May 3, 1953 – August 28, 2025
Dennis Wayne Beasley, 72, of Friendswood, Texas, passed away peacefully on August 28, 2025, at HCA Hospital, surrounded by his loving family. Born in Waco, Texas on May 3, 1953, Dennis was a man who built his life on the foundations of hard work, integrity, and unwavering love for his family.
After attending college in Nacogdoches, Dennis embarked on a remarkable entrepreneurial journey that would span over four decades. He founded AmeriTek, a heat treating service company that became a testament to his vision, leadership, and commitment to excellence.
Dennis’s passions ran deep and wide from baseball to music. In his younger years, he channeled his musical talents as a singer in a band, bringing energy to stages with performances of Black Sabbath and other rock classics.
Above all, Dennis was a devoted grandfather who found his greatest joy in the laughter and wonder of his grandchildren. His face would light up during their visits, and he treasured every moment spent teaching them, playing with them, and watching them grow.
Dennis is survived by his beloved wife of 43 years, Apolla, his devoted children Michael, Rusty, Landon, Scott, Jarred, and Andrew, and his 17 cherished grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren who will carry forward his legacy of love, wisdom, and kindness. His influence extends far beyond his immediate family to the countless employees, friends, and community members whose lives he touched through his generosity and genuine spirit.
Dennis will be remembered as a man of remarkable resilience who faced life’s challenges with grace and determination. His wisdom was a guiding light to those around him, and his capacity for love seemed boundless. He had a dream of dedicating his later years to saving dogs, believing that every creature deserved compassion and care.
The legacy Dennis leaves behind is not measured only in the successful business he built or the family he nurtured, but being the kind, wise, and loving man he was.
Visitation with the family will be Friday, September 5, 2025 at 12:00 PM at Jeter Memorial Funeral Home, 311 North Friendswood Drive, Friendswood, TX with a service to follow at 1:00 PM.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Three Little Pitties Rescue, honoring Dennis’s dream of helping rescue dogs in need.

We extend our deepest condolences to your family. Prayers for all who love Dennis.
Thank you. He is sorely missed.
Apolla
My prayers are with Apolla and the Beasley family at the untimely passing of Dennis. I know he will be missed for he was a rock, the anchor of this family and his friends. His calm and humorous demeaner always made everyone feel welcome and he never knew a stranger. He touched my life in so many ways that even today I think back to what I learned from him or ask myself, “What would Dennis do in this situation.” One can not think of him without a smile on their face, anticipating his comedic nature. 🙂 He was a people pleaser. Always thinking of others and their comfort and happiness. He was a gentle man but a mans man. I will look forward to seeing him again someday, until then, rest in Peace Dennis.
My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Beasley family. From the first time I met Dennis (when he hired me to manage his environmental business) until I left, he was always genuinely nice to me, and we both had tremendous respect for each other. He always took care of me and the employees working for him even during the times where business was slow. Our conversations were always positive and he always explained how and why we did certain things. I always wished the best for him and AmeriTek after leaving. Rest in Peace!
I grew up with his son Andrew within the athletic realm at Friendswood. I used to have to walk home every day from school my entire life until i could drive. Mr Beasley would stop almost daily to offer me a ride. Although i told him NO 99% of the time, he never stopped to ask me if he could give me a lift home.
Aside from that- he was my baseball coach for many years. I have the greatest respect for this man. May he rest in peace. May he be welcomed into the Holy Kingdom by Jesus Christ. May God rest his soul.
Cheers to you Mr Dennis.
Until next time.
It was a true gift to know Dennis. We have many wonderful memories of going to the Beasley home for delicious meals, fun swims, and amazing Easter egg hunts. Dennis was always so kind, generous, hospitable, with a calm presence, warm smile, and a twinkle in his eye! He was always so real and easy to talk to, which is hard to find in this distracted world we live in. We feel so blessed to have known him and are praying for continued comfort for the family in this difficult time.
