Albert Carl Beutler
Albert "Al" Beutler
Albert C. Beutler, age, 39, passed away August 12, 2009 in the San Juan Islands. Al was born in Richland, Wa., Dec. 15, 1969 to Connie and Richard Beutler. He grew up in Richland where he graduated from Hanford High School.
During high school, he worked at Malley's Drug Store as a Pharmacy Tech and after graduation pursued a career as a Service Writer for various Auto Dealerships in the area. In 2002, Al moved to the Seattle area, where he continued in the automotive field, later becoming Service Manager. He was currently working for Bellevue BMW.
Al, so enjoyed the Seattle area and the water surrounding it, that he joined the Coast Guard Auxiliary in Jan. 2004. During Al's time with the Coast Guard Auxiliary, he used his own boat, Moon Angel, to help patrol the Puget Sound waters. Al was elected to the position of Instructor of boating safety and with this he taught classes for both the public and auxiliary. December 2008, Al was appointed to the position of Commander, the highest position in the Flotilla, where he served as the Commander for the Edmonds Flotilla # 12.
Al enjoyed the simple things in life: family barbeques, working on cars with his brother and dad, lunches with his Aunt and cousin and the many boating trips to the San Juan's. He loved his family and was a true and loyal friend to many.
Al was preceded in death by his grandparents, Glenn and Lorraine Beutler and Lucky and Peggy Precechtel. He is survived by his parents, Connie and Dick Beutler, his brother, Rich and wife Ina, special nephews, Kaden and Ethan and special niece Alexa. Al is also survived by many aunts, uncles and cousins. We would like to send a heartfelt thanks to all of Al's close friends who have supported us throughout these difficult times. We love you AL son, brother, brother-in-law, uncle and friend. You will always be in our hearts and never forgotten.
Services will be held Friday, August 21, 2009 at Einan's Funeral Home in Richland, WA at 2:00PM. Visitation will be held Thursday from 5-8 PM and Friday morning, 10-12 at Einan's Funeral Home.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time. I worked with Al at McCurley’s and remember him as a funny, outgoing, and helpful man.
Dear Beutler Family: As the holidays approach you are in my thoughts. I spent one Thanksgiving with Al and Christa and it was a special one. When I walked in the door Al was on the phone to his Grandma and that always made an impression on me. I recently found some pictures I thought you might like to have so Christa will pass those along to you. My best wishes to you. Lila
David and Dorian, Al was a true friend and boat neighbor for the past seven years. We will miss him greatly and are saddened by this trageic loss.Rest in Peace Al.

I am so sorry for your loss and the hurt you are feeling at this very difficult time. I don’t know any words that I can write that will help you through this. Please know that I am and will continue to pray for your family.

I am so sorry for your loss and the hurt you are going through at this difficult time.
I knew Al from high school, he was so nice and always had a great smile to share with everyone. We went to spring prom together and it was quite the challenge climbing up into his white Toyota with BIG tires wearing a prom dress. He was truely a special person.
My heart goes out to the Beutler family. I know how much you love Al and how much you will miss him.
I enjoyed knowing Al. He had incredible energy and a charismatic smile and personality.
I am so sorry for this terrible tragedy.
Richard and Connie we are so sorry to read that your son has passed, may God be with all your family and comfort all of you.
Richard and Connie,
Let’s face it Al and I gave the two of you more than one gray hair through junior high and beyond, but you always made me feel welcome in your home. I am so sorry for your loss.
Al we were best of friends for a long time, keep the sand and the mud ready for me, we will see each other again. I miss you buddy.
My Al…
I understand. I love you and I miss you. Find me…I will be waiting.
The Beutler Family,
I pray for peace for you during this difficult time. Thank you to Rich, Ina, and Auntie Sharon K for your kindness and warm welcome. My heart is with you.
To the family who lost a son and a brother…
Nothing I can say will ease your sorrow. I also, lost a son two years ago so I do understand.
I found comfort in a song “The Voice” by Celtic Women. It is true what they say…though the days are long, time becomes your friend once again.
Al, I will miss you.
Al was a good friend. We had a lot of fun times skiing, four wheeling and at hockey games.
I am so sorry that he is gone.
Dear Richard,
From your “C” shift family home away from home we offer our support and condolances. We look forward when you are ready to come back to work. God Bless you and your Family.
Al was always a gentleman. My daughter Trina and I met Al while he was our instructor of our boatng class in Edmonds. We became very good friends of his and Judi’s at that time. We had many good times at our homes and the restaurant. My heart is filled with sorrow for the loss of Al and all that were involved. God bless you Al and everyone.
Sincerely, Gayle
Albert Carl
Bright eyes, Big smile- little buddy – Sincere, loving and wonderful person you always be. Family & friend to all of us, who will miss you dearly.
On a road trip to the Oregon beach this past April, Albert, Mike & myself shared lots of laughs, great conversations, lunch & a visit to the Coast Guard Maritime Museum. The love & appreciation we shared with each other that weekend will keep us close to our hearts. A beautiful memory for the 3 of us.
XOXOX
Al could light up Safeco Field with a smile! I will miss that, along with his laugh, those bright green eyes full of life and wonder, and our friendship. My heart is heavy and I may always ask why, but hope that everyone can find solace in such a horrific tragedy.
Sorry to hear of you loss of your son. May he rest in peace… and may the Lord give you comfort and support at this time of need.
Jeff and Linda Phillips
Richard and Connie,
We are praying for you.

It was a pleasure to have met Al and to see him in action working at a car dealership in Pasco.
Al reminded me of the “tough guys” that I used to work with at gold mines half a world away. His dedication to work and his enjoyment of life off the job were the same.
Rest in peace Al, and condolences to all.
To the Beutler family: I am so sorry for your great loss. I got to know Al in 2002 and used to call him “Albert Henry” which was my Grandfather’s name. He always gave me a big smile when I said that. I remember one Thanksgivng I didn’t want to go to dinner because I was so tired from working so hard. He talked me into going and made me a bed in the computer room and put on a movie until dinner was ready. I was very fond of Al. With Deepest Sympathy, Alison Satterlee
You came into my world like a bull in a china closet Albert. You showed me life as I never knew, still do not understand, and will never forget. Your love of life will stay close to my heart forever. I know you loved your family and my prayers are with them each day, as they are for you as you rest in peace for eternity. I’ll love you forever Al.
To the family: My heart goes out to you in this time of such a tragic loss. You were blessed with the time shared together with such a special man. It is now time to move on to good memories, forgiveness, and a time of healing for yourselves. That is what he would want.
To Al: I never thought my last moments with you would be at your viewing. Over the past 5 years, not many a day has gone by that I haven’t thought about you and missed the space in time that we were soul mates. I am sorry I couldn’t help you in your time of need and I know that there are moments in times of action that I am not meant to know or understand about. You always made me feel safe and pushed me to be the better of myself. I feel your guilt and will connect with you again on another level. I will remain your “Moon Angel”.
Love,
Christa
Dear Dick and Connie: I went with Christa to the cemetery today. I just want to let you know that my thoughts have been with you every day since this happened. I know too well how a tragedy like this can affect the lives of family members forever. I have seen what a close and loving family you are and know that you will be a great help to each other in going forward. I will keep you in my prayers.
I met Al in late 2007. He was a great man. He always had a smile on his face and was just so happy go lucky. We went to hockey games, sat around on his boat just chit chatting, i watched him as he was sooo happyily rebuilding the cabin interior of his boat…he also helped me move from Eatonville to Mtlake Terrace to be closer to him. Sadly we didnt last that long due to him not wanting to ‘settle’, however we always remained friends and would get together for lunch here and there. I lost touch with Al back in July last year, and I had been trying to locate him and eventually found him on FB a couple weeks ago. I found out about his passing from his mother the last couple days. I am deeply saddened by this tragedy. I never seen Al as the violent type or even the type that would hurt another person or himself in such a way. I pray he is up in heaven smiling down in a happier place. I have pictures of him that I took and they will keep his memory living forever in my heart and mind.
My heart goes out to his family and friends/acquaintances. I know Al loved those that mattered to him and though he is gone, he’ll never be forgotten.
R.I.P. Al, you’ll remain forever in my heart and I’m sorry I wasnt able to get in touch with you before this tragedy, you’ll never know how much it hurts to know that you are gone.
Amy
