Tribute: Minnesota Law mourns the passing of David Beehler ‘85, former partner and trial lawyer at Robins Kaplan

Minnesota Law mourns the passing of David Beehler ‘85, a former partner and trial lawyer at Robins Kaplan for 35 years. Beehler served as a member of the Robins Kaplan Executive Board and as a trusted ethics partner for many years. Beehler was instrumental to some of the firm's most significant victories including Unocal and Kraft Foods/Mondelez vs. Starbucks. He was born Aug. 7, 1958, in Benton County to Raymond and Evelyn (Johnson) Beehler and grew up on a family-run dairy farm, milking cows alongside his four brothers and sister.  David loved nothing more than chopping down trees at his farm, “Camp David,” playing dinosaurs with his grandson, listening to country music, and watching the Vikings with his son, Max. He was a graduate of St. Cloud State University and the University of Minnesota Law School. 

Funeral Services will be held 11:00 AM, Tuesday, January 9, 2024 at Maywood Covenant Church in Foley. Rev. John Lasson will officiate and the burial will take place at Maywood Cemetery, rural Foley.  Visitation will be from 4:00 to 7:00 PM, Monday, January 8, at the Foley Funeral Home and from 10:00 to 11:00 AM at the church.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 43 years, Tina, his children, McKenzie and Max, and his grandson Otis.
