Conway Shawn “Twitty” Beaudry, age 36, of Kalamazoo, Michigan, passed away on June 10, 2026. He was born on February 19, 1990, in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Conway was a man whose heart was as big as his personality. Those who knew him remember someone who was fun-loving, caring, and always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. He lived by the values of honesty, integrity, hard work, and love for his family and friends. His generous spirit and genuine concern for others left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him.

Family was the center of Conway’s world. He cherished every opportunity to be surrounded by those he loved, especially during family summer cookouts and trips to the lake. He adored spending time with his nieces and nephews and treasured every gathering that brought everyone together. His family remembers the brightness he brought into every room and the joy he shared simply by being present.

Affectionately known as “Twitty,” Conway had a larger-than-life personality and a heart of gold. He was enjoyable to be around and had a wonderful sense of humor that could brighten even the darkest day. One family memory that always brought laughter was his very first birthday, when he became determined to eat his birthday presents and was upset when he discovered he couldn’t.

A devoted father to his daughters, Conway led with his heart. He believed in the importance of love, forgiveness, and keeping family close. Whether he was working with concrete, enjoying the outdoors, watching MMA, or putting his skills to use as a talented handyman, he approached everything with determination and pride. More than anything, he loved seeing his family together.

Like many, Conway faced personal struggles, including depression. Through those difficult times, he found strength in the love and support of his family. His courage, dedication, and resilience never defined him as much as the kindness he continued to show others. His loved ones hope he will be remembered not for the hardships he faced, but for the joyful, caring man he was, for the laughter he shared so freely, and for the gratitude he had for the people who meant the most to him.

Conway’s legacy is one of compassion, generosity, and unwavering love for his family. His memory will live on in every summer gathering, every shared laugh, and every helping hand extended in his honor. His family hopes those who knew him will continue to keep one another close, embrace life with humor and gratitude, and never forget the light he brought into their lives.

Conway is survived by his mother, Lori Hiles; his brothers, Lee Seirsma, Jessie Seirsma, and Nathan Beaudry; his daughter; and many extended family members and friends who will forever cherish his memory.
