Beau Ray Menchaca, age 32, unexpectedly passed away on December 21, 2024, doing what he loved, cruising on his motorcycle.

He was born on March 3, 1992, to Rachel Menchaca and Rable Menchaca, in Denver, CO where he lived his life.

Beau at a young age was thrown many curveballs and was forced to grow up quickly. His tough surroundings created the strong, resilient man we have all come to love and depend on. He once said, "It takes a lot of violence to be this gentle."

Despite his challenges, Beau earned his credentials as a journeyman electrician. He worked at Kingdom Electric in Denver for six years.

He was active in AA, with a sobriety date of December 26th of 2020.

His magnetic personality was refreshing to be around. Beau was quick witted, lighthearted, and downright playful. Beau was a kindhearted man who did good deeds for family, friends, and strangers. Beau would tell you the truth about your mistakes and be a warm-hearted friend in your time of need.

One of Beau's proud accomplishments was a charity he started with his mom to distribute care bags to the homeless on Christmas Day. This tradition began the year after he chose to live a sober life.

Beau understood the rewards of early mornings and basked in many sunrises. While you were sleeping in, he was pushing the limits on his own capabilities. He was solid, intense, and dependable. Beau kept it simple; he was self-disciplined, consistent, and hard working.

Some would say Beau was an adrenaline junkie. Known for his adventurous spirit, he lived life at full speed, embracing every thrill. Beau loved riding his motorcycle, snowboarding, running up Lookout Mountain, going to the shooting range, and was an avid skydiver. He prioritized his physical and mental strength.

His untimely passing has left the world void of his vibrant spirit.

Beau is survived by his parents, Rable Menchaca and Rachel Menchaca; sister Victoria, brother-in-law, Patrick Denney, nephew & godson Stanley Denney; significant other Melissa Gelman; grandparents Ernesto and Helen Lucero; grandparents Raymond and Belma Menchaca; and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

He was preceded in death by his auntie Leah Lucero, stepbrother Matthew Gora, best friend Nathan Padilla, and dog Kiddie.
