Robert “Bob” Edward Beiker passed away on March 23, 2022, at Hays
Medical Center in Hays, Kansas, at the age of 61. He was born on October
23, 1960, in Plainville, Kansas, to Joseph and Elvera (Holzhauer)
Beiker. Bob was united in marriage to Stacey (Denney) Beiker on October
3, 1981, in Plainville, Kansas. The couple was blessed with two sons:
Josh and BJ.
Bob was a lifelong resident of Plainville. He graduated from
Plainville High School with the class of 1979 and attended Salina Area
Vocational Technical School for two years before working a short stent
in Russell for Lauries Heating then spent some time at Murfin Drilling
and Lightening Well Service. He moved back to his hometown in the early
2000’s and started his own business, Double B Tank Service, which he
owned and operated until his passing. Bob enjoyed the outdoors, hunting,
working cattle, and was known for being a little loud and even a little
ornery.
Bob was a hardworking and caring man. While he strived for
perfection in all that he did, he knew how to have fun and enjoy life
along the way. He will be greatly missed, but his memory will serve as
an inspiration to those who knew him… always do what you love, and
always love what you do.
He is survived by his mother, Elvera Beiker of Plainville, KS; wife,
Stacey Beiker of Plainville, KS; sons, Josh (Christa) Beiker of Hays,
KS and BJ (Megan) Beiker of Hays, KS; siblings, Sue Beiker of Aurora,
CO, Chris (Bob) Sauber of Salina, KS, Ken (Michelle) Beiker of Wichita,
KS, Gene (Julia) Beiker of Rossville, KS; and two grandchildren, Taryn
and Avryn Beiker.
Bob is preceded in death by his father, Joseph Beiker; and siblings, Tom Beiker, Doug Beiker and Steve Beiker.
