Obituary

Thomas Edward Beard Sr. 85, of Hope Mills, passed away on Tuesday July 4, 2023. He was born in Cumberland County on September 4, 1937 to the late Paul Beard and Linda Lee (Bryant) Beard.

Thomas enlisted in the US military in October 1963 and was honorably discharged in September 1965. He loved his country, the flag, tractors, celebrating the Fourth of July, antique shows, and tractor pulls. He was the kind of man who never met a stranger and was a friendly face for everyone and loved helping people. He served as a firefighter at the Fort Bragg Fire Department and later as a maintenance man at the Callahan Gym.

Along with his parents, he is preceded in death by his loving wife, Mary Dallas Beard; and his sister, Jeanette Beard.

He is survived by his son Thomas Edward Beard Jr and wife Danielle of Fayetteville; brother Jimmy Beard of South Carolina; sister Linda Faye Beard of Florida; 2 grandchildren; 1 great grandchild; and a host of friends and extended family members.
