Thibeau  Beatty 

Of Cobden Ontario, succumbed to his long battle with melanoma cancer on Friday September 8th 2017, the day of his 67th birthday, just minutes after his 3 children and grandson blew out his birthday candles.  Beatty was surrounded by his family and Renfrew Hospice staff.  He passed as he lived, on his own terms, fighting to hold on until he could no longer, and then waiting for most of the crowd to disperse from his room before taking his final breaths.  A peace and comfort he had not known in a long time was with him that morning.  Beatty is survived by his 3 children, Jordan of Pembroke, Jared (Vera) of Burlington, and Celeste of Pembroke; loving grandfather to Evan Willis Thibeau, and dear friend to his son Jordan’s godson Logan Mathieu.  Beatty is also survived by his brother Mervyn (Shirley) of Marmora, and his 3 nieces, Robyn Ferguson, Michelle Clarkson, and Tari Thibeau.  Beatty is predeceased by his parents Forrest & Hilda, and his sister Marilyn Hollywood (Ray). Beatty will be remembered for his many passions; amongst them: tennis, curling, fishing, motorcycling, Budweiser beer , and dancing' Some where behind the pearly gates right now, he's giving a Texas 2-step lesson and chatting up a pretty lady, if thats considered acceptable there; and even if its not he's doing it annyway . Beatty has donated his body to the University of Ottawa Anatomy Division for medical research purposes, after which cremation will take place.  Beatty’s Celebration of Life will take place Friday September 29th 2017 at 11:00 a.m. at Zion Evangelical United Church, 368 Miller Street in Pembroke.  In Beatty’s memory, donations to the Renfrew Hospice (459 Albert Street, Renfrew, ON, K7V 1V8,  www.hospicerenfrew.ca/) would be greatly appreciated
