About Me

Homer resident Thomas M. Beatty, 38, died Sept. 30, 2007, as a result of a floatplane accident at Katmai National Park. Tom was born Dec. 30, 1968, in Walnut Creek, Calif., where he was raised. He graduated from Los Lomas High School in 1987 and received a degree in environmental studies from the University of California in Santa Cruz in 1992. Tom and his wife, Julie, moved to Girdwood in 1996. He worked for Challenge Alaska during the winters and as a flyfishing guide during the summers for Royal Wolf Lodge in Katmai National Park. His family wrote: "He was the consummate outdoorsman -- an expert flyfishing guide and backcountry telemark skier. Through his patient teaching and expert guiding skills, he touched all with his passion for the outdoors, good humor and love of life. Tom will be in our hearts forever." He is survived by his wife, Julie; daughter, Lindsey; sister and brother-in-law, Carol and Nicholas; daughter, Lauren of Anchorage; and parents, Russ and Jane Beatty of Santa Cruz.......and thousands of very thankful heartbroken friends.
