The Beechwood community has lost a truly special neighbor and friend. Dana Cushing passed away this week, and whether you've lived here for one year or thirty, whether you're young or old, chances are you have at least one cherished memory of Mr. Cushing.
Perhaps you attended one of his beloved Easter egg hunts after he personally delivered a flyer to your home to make sure you knew you were welcome. Maybe you visited his property at Christmastime to admire the lights, explore the treehouse, and wander through the barn filled with cookies and treasure boxes. Or maybe your favorite memory is simply of him stopping to chat whenever he saw you in the neighborhood.
Mr. Cushing embodied the very best of what it means to be a neighbor. Through his generosity, warmth, and genuine kindness, he brought people together and created lasting memories for so many families. His absence will be deeply felt throughout Beechwood, but his spirit will live on in the traditions he created, the friendships he fostered, and the countless lives he touched.
Dana showed us what it truly means to be a neighbor. His generosity, warmth, and unwavering kindness brought people together and created traditions that will live on in the hearts of so many Beechwood families.
Pictured here is Dana doing what he loved, chatting with neighbors in his barn during the light tour he hosted for BNA members this past December. We will always remember the magic of that night at his gorgeous Beechwood Street home.
Our hearts go out to his family and loved ones during this difficult time. Thank you, Dana, for making Beechwood a better place and for giving so many of us memories we'll cherish forever.
You will be deeply missed, but never forgotten. 🕊️
