Beverley ‘Bev’ Steven Hamel, of Walkerton, passed away at SBGHC-Walkerton, on Wednesday, April 23, 2025.  He was 60. 

Bev was born in Hanover on June 15, 1964, to Orville and Kathaleen (nee Schuknecht) Hamel.  While able-bodied, he enjoyed living life the fullest, and loved all things fast during his childhood and teenage years - fast cars, and snowmobiles were his favourite.  Bev attended school in Chesley, and enjoyed participating in various sports and cheering on various sports teams throughout his life.  Bev had an unfortunate accident in his late teenage years, which left him confined in a wheelchair the remainder of his life.  Even still, he enjoyed life the best he could, time with family, and his fast cars.  He will be missed. 

Loved son of Kathaleen Hamel of Walkerton, formerly Elmwood.  Fondly remembered by brother David (Brenda) Hamel of Chesley, and sisters Patricia Thompson of Clifford and Katharine Hamel (Dave Fallis) of Williamsford, as well as many nieces and nephews and their families.  Predeceased by his father Orville (2002), sister Heather, and a brother in infancy.
