Ronald L. Beaudoin, affectionately known as “Tony B,” of Wellsville, NY, passed away peacefully on November 16, 2024, after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. Born on December 23, 1963, in Brooklyn, NY, to Joanne Beaudoin, Tony lived a life marked by generosity, positivity, and a deep love for those around him.
One of Tony’s proudest achievements was earning his degree from Dutchess Community College, a milestone that exemplified his dedication and hard work. Known for his upbeat attitude and magnetic personality, Tony formed countless friendships over the years. His warmth and genuine kindness made him a beloved member of every community he touched.
Tony was passionate about giving back. Each year, he celebrated his birthday in true Tony B style—with a festive party featuring a DJ, food, drinks, raffles, and a heartfelt mission to bring joy to children. He collected toys at these gatherings and donated them to Catholic Charities, spreading holiday cheer to countless families during Christmas.
Tony’s legacy of love and selflessness will live on in the hearts of those who knew him. He was predeceased by his mother, Joanne Beaudoin, and a community of dear friends and family who cherished his presence.
A celebration of Tony’s life will be held at Crosstown Alliance Church at 429 Highland Ave. Wellsville NY on Friday, December 6 2024 at 6:30 pm with a light potluck meal after. Please bring just a side dish or dessert to pass. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in his memory to Catholic Charities to continue his tradition of helping children during the holiday season.
Tony B’s light, laughter, and boundless generosity will be deeply missed but forever remembered.
