    Beau and I started school at Jessieville within days of each other. From the first time I met Beau, in the hallway in 9th grade, up until the last time I spoke with him he always had a way of putting a smile on my face. He will be so very deeply missed, i'ts hard to imagine a world without his big smiling face, his witty jokes, and smooth come backs. My prayers are with the rest of his friends and especially his family as they go through this rough time. I will miss you so much my sweet friend, until we meet again.

    We did not know your son Beau, but we regret the sorrow you feel as we have borne the grief of losing a 21year old son who died in a motorcycle wreck . We can tell you that as time passes you will be able to remember more of the good times and dwell less on the loss of Beau. We found that each person grieves in a different way and at different times, so we encourage you to allow for those differences in your families. We are of the Christian faith and even in our pain we came to understand that God is still sovereign. May you find comfort as you walk through this “valley of the shadow of death” and may friends share their good memories of Beau with you.

    I just found out today through facebook about my dear friend Beau. I am in Atlanta or else i would have been there today...i am very sad i found out so late. I knew Beau my whole life. We grew up going to St. James together and we always had a connection. Weve stayed in touch all of these years. I just talked to him when he was here in Atlanta just a few months ago. I cant describe how much i am going to miss him. I dont think i ever met his parents officially, but i am SO SO sorry. He was always someone i knew i could count on. He had a loving caring and funny spirit. He was like my brother. Please if anyone from the family sees this could you get in contact with me, i really would like to know what happened. I am devastated so i cant imagine how you feel. I wish i could be there today. 501-590-6443

    Beau and my son, Mark, were friends when they were both in daycare together in Little Rock. I also used to see him occasionally at my church, St. James. I remember Beau as a wonderful, friendly child with an infectious smile. He always made my day a little brighter, just by his presence. I am sorry for his loss and will keep his family in my prayers.
