Andy Beamish, 50

Andrew Kenneth Allen “Andy” Beamish, age 50, of Green Bay, Wisconsin and a former resident of Sturgis, passed away Wednesday, December 9, 2020 at his home.
He was born November 13, 1970 in Battle Creek, son Roger A. and Jane (Woods) Beamish.
Andy had resided in Green Bay for the past 4 years coming from Newark, New York to pursue his lifelong dream of owning and operating his own bowling center. His early life was spent in Sturgis where he was a graduate of Sturgis High School with the class of 1989.
Andy was currently in the process of purchasing his own bowling center that would be named Uncle A’s Luxemburg Bowl.
Being a Beamish he inherited the passion for the sport of bowling. He also enjoyed time spent on the water especially while boating. Andy had a gift for anything mechanical. He could build nearly anything with no plans or instructions needed. Andy had many hobbies and interests and always had the next great idea but what he truly loved was time with his family, friends and especially his daughter.
