William Joseph Bean, Jr.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of William (Bill) Bean Jr after battling cancer for the last six months. On Monday, December 10th, 2018 at the age 51 Bill passed away peacefully in his home surrounded by his wife (Dawn) and his daughters (Erin and Emily.)

Bill will be lovingly remembered by his wife Dawn, his children Erin and Emily, and his parents William and Martha Bean. Bill will also be fondly remembered by his two grandchildren Sol and Lea, by his brothers Jason (Kim), and Chris (Debbie), 2 nephews and 3 nieces, as well as a stepdaughter (Megan) and stepson (Jackson) and countless friends.

He worked as a consultant for Deep Ripples Marketing Agency since 2008, which he excelled at because he thought something could always be done in a better way. Throughout his life he was a jack of all trades, one of the highlights of his career was playing in the US Army Band. He was a diehard Kentucky Wildcat fan and a devoted Libertarian. He also considered himself a bourbon, beer, and cigar connoisseur.

We were blessed to learn many valuable lessons from Bill in his 51 years such as, how to load the dishwasher properly, the correct temperature for coffee – (the kettle was always set to 205,) the correct glasses in which to drink the correct beers from, he literally hated people saying the word literally, slow down – scroll down, he was also a disturbingly loyal friend. He was right most of the time in almost every situation to the chagrin of his family and friends.

He will continue to be loved, admired, and missed by almost everyone he knew.
