With deep sadness, Pioneer Products announces the passing of our former President, Jim Beere. Jim dedicated over 50 years of service to our company. He was the voice of Pioneer and believed the employees deserved the spotlight. Many of our employees and our entire company are better today because of his guidance and passion for our industry.
Above all, Jim was a family man and instilled these values at work every day. Throughout his career, he worked proudly side-by-side with his family and mentored generations of team members. He helped everyone feel valued, leaving behind a legacy rooted in the strong relationships and community he built.
A visitation will be held on Thursday, September 3, 2026, at St. Paul the Apostle Parish, 6400 Spring Street, Racine, from 10:00 a.m. until the Mass of Christian Burial at 11:00 a.m.
Please keep his wife Kathy and the entire Beere family in your thoughts and prayers. If you have a personal memory or story of Jim, we would be grateful if you shared it in the comments below.
