Jack Beaton, 54, of Bakersfield, California, was killed shielding his wife from gunfire at the Route 91 Harvest music festival. Jack Beaton laid atop Laurie as gunfire erupted outside Mandalay Bay in the Sunday night attack. “He enjoyed camping, often in Pismo Beach with friends and family…” wrote Karen Sallee, whose son was Beaton’s neighbor. She described him as kind and fun-loving, and said “he could be tough talking, but inside he was soft.”
