Cartier Alexander Beasley's Obituary
Cartier Alexander Beasley made his grand entrance into the world December 21, 2012 to his parents Shanan Ivory and Curtis Beasley Jr. “Baby Boy” as his “GRANNY” would call him.
Cartier was an affectionate and very loveable kid. Cartier was very vocal often stating his truth of what he thought you may have smelled like, looked like, or even what he thought you need need to hear or do. “Carty here”, as he once announced entering a room.
Cartier briefly attended Supporting Future Growth Preschool in Oakland, but soon left on good terms due to his teachers not complying with his rules. Better know as “Carty’s way or the highway”.
If you yelled at Carty, Carty yelled back. Cartier loved donuts, pizza, and most of all toy cars. His love for cars became evident when he would go quietly off to his favorite place, lining each one of his cars in a row. Zoom, zoom, zoom.
Gone to soon from us but realty quickly in he arms of our Dear Lord. Cartier departed this life on Friday June 23, 2017 leaving his mother Shanan Ivory, and his father Curtis Beasley Jr. One sister Anayah Hill. One brother Curtis “Baby Curt” Beasley. Great grandmother whom he called “Granny”, Freddie Mae Burse. Three grandma’s, Judy Burse, Berteenia Rainey, and Michelle Brooks. One Grand-dad Curtis Beasley Sr, and two Pa-pa’s Anthony Ivory, and Barrett Loving. Two aunties, Corina Beasley and Lovfertiti Loving. Several Uncles, Marcus McAroy, Craig “Bookie” Smith, Michael Morgan, Isiah Smith, Henry Celestine, Gary Roberson, Raymond “Uncle Goob” Duncan. Cartier also had two special great uncles, Uncle Johnny Young, and Uncle Rickey Burse. Carty also leaves his three favorite cousins, Samantha, Tre, Deshawn, and a host of other family and friends to mourn his passing.
