BEECHLER – Michael John

November 3, 1951 – October 11, 2026

Of Farmersville, NY. After a long journey with multiple illnesses, Michael passed away peacefully while receiving comfort care in North Java. Memorial contributions may be made to Charlotte House, 4316 Rt. 98, North Java, NY 14113.

Michael is survived by his wife Bonnie (Braymiller) Beechler; and his siblings, LeeAnn (Bob) Day, Sue (Mike) Ash, and Steve (Janet) Beechler; and many nieces and nephews. He was pre-deceased by his brother Patrick and his parents, Elmer and Peggy Beechler.

He was a man who lived life on his own terms, and he had a love for adventure that was evident in his passion for skydiving. With more than 750 jumps to his credit, he embraced the thrill of the skies and the freedom that came with it.

An avid hunter and sportsman, he cherished the outdoors and was actively involved in local conservation clubs, including being president of the Pioneer Winter Trap League for 7 years. He enjoyed visiting with his friends at the Franklinville Conservation Club in later years. Together with his wife Bonnie, he had a deep appreciation for nature and the traditions he held dear.

Michael worked for many years at Volland Electric where he was known for his ability to work with the crane and hoist department, and for his practical skills. He was a natural problem solver, exceptionally clever with his hands, and he could build or figure out just about anything.

Beyond his many talents and adventures, he will be remembered as a good friend with a wonderful sense of humor. He had a way of bringing laughter to those around him, and his friendship, wit, and unique way of looking at life will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

There will be no viewing. A Celebration of Life Service will be held at a later date when the family and friends can gather to remember, share stories, and honor a life well lived. He will be greatly missed and fondly remembered.
