Virgil Edgar Koscheski

August 28, 1928 - March 10, 2020

At 91 years old, Virgil passed away peacefully in his sleep at home with family. Virgil grew up in Beaumont and married his sweetheart Marjorie Stowe in 1949 and they had three sons. In 1953, they bought their house on Beaumont’s Palm Ave, raised their 3 boys, and lived there happily for the rest of their lives. With a knack for all things mechanical, Virgil loved tinkering with cars and things around the house and could often be found in his yard or workshop. For almost his entire career, Virgil worked for the County of Riverside Public Works improving county roads. When the county started using computers, Virgil disliked the new technology so much, he decided he’d retire at the ripe age of just 60. Friends and family didn’t know how the always hard-working man would fill his time in retirement, but Virgil was constantly finding new projects to keep his hands busy. Fiercely independent, he was still living by himself and even working in the yard until just a few weeks before he passed away. A Good Samaritan almost to a fault, he was always befriending people in need and lending a helping hand. Virgil & Marjorie were deeply religious and very involved in the Baptist Church. They were married for nearly 65 years until Marjorie passed away in 2014. Virgil leaves behind his three sons, Don and his wife Fran of Sacramento, Vernon of Sacramento, and Larry and his wife Ronda of Beaumont; grandchildren Paul, Ellie (Jermaine), Steven (Marie), Andrew, Joseph and Vanessa (Andrew); great grandchild Remy; and his cat Tiger. He joins in heaven his wife Marjorie, sister and brother-in-law Jean Ann and Bob, and parents Art and Jessie Neil. Ever the humble man, he requested no funeral and to be buried alongside Marjorie in a private service. Virgil will be greatly missed and remembered fondly for his kind and humble spirit, helping hands, and giving heart.

Virgil Edgar Koscheski, age 91, of Beaumont, California passed away on Tuesday March 10, 2020. Virgil was born August 28, 1928.
