Beers Jr, Henry Charles, was born March 20, 1934, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and died peacefully on May 15, 2026 at the age of 92 with his four remaining children at his side.

Henry was preceded in death by his parents, Henry and Jenny Beers; wife of 71 years, Jane Beers; son, Henry “Chip” Beers III; and son-in-law Charlie Kwentus. He is survived by his children, Kara Sisk, Jeffrey Beers, Ramsay Salisbury (Mick Salisbury), and Courtney Beers (Jordan Mahaney); seven grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren.

Henry was, first and foremost, a dedicated and devoted spouse to Jane for the duration of their union from college through her death in 2024.  He was a father and grandfather – leading his family with confidence and unconditional love.  He was a friend, sailor, and salesman – working in New York, Chicago, and St. Louis as well as sailing waters, near and far.  He was an eternal optimist – seeing the positive and potential in even the most challenging of circumstances.  If you knew him you most likely experienced his charismatic smile, enthusiasm, and kind heart.  He was always up for a conversation.  These qualities, characteristics, and way of facing each day will live on in the community that supported and surrounded him.

A service will be held at 10 am on June 27, 2026 at Grace Episcopal Church in Kirkwood, Missouri.
