    Jimmie Lee Beamon, Jr. of Chocowinity, NC was born in Beaufort County on June 26, 1954 and passed on October 30, 2025. He graduated from Chocowinity High School in 1972 and attended Mount Olive College. He lived all of his life in Beaufort County, NC and Pitt County, NC.

    The family will receive friends on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, from 2:00 PM until 5:00 PM at Paul Funeral Home & Crematory of Washington.

    Jimmie was preceded in death by his parents Jimmie Lee Beamon, Sr. and Elizabeth Baker Beamon, as well as his ex-wife Betsy Wallace Beamon, with whom he remained friends.

    Surviving Jimmie are: his daughter Stacy Beamon Geoffrion (husband Matthew) of Wilmington, NC; son Jeremy Eric Beamon (fiancée Erin Palmer) of Elizabeth City, NC; granddaughter Bailey Elizabeth Hines (fiancée Ryley Cushing) of Champlain, NY; grandson Gabriel Matthew Geoffrion, of Wilmington, NC; great-grandson newborn Archer Matthew Cushing, of Champlain, NY; sister Teresa Paul of Greenville, NC; sister Pam Worthington (husband Obe) of Chocowinity, NC; brother Kenny Beamon of Grimesland, NC; beloved nephews and niece, and Betsy's children-Jessica, Seth, and Adam, who remained dear to him, too.

    Jimmie enjoyed spending time with his family, spending time with special friends Linda and Floyd Francis at their home in Shallotte, NC, spending time near the water and fishing, being outdoors, listening to music, and his new hobby of playing guitar. Jimmie could fix almost anything and was good with his hands.

    He had recently retired from Flanders Filters in Washington, NC and was entering a new phase of life where he was becoming reacquainted with how to relax and take it easy, all over again. He approached this phase of life with a renewed vigor for reaching out and sharing his experience, strength and hope to help others. Jimmie believed in second chances and tried to inspire other people to believe in them, too.

    Paul Funeral Home & Crematory of Washington is honored to serve the Beamon family.

    God, Grant us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change, the courage to change the things we can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
