Raymond "Ray" Michael Beauchamp
June 6, 1957 — December 18, 2025
Pigeon, Michigan
Raymond “Ray” Michael Beauchamp, 68, of Pigeon passed away on Thursday, December 18, 2025, at Toni and Trish House in Auburn, Michigan. Ray was born on June 6, 1957, to the late Ernest and Olive (Lange) Beauchamp in Pontiac and was a 1976 graduate of Avondale High School. After graduating, Ray enlisted in the United States Army and proudly served his country until his honorable discharge in 1980. He spent the majority of his years working with bricks and masonry as a laborer with Masonry Developers until his retirement in 2010. Ray met his future wife Barbara “Barb” Davis while he was teaching her daughter Karate, and the couple would marry September 2, 2011. She survives him.
In his free time, Ray loved cruising around the Thumb on his motorcycle and spending time on the water, especially fishing. He was always listening to music and enjoyed anything that would make his toe tap. Ray was also a great Dart player. He is remembered as being the sweetest and most genuine human being you could ever meet who always had a smile on his face and a joke in his heart. Ray loved sweets, constantly stealing candy from his family and friends, and he kept the company of many dogs throughout the years. He was a strong man with a kind soul who would give you the shirt off his back if needed and he will be greatly missed by those whose lives he touched throughout the years.
Ray is survived by his loving wife, Barb Beauchamp; former wife, Sheryl Rodriguez; children, Michael (Jamie) Beauchamp, David (Mandy) Grimsby, Victoria Husic, and Josephine Nordby; grandchildren, Noah (Cecelia) Beauchamp, Morgan Beauchamp, Lincoln King, Dominic Agudo, Theodore Agudo, and Maddox Husic-Agudo; great grandchildren, Layton Beauchamp and Liam Beauchamp; and siblings Robert Beauchamp, Elaine (Dick) Carter, and Art (Michelle) Beauchamp; as well as many nieces, nephews, other family members, countless friends who knew him as “Monkey Man,” and his beloved dogs Timber and Zelda.
Ray was preceded in death by siblings, Bud, Gaye, Kaye, and Kim.
The family would like to give a special thanks to the staff of Toni and Trish House for their loving treatment of Ray during his time there.
In accordance with Ray’s wishes, cremation is to take place, with a celebration of life planned for the spring. Memorials may be made to Toni and Trish House, 4699 11 Mile Rd, Auburn, MI 48611.
