Beau Daniel Mongold, 45, of Tulsa, Oklahoma, passed away unexpectedly and on his birthday, leaving behind a lifetime of memories, stories, and moments that will be forever treasured by the people who loved him most. Beau was born on November 25, 1980, in Tulsa to Jeri Crittenden and Danny Mongold. He was 15 months younger than his sister Brandi, and from the time they were little, the two were nearly impossible to separate. Their bond only grew stronger as adults, and the connection they shared was truly one of a kind. Later he was proud to be big brother to Matthew and Nikki and was very protective of them. Ever since he was young, Beau was curious about absolutely everything. He had a natural urge to take things apart just to see how they worked—sometimes causing him to get in trouble, but always learning in the process. That curiosity grew into a real talent. Beau could fix almost anything, and he had a gift for building things with his own hands. He showed his love in quiet ways, often through the things he made. If Beau gave you something he crafted, you knew it came straight from the heart.
He found simple joys in life and loved them deeply. One of his favorites was riding his mini bike. Even at 6'4", he’d hop on it with the biggest grin, looking like a kid again. Beau also loved spending time at the river, searching for arrowheads. He had an eye for finding incredible pieces—big ones, tiny ones, ones with beautiful detail. He kept them not just because they were interesting, but because he felt connected to the history and culture behind them. Native American artifacts and stories fascinated him, and he could talk about his finds for hours. More than anything, Beau loved being a dad. His two boys, Gavin and Carson, were the center of his world. After Christie passed earlier this year, Beau stepped up without hesitation to take care of Carson. He handled everything with strength and love, doing an amazing job even during one of the hardest times of his life. His family and friends were incredibly proud of the father he was and the dedication he showed every single day. Beau started his career as a welder, following his dad’s footsteps, but a back injury forced him to switch careers, he found a new place where he truly belonged: the maintenance department at Page Belcher Golf Course. He loved his job—the work, the routine, and especially the people he worked with. It meant so much to him to finally had found a job he genuinely enjoyed and could be proud of. What people will remember most about Beau, though, is simply who he was. He had a presence you couldn’t ignore—warm, funny, loyal, and unforgettable. He could make a room brighter just by walking into it. He was the kind of person you never forget, and losing him leaves a space no one else could ever fill.
Beau is survived by his sons, Gavin Edward Mongold and Carson Daniel Mongold; his mother Jeri Macdonald and her husband Kent; his father Danny Mongold and his wife Marcia; his sister Brandi Mongold and her kids Gabe, Kale, Hailey, Hanna, and Denver; his brother Matthew Mongold; his sister Nikki Young and her husband Jj and their son Coulter; and his best friend Jesse Lancaster, who was like a brother to him. He also leaves behind many cousins and countless friends who loved him deeply. Waiting to welcome him were Christie Fisher and her son Ashton; his grandparents Carrie and Ellis Crittenden; his grandparents Ray and Gladys Mongold; and his uncles Eddie and Freddie Crittenden and Jim and Tim Mongold. Beau lived a life full of curiosity, love, laughter, and simple joys. His memory will live on in the stories shared, thru the things he built, the lessons he taught, and the love he gave to the ones he loved. Thou his time here ended far too soon, the impact he made will last forever.
