1/5/13 - Services were held Thursday for a father of five from Fenton who passed away after suffering from flu-like symptoms late last month. 44-year-old Kirk Beauchamp of Fenton and his wife Amy both came down with the flu on December 26th. Amy recovered from the illness, but Kirk did not show signs of improving. The Tri-County Times reports he was taken to Genesys Health Park for treatment, then air-lifted to Henry Ford Hospital, but did not improve under their care. He passed away December 29th, three days after symptoms began. He leaves behind a wife and five children ranging from kindergarten to eighth grade. Beauchamp and his wife returned to the Fenton area in September after four years in Ohio. A memorial fund for the family is being set up. Those who wish to donate can find envelopes at Sharp Funeral Homes in Swartz Creek, which handled Beauchampâs funeral service. (JK)
