Firm Mourns the Loss of Colleagues Donald J. Beuttenmuller Jr. and Edward F. Tancer

Donald J. Beuttenmuller Jr., January 12, 2021

Donald J. Beuttenmuller, Jr., Gunster’s former managing shareholder, general counsel and close friend to all, passed away on January 12, 2021. Don was an integral member of the Gunster family. He dedicated his professional life to preserving Gunster’s unique culture. In August of last year, Don celebrated his 40th anniversary with the law firm. He served as Managing Shareholder from 2001-2008, during which his steady hand guided the firm thru a difficult transitional period. After his tenure as managing shareholder, Don became the firm’s general counsel, where he became a mentor and confidante to many Gunster attorneys, while also providing sage advice to firm management. Don’s wisdom, quick wit, institutional knowledge and big heart will be missed.  (Read More)


Edward F. Tancer, November 22, 2020

We are deeply saddened by the sudden and tragic loss of our colleague and dear friend, Ed Tancer, who passed away unexpectedly. Ed was an outstanding attorney, who went above and beyond for both his clients and for Gunster. Ed was also a tremendous community leader and had a special calling to help the less fortunate. Ed’s mission in life was to make a positive impact on every person he met and to help as many people as he could. Ed will be remembered for his great accomplishments as a lawyer, his passion for our community and his devotion to his family and friends. Ed will be deeply missed by all who knew him. (Read More)
