Beau Gilbreath, 1957-2020

Posted

Beau Gilbreath, 63, transitioned to his eternal home on Friday, April 17, with his life partner Joseph by his side. 

Prior to his retirement, Beau was the proprietor of TLC Hair and Company in Mineola. Beau enjoyed the company of his numerous clients and friends, some of whom have shared that Beau always had a positive outlook on life and kind words of encouragement for them. 

Beau truly enjoyed the handiwork of God’s outdoor creation. Upon retirement, he spent much of his time surveying his “little patch of heaven on earth,” his backyard. It should be noted that part of his time in his backyard was spent “supervising” the needs of such. Much of his time outdoors was also spent with his cat Otis by his side. 

Beau is survived be his life partner, Joseph; and his siblings, Ken (Darlene) Gilbreath, Nell French and TJ Gilbreath. Beau is also survived by a “peck” of nieces and nephews who in true Southern tradition always referred to him as Uncle Beau. 

Beau was preceded in death by his parents, Johnnie and Grace Gilbreath, and his brother, Shane. 

Plans for Beau’s celebration of life are forthcoming.
