David Beamish

David John Beamish (1955 - 2019)

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of David Beamish, the President of DeFelsko Corporation. David died peacefully at home surrounded by family on November 4, 2019 at the age of 63. Our DeFelsko team has lost a brilliant mind and incredible leader, but most of all, a beloved and honest friend. Linda Beamish, David's wife and DeFelsko founder Frank Koch's daughter, has assumed David's role as President after 30 years working alongside David in her previous role as the Vice President. David's son Michael assumes responsibilities as Vice President and General Manager.
