      Henry Roscoe "Rossie" Beasley

      April 10, 2026

      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.

        OUR HISTORY

        The Nags Head Chapel and Company Headquarters

        Nags Head Chapel

        Gallop Funeral Services, Inc. was founded in Nags Head, NC in 2006 by licensed North Carolina Funeral Director Courtney N. Gallop. This independent, minority and woman-owned start-up funeral home challenged the existing monopoly firm which had sole control of all funeral care, goods, and services provided in Manteo, the Outer Banks, and Currituck County for nearly 100 years.

        Finally - someone brought competition into the local funeral industry. As a direct result of Gallop Funeral Services, Inc., local families now have choices, options, alternatives, fairer pricing, flexibility, and a higher level of service in funeral care for their loved ones.

        The Barco Memorial Chapel - Currituck

        Barco Chapel

        In 2016, Gallop Memorial Chapel was opened in Barco, NC. The spacious, newly remodeled facility is the first and only funeral service-related business ever to locate in Currituck County. The Barco Gallop Memorial Chapel is conveniently located near the Outer Banks, Moyock and Elizabeth City. The elegant yet relaxing chapel interior is welcoming and comfortable for viewings, family gatherings, funerals, and memorial services. Our Barco chapel is perfectly equipped to serve all faiths and families in the county.

        Courtney Gallop and the staff at Gallop Funeral Services, Inc. are committed to excellence. We continue to improve, grow, invest, and learn in order to provide the highest level of service for all families entrusted to our care.

        Capital Crematory

        Capital Crematory

        In 2011, we built and established Capital Crematory, the first and only crematory ever in Dare County. The crematory supports Gallop Funeral Services and also provides professional cremation services for other funeral homes in the Albemarle area. Having our own local crematory means your loved one's cremation will be handled personally by owners of the funeral home, 100% locally, quickly, and at the best pricing.
