Austin D Bean

He was born October 14, 1984, in Madison, Wisconsin the son of Daniel and Rebecca (Daggett) Bean.

Austin adored his children and spending time with them. He loved them very much. He enjoyed outside activities since his childhood, encouraging his siblings and friends to fish, go boating, look for snakes, turtles, and other wildlife, build forts and go exploring. Austin always had a talent for building things: stone-lined ponds, waterfalls, and other building projects. He looked forward to building a home on his property. He loved to be in nature's natural setting of woods, ponds, and streams. He really loved to be out fishing and caring for pets.

His love of his country and desire to be active led him to be a mortar-man for the US Marine Corps, serving in the Iraq war after he graduated from Leavitt Area High School, of which he was proud. He struggled, returning to the civilian world as many veterans do. He worked various jobs including being employed at the Walmart Distribution Center.

When he was young, he accepted Jesus as his Savior. He expressed many times, that he loved Jesus and we know he is with Jesus now. He would want us all to be encouraged, knowing that we can be reunited with him again one day in heaven also.

Austin is survived by his parents Daniel and Rebecca Bean; two children Tessa and Daniel Bean; their mother and former wife, Kendra Gendron; siblings Andrew Bean & wife Katie; Tifani Bean & husband Terry, Natasha Bean, and Heidi Dugay & husband Nathan; nieces & nephews Elizabeth, Heather, Anna, and Brody; maternal grandparents Ruth & Austin Daggett.

He was predeceased by his paternal grandparents Daniel and Mary Bean of Michigan and a nephew Rene Cloutier III.
