FOR
JOSHUA BEERMANN
IS CANCELLED
Dear friends and relatives of Josh,
Sadly, we have decided to cancel the planned March 18, 2020 Celebration of Life Ceremony.
Our decision comes after prayerful deliberation and from an abundance of caution in response to the current Covid19 virus threat.
Medical experts have noted that it is possible to have the virus with no symptoms for days. They have expressed concern about the potential for “community spread” of this disease.
We cannot imagine getting together with all of you without hugs and handshakes and tears.
If any of you were to contract this virus as a result of attending the ceremony we would not want to look back wishing we had been more cautious.
On February 24, 2020 Joshua’s cremated remains were placed in a columbarium at Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd in Reno, Nevada.
We are so thankful for your expressions of love for Josh, your messages of condolence, and your concern for us.
Joshua Paul Beermann, 45, of El Segundo, California passed away after a brief illness, January 18, 2020.
Josh was born August 6, 1974 in South Lake Tahoe, CA. He graduated from Simi Valley High School, attended Moorpark Community College and graduated with a degree in Psychology from Cal State Stanislaus.
Josh had many interests and accomplishments. He was active in Boy Scouts of America and earned the coveted Eagle award. He also served as President of Order of the Arrow, Topa Topa Lodge. He never lost the skills he mastered in scouting. Hundreds of his friends and family wear lanyards, bracelets, and key chains that he made for them.
He was an avid fan of Davis Cup Tennis, traveling to a number of their events and collecting their memorabilia. Among his other collections were Victorinox and Wenger Swiss Army knives, of which he had amassed over 100 styles and sizes.
After graduating from college, Josh joined Reno Airlines in Reno, Nevada working as a baggage claims officer. When Reno Air was purchased by American Airlines Josh took an assignment as a gate agent at Love Field in Dallas. He loved his work with American Airlines, working in various capacities at DFW, SFO and finally at LAX. His most recent assignment was in the One World Alliance office where he proudly worked to solve the issues of travelers who needed assistance. When asked how he coped with travelers who had problems with baggage or connections his reply was, “The customers have the problems, and I get to help them.”
Joshua is survived by his parents, Susan and Larry Beermann; his brother Nicholas, his grandmother, Stella Beermann and many aunts, uncles and cousins. He counted among his friends the team at American Airlines, their affiliates and members of the One World Alliance office in Los Angeles.
A Memorial service will be scheduled at Gates, Kingsley & Gates Smith Salsbury Funeral Home in Culver City, California at a date to be determined.
