It is with great sadness the family of Beau William Gealy announces his passing on February 18, 2020 at the age of 29.
Beau was born in Scottsbluff, NE on January 19th, 1991 to Jerry Gealy and Rebecca Hampton (Cronkrite). Beau graduated from Gering High School in 2009. Beau was a lifelong resident of Scottsbluff, NE and worked as a heavy equipment operator/steel erector at Sunshine Holdings. Beau will forever be known for his up-beat, daredevil, and good-natured personality. Beau strived to be outdoors; you could find him either hiking in the badlands, or enjoying sun rays at Lake Minatare with friends. Beau had a passion for archelogy, and astronomy which resulted in a collection of fossils and meteorites. On family vacations Beau would be the first to go off the ski jumps, or first to jump off the highest cliff. Beau had a knack for building and creating. If you didn’t see him working on his GTO he was busy creating his nephew’s first turbo powered scooter. Beau had an immense passion for anything he set his mind to, and he undoubtedly lived every second of his life to the fullest.
