Adam Jeffery Beatty聽
聽聽 Adam Jeffery Beatty late of Lang, SK, passed away on January
2, 2015 at the age of 30 years. 聽 Adam Jeffery Beatty was born on
Easter Sunday, April 20, 1984 in Estevan Saskatchewan to proud
parents, Tim and Brenda Beatty. Adam was the middle son of
three boys and brother to Sheldon and Riley.聽
聽聽 In his younger years, Adam enjoyed spending countless hours
out at Grandpa Bob鈥檚 farm at Kenosee where he would play with
the many different farm animals, playing in the trees, building
things, and just hanging out with Grandpa. At the end of the day ,
everyone would go back to Grandma鈥檚 for more special times with
both Grandma and Grandpa.
聽 聽 Adam enjoyed fishing, golfing, and snowmobiling, but his
biggest passion was hockey and he never missed an opportunity
to show his enthusiasm and tease his brothers and father-in law
about their choices as favorites. He loved to play the game as he
grew up and continued to play after his minor hockey days were
over and enjoyed the camaraderie聽 of teammates that came with
it. To this day, they were still some of his life-long friends.After
high school, Adam ventured off to carve out his future which started with some schooling at Siast
in Moose Jaw where he met his next passion in life, his wife Sherry. The two seemed to become
one and in every sense of the words became 鈥減erfect soul-mates鈥�. They were wed on Aug. 14,
2010.
聽聽 Adam was diagnosed with a condition called Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis, a disease that
hardens and narrows the bile ducts which causes the liver to fail. This required a liver transplant
be performed in Edmonton. Complications set in shortly after his first surgery and Adam was re-
quired to have the procedure repeated 1 year later . He viewed himself as very fortunate to have
been given this greatest gift not only once, but twice, which steered him in the direction of his next
passion which was to spread the word about the gift of organ donation. Through all of his life strug-
gles, there was still one thing missing and that void was filled on Sept. 5, 2014 when Adam and
Sherry became proud parents of twins Liam and Sophia and another passion was ignited. Caring,
giving, courageous, loving and passionate are only a few words that can describe the man that
Adam became to be. He will forever be missed and always in our hearts.
聽聽 Adam was predeceased by his grandparents John and Edna Slykhuis; uncle George Slykhuis;
aunts: Diane Merriam, Sharon Geysen, Betty Tonnilier.聽
聽聽 Adam is survived by his loving wife: Sherry; children: Liam and Sophia; devoted cuddler and be-
loved pet Beary. His parents: Brenda (Allan) Slykhuis, Tim Beatty (Cathi); grandparents: Bob and
Betty Beatty; Sherry鈥檚 grandparents: Alvin and Mary Teske; Ilene Thauberger; parents-in-law: Ke-
vin (Sharon) Teske, brothers: Sheldon (Reni) Beatty, children Taylor and Carter; Riley (Laura)
Beatty and daughter Anna, sister-in-law; Ashley (Quinn) Rollins; brothers-in-law: Kelvin Teske,
Katlin (Alexandra) Teske, children Knox, Annalee, and Kabela.
聽聽 In October 2010 and October 2011, two unsung heroes passed away.聽 Our condolences and sin-
cerest gratitude to those people whose names we鈥檒l never know, faces we鈥檒l never see and fami-
ly/friends we did not grieve with.聽 Each of those souls gave us the greatest gift of all...the gift of
four extra years with Adam.聽 Prior to his first transplant, Adam married his soul mate Sherry.聽 Four
months ago, Adam鈥檚 dream of becoming a Dad became reality with the births of Liam and Sophia.聽
Life-it鈥檚 in you to give takes on a whole new meaning when someone you love depends on the
ultimate gift from another human being.聽 In Adam鈥檚 memory, we would like to ask family and
friends to consider signing your donor card and ensure your loved ones are aware of your wishes.聽
This would truly be the greatest gift to honour Adam.聽
