Sheldon (Reni) Beatty, children Taylor and Carter; Riley (Laura) Beatty and daughter Anna, sister-in-law; Ashley (Quinn) Rollins; brothers-in-law: Kelvin Teske, Katlin (Alexandra) Teske, children Knox, Annalee and Kabela.
In October 2010 and October 2011, two unsung heroes passed away. Our condolences and sincerest gratitude to those people whose names we鈥檒l never know, faces we鈥檒l never see and family/friends we did not grieve with. Each of those souls gave us the greatest gift of all . . . the gift of four extra years with Adam. Prior to his first transplant, Adam married his soul mate Sherry. Four months ago, Adam鈥檚 dream of becoming a Dad became reality with the births of Liam and Sophia. Life - it鈥檚 in you to give takes on a whole new meaning when someone you love depends on the ultimate gift from another human 小蓝视频. In Adam鈥檚 memory, we would like to ask family and friends to consider signing your donor card and ensure your loved ones are aware of your wishes. This would truly be the greatest gift to honour Adam.
