Herbert “Herb” Arthur Beutz

Herb Beutz, a 35-year resident of Rancho Bernardo, passed away peacefully at home on Feb. 10, with his loving family by his side. A beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and brother, Herb was born in St. Cloud, MN.

Herb married Yvonne LaRoche in 1952, in Longview, WA where they began their family and moved to California and lived in Lynwood, Tustin and San Diego, where they raised their 11 children. Herb was dedicated to his church and family throughout his life. He enjoyed long rides on his motorcycles and sport cars. His professional career as a dental technician for 45 years brought smiles to thousands of faces!

He is survived by his 11 children: sons Phillip, John, Mark, Steven, Gregory, Jeffrey and Thomas; and daughters Mary Anne, Jayne, Patricia, Irene and his sister, Sr. Mary Minette OSB and brother, Jerry. He is also survived by 22 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren.

Herbert: Dad, Brother, Grandpa, and I always called him Pa. He was a great man and a Loving Father to all his children and he always had the love in his heart. When I began working for him, it reminded me of my Dad. In the short time that I've known him I've always seen his kids, grandkids, and great grandkids everyday. They always came to see him and that's when I said to myself "He was a Great and Loving Father to his Children. Another thing about Herbert was I saw that his faith was strong. He always prayed and sang "Ave Maria". I loved those moments and will always cherish them.

Pa I love you and ask you to continue to pray for us. You are home now with God and your wife. Watch over us Herbert and guide us through. Pa don't chage blonde up there. You behave or your wife will get you we love you Pa.

Phil, Mary Anne, Jayne, John, Patricia, Mark, Steve, Irene, Greg, Jeff, Tom: I want to ask all of you if we do anything wrong while we working with your dad forgive us. You guys along with your spouses are the best. You guys were there all the time and you showed Herbert that you guys loved and cared for him. You guys showed us that the love a child has for their parent is unconditional and beyond anyones limits. You all are great role models for your children. If you guys need anything don't hesitate to call. We love you guys so much and will continue to keep you all in our daily prayers. God Bless!

I have many fond memories of Herb and Yvonne, I can still laugh at many of the times we spent together with the NW portion of the Beutz family. Herb was so cool to just hope on his bike and head up to Portland. He was a wonderful uncle. I know God has blessed you. Kathy Beutz Hoidahl

Herb brought out some of the best of that generation of "Beutz Boys". He always had that crazy twinkle in his eyes. The brothers had a lot in common. Lots of crazy stuff and great stories. Most of it was true! He will be missed and was a great uncle. Take care - all you cousins down there. Tom (Ralph's) Beutz

We had many fond, laughing, and great memories with Mr. Herb and Mrs. Yvonne years and years back... He was a proud, warm and connected man. All sweet stories... We're happy for him that he now can reunite with his loving wife in the heaven, forever and in peace...

Much love and thoughts are with you, to the Beutz Family, during this difficult time.

Gary and Kimchi

P.S. Thanks to Mr. Herb for the wonderful Santa Clause Xmas card 2010!

Oh Herbie ....How I loved ya, let me count the ways. I will forever remember all the many family get togethers and all the craziness.....food everywhere, kids running around, Christmas wrapping paper all over the floor, pop in visits at Tom and Jeffs condo. The Beutz family is my family for sure and for certain. I love, love, love you all so BIG in my heart. I wish I could be there with you. I have a sick papa here that I have to take care of. My heart is with you at this time. Keep shining Turk. Tell Yvonne I love her too. Your good Catholic daughter married to the plasterer. (inside joke) Love you Herbie. XOXOXOXOXO POOP
