Gerhard Erich Beuth
November 6, 1939 - February 19, 2025
It is with great sorrow we announce the passing of Gerhard Erich Beuth who left us on February 19, 2025, at the age of 85.
Born in Stuttgart, Germany on November 6, 1939, Gerhard lived a life filled with passion and a deep appreciation for the world around him. He was a loving husband, devoted father, stepfather, proud grandfather and a cherished friend.
A brilliant real-estate broker, Gerhard had an exceptional talent for negotiating deals and a real passion for protecting his clients. His integrity and commitment to his clients earned him the respect of those who worked with him.
He had a profound love for nature and his appreciation for the outdoors brought him peace and joy throughout his life. He loved hiking and skiing down the slopes of Le Massif in Quebec, driving from Toronto to Costa Rica and participating in the building of orphanages in Guatemala, the Dominican and Peru with the organization 'Friends of the Orphans'.
Gerhard was also deeply connected to culture and music. He loved the symphony, opera, live theatre and was an avid reader. His passion for good food and fine dining was legendary—whether it was sharing a well-prepared meal with loved ones or exploring new culinary experiences, Gerhard’s zest for life was always evident in the moments he shared.
He is survived by his wife Hilary, his children Eric and Fiona, stepchildren Justin, Blake (Ingrid) and Alyssa and beloved 'Opa' to his grandchildren Jake, Cole, Imogen and Ivy. In Germany he leaves behind a sister Brigitte, nieces, nephews and cousins.
Gerhard's legacy of warmth and passion for life will continue to inspire those who knew him.
A private graveside memorial service will be held in the spring, and at a later date, a "celebration of life". He will be forever missed and forever loved.
In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Gerhard may be made to Friends of the Orphans Canada (1-519-763-9560) or the Toronto Symphony Orchestra.
