Obituary of Jarod Beecroft
BEECROFT: Jarod Andrew -
It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Jarod Andrew Beecroft of Blenheim, Ontario on October 23, 2024 due to complications from pneumonia. Jarod was born on January 2, 1968 and died at the age of 56.
Jarod was the beloved father of Devlynn Beecroft (Justin) and lifelong friend of Barb Beecroft (Bryden).
Jarod was predeceased by his loving mother, Kathy Rankin (Sheeler). He was the son of Theren Beecroft (Sue-Anne). He was brother to James (Cathy-Ann) and Jessica (Jeff). He was the loving nephew of Con and George Lucio, Bruce and Brenda Sheeler, Marty Sheeler, and David Beecroft. He was uncle to Heather, Kristen, Erin, Jakob and Jacey, and great uncle to several.
Jarod had a passion for all sports, and played baseball in Chatham for many years. We would like to thank the ICU staff at CKHA. Dr. Federman, the Nursing Staff, and the Respiratory Therapists all provided exceptional care for Jarod, and the family.
Cremation has taken place and a celebration of life will take place in the future.
Donations made in memory of Jarod to the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated by the family.
