"Justin Randal Beebe was a man of great character and humbleness. He lost his life on August 13, 2016 while cutting a hazard tree during suppression efforts on the Strawberry Fire, Great Basin National Park, Nevada. Born in Bellows Falls, Vermont, Justin grew up with a strong connection to people and a deep love of the natural world. In high school, he exceeded at soccer, hockey, and sugaring of maple syrup. Justin sought challenges and pushed himself to achieve his goals, becoming a team member of the Lolo Hotshots in 2016. We remember Justin for his quiet and generous nature, a kind and thoughtful manner, an always positive attitude and friendly smile, and that tireless work ethic. He was a simple man with large dreams who will be forever missed by all who knew him."
