Harry Beaton was never played better than Rain, back at Bear Creek High School. I'll remember him always and the good times we had so many many years ago. Till we meet again, my elusive butterfly.

Our electrifying bluebonnet son, Texas made&born.

Rain&I were a family from July, 1988 until 2000. When he was taken TO Minnesota, this did nothing TO break our strong family ties. We cannot afford TO be there on person TO bid our final farewell, but only TO his failed body, Rain's spirit continues TO live in each Of us who knew & loved him well. Death, The cruel thief Of life, but NEVER love!

Rain was a dear soul, a sweet and gentle man, a fine artist, as well as a creative human being full of deep thoughts and exhuberant expression of his love for life. He will be deeply missed by his friends here in the Excelsior community.
