We are sad to announce that on August 17, 2022 we had to say goodbye to John Merritt Beam of Fort Wayne, Indiana, born in Wabash, Indiana. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of John Merritt Beam to show support.

He was loved and cherished by many people including: his father Paul Beam; his wife Evelyn "Boots" Beam (Holderman); his children, Scott Beam (Amy) of North Webster, Sara Heinold of Fort Wayne and Amy Gilbert (Tom) of Fort Wayne; his grandchildren, Emily Beam (Scott), Macy Heinold, Taylor Beam (Sarah), Drew Heinold (Jess), Mitch Gilbert, Emma Heinold, Kyle Gilbert, Ray and Jane Beam; his siblings, Nancy Wible (Dannie), Paul Beam (Sharon) and Barbara Floyd; and his stepmother Rada Beam. He was also cherished by his extended family, his friends.
