James "Jim" C. Beer

Jim C. Beer

December 19, 1951 – March 10, 2025

James (Jim) C. Beer passed away on March 10th, 2025, at Pincher Creek Hospital. We say goodbye to our dear Husband, Dad, Brother, Uncle, and Grandpa B with heavy hearts.

Jim was born to Cecil & Audrey Beer on December 19th, 1951, in Pincher Creek, Alberta. He was the middle child of seven, with three older and three younger sisters. Jim drove graders for the MD and Town of Pincher Creek for many years, but owning and operating Hawkeye Stables for 27 years was the joy of his life. He and his wife, Celeste, built Hawkeye Stables into a success and, through it, met so many people, made so many friends, and created countless stories and memories. Those who knew Jim knew that every one of his scars came with a somewhat unbelievable story. If you knew Jim, you have your own story, a chuckle, and likely a scar!

Jim's greatest pride and joy were his two children, Ken and Kristine. His profound love for his children was unconditional and unwavering to the end and beyond.

Jim is survived by his loving wife, Celeste; his son, Ken (Shannon) Beer; his stepsons, Daniel and TJ (Alisha) Oreel. Grandchildren; Latoya, Jacy, Kylie, Ava and Rylan. Jim is also lovingly remembered by his sisters and their spouses; Betty (Larry) Hildreth, Wendy (Jerry) Muelaner, and Marj (Mike) Davis. Jim will be forever missed by many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

He was predeceased by his parents; Cecil (1996) and Audrey (2020), daughter Kristine (2018), and sisters; Gail (2015), Linda (2018), and Carol (2024).

The days will be long until we meet again.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
