Obituary: Jamin P. Beardsley

Jamin Paul Beardsley, 49, passed away unexpectedly Monday, Nov. 11, 2024. Jamin was born in West Des Moines, Iowa to Jim and Karen Beardsley on July 16, 1975; he later moved to Brookston, Minnesota.

Jamin was always the life of the party. He loved to entertain, cook, and make everyone laugh. He enjoyed mixed martial arts, achieving his black belt; and also enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping, collecting silver and coins, and just being with his family and friends. We will all miss his smile and big heart.

Jamin was preceded in death by his father, Jim Beardsley.

Jamin is survived by his wife of 21 years, Amanda; children, Jaxon and Madison; mother, Karen Beardsley; siblings, Tracy (Andreas) Estrada, Brent (Jennifer) Beardsley, and Eran Beardsley; in-laws, Penny (Don) Sheldon and Jay (Toni) Pajuoja; brother-in-law, Jason Pajuoja; many nieces, nephews and countless friends and family; and his dogs, Loki and Odin.
