Obituary: Michael Joseph Beauregard
His Legacy… Michael Joseph Beauregard, 86, passed away May 6, 2024. He was born on July 13, 1937, in Petoskey, Michigan to Raymond and Louise (Bernie) Beauregard. Michael was married to Susan Andres, on April 20, 1968, in East Lansing, Michigan. Starting their new life with just a canoe and car, faith and family were the most important to Michael. Being an avid outdoorsman, he enjoyed hunting, fishing, bird watching, canoeing and camping. Michael was a skilled woodworker and enjoyed carving wood and building furniture. His love for botany and his forestry degree led him to open Whiffletree Plant Nursery, which he operated for 10 years after retirement. Michael loved to help people, whether it be through prison ministry, missionary work, or helping someone work on their projects. He was very involved in the Catholic Church and was a father figure to many. Michael was a joy to know and will be deeply missed by his family and friends.
