Henry Roscoe “Rossie” Beasley
Henry Roscoe “Rossie” Beasley was called home by our Heavenly Father April 10, 2026 at his Wanchese, NC home. He was 83 and preceded in death by his beloved wife Martha Ann “Marty” Beasley in 2021, and his parents Henry Beasley and Neva Beasley.
A Dare County native, Rossie was born in Nags Head August 11, 1942. He spent much of his youth on the water as a mate out of Oregon Inlet. His ease on the water eventually led Rossie to join the United States Coast Guard from which he would retire after more than 25 years of brave and faithful service.
Eventually Rossie returned to Wanchese to raise his family with Marty. Rossie earned his plumbing credentials and joined the family plumbing business- Beasley Plumbing, which his father founded. Rossie successfully managed the company and grew it to the company it is today. Henry made God, family, and country the center of his life and will truly be missed by so many.
Rossie is survived by his three children ; Brent Beasley (Christie), Michael Shane Beasley- all of Wanchese, and Melanie Beasley Young (Norman) of Edenton, NC; ten grandchildren, Durand Shane Beasley, Caston Williams (Brandon), Bailey Young, Harrison Young, Christopher Beasley (Alexis), Jeremy Beasley, Ben Bateman (Katie), Lauren Stevenson (Daniel), Merrick Long, Shay Midgette (Charlie); six great-grandchildren Banks, Naomi, Lainey, Brant, Sailor and Cedar; a host of extended family members, his Coastie family, and his lifelong friends and neighbors.
The children are honoring their father’s preference for cremation. Rossie and Marty’s cremated remains will be laid to rest together at Arlington National Cemetery in Northern Virginia. The ceremony, with full military honors, will be private. The family’s plans to host a gathering to celebrate Rossie’s life will be announced at a future time. Please share expressions of sympathy with the Beasley family at gallopfuneralservices.com. Gallop Funeral Services was entrusted with arrangements.

My thoughts are with you and your family at this time; may your memories bring you comfort. “Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.” ~~ Eskimo Proverb
I am so sorry. He was an awesome man and like a dad to me. Marty and Bossie meant a lot to me and was always there for me. Marty always knew when I needed a hug. She had the best hugs. Bossie always knew when to show up for coffee. He will be greatly missed. They will always be in my heart and thoughts.
Sorry to hear about Uncle Rossie. If any of you need anything, let us know
It is with a sad heart that I leave this message. Meeting Rossie and Brent through Aubrey Kitchin, they eventually helped me build my family home in 2005. His infectious laugh will live on in my memory. My condolences.
We are so very sorry to hear of Rossie’s passing. We certainly will miss our long time friend. He was the best!!
May Rossie family find peace and comfort in the many memories of him. We are praying for his family and friends.
