Demonte Lain Beckham

Sweet sweet sweet sweet Tae. I will miss absolutely everything about you. Your life, your smile, your voice, your face, your unwanted but needed lectures. I always said you made me feel like I was getting in trouble when you told me about myself. I needed those talks honestly. You pushed me to do and be better and I'll always cherish those memories. Life cheated you for sure. I love you -Cici-

I pray God will give this family strength and comfort as they face the days ahead. Hold his son close and share the joy of memories that will keep his parents close to his heart.

It's crazy that you're not here. You made me crazy growing up, but you always made me smile. We always had a good time, I remember watching all you guys at the skatepark acting like fools. We had no idea we were in the good ole days. Praying for your family and your son. Rest easy Tay. Ryan Verlander

Demonte and my son grew up together. It feels so strange that Demonte has left this world. He was loved by so many.

Condolences from your Ohio Family ... I am very sorry for our loss of our great nephew, Demonte. I did not know him well but nonetheless I am pained by the loss of someone so young and full of promise. God Bless his soul, his family & friends. Uncle

Sorry for you lost Tony. You will be in my prayers. Dodie

We wish we had the words to comfort his family but they don't exist. Effie and Robert Burge

God bless the family. All are in our prayers. George and Tina Brown.

I still can't believe my brother is gone. From our days at Crawford and catching the lextran to woodland to skate all day and take the 11:10 bus home. You used to push me in skateboarding to make me jump down crazy stuff! I remember Heater dropping us off at the dollar movies to meet two girls off of AIM and giving us advice. We shared clothes, shoes and skate gear until you got way bigger than me. I remember starting off our summer days with toaster scrambles and Citrus drops. I remember you getting into cars and then refusing to wear anything other than polo HAHA. You touched everybody you came into contact with and always knew how to put a smile on peoples faces. I never knew how much I'd cherish our few hours together eating wings and dying laughing right when you made it home recently. I always loved you like a brother. So sorry to the family for your loss.
