Summary

Between January and July 2026, Beaver Island forum users shared obituary reproductions, funeral-home links, family notices, and brief death announcements for people connected with the island. The held threads include Bob Simpson, Lois Williams, Stephen Hagerman, Richard Larson, Charles Carey, Jim Cull, Susie Fisher, Tom Kludt, Gary Huard, Jason Chapman, Jessica Nackerman, Larry Danaj, Chuck Carpenter, and Pam White O’Brien.

The notices preserve island connections that may not be visible from a death notice alone: summer or retirement residence, family ties, Holy Cross Cemetery burial, island community participation, or recurring seasonal presence.

Evidence limits

This is a grouped forum memorial record, modeled on the KB’s newspaper obituary roundups. Forum posts are useful for documenting community circulation and island associations, but they are not a substitute for civil death records, funeral-home notices, cemetery registers, or church records. Some posts reproduce those stronger sources; others are first-person or secondhand announcements, and their details should not be generalized across the group. Most deaths occurred off-island, so the spatial status remains unresolved rather than asserting Beaver Island as the death location.

Beaver Island Forum, “Gary Huard RIP,” April 28, 2026, and “Susie Fisher RIP,” “Tom Kludt RIP,” “Jason Chapman RIP,” and “Jessica Nackerman RIP,” May–June 2026.
The obituary notices describe Gary Huard as an island dock and cottage figure, Susie Fisher as a former Beaver Island resident buried at Holy Cross Cemetery, Tom Kludt as a person who lived and loved Beaver Island, Jason Chapman as a summer-returning family member scheduled for Beaver Island burial, and Jessica Nackerman as a visitor with Beaver Island family ties. The notices are reproduced or relayed through the forum; funeral-home and cemetery records would be stronger sources for final identity, dates, and burial details.
