Bryan Jean Beauchamp

Beauchamp Family,
First off my family and I want to give our dearest condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Mr. Bryan was a wonderful man I am happy I got to know him even though the time was not long enough. Mr. Bryan was a very loving and caring man and he loved his family more than anything! Every time I think of Mr. Bryan, I think of his last word "Trust." Mr. Bryan had a trust in God that he would never deny for anything in the world. One thing I...

Emily, To understand Bryan, you'd have to understand the place where he grew up...St. Peter's, with Dominican sisters for every year in grammar school; also, growing up literally in the shadow of St. Peter's Church and under the influence of its holy pastor, Msgr. Eyraud, who was a legend . His early formation molded him so that he had strong family values and you can see why he was such a great right-to-life advocate. That's who Bryan was.

It is going to be very hard to watch LSU football games this year. Mr. Bryan and I would aggravate Mrs. Emily and the girls so much talking about football for hours. Sometimes politics, but mostly football and even some Hornets basketball. I laughed yesterday hearing how the NFL had its first woman referee in a preseason game. Mr. Bryan would have loved that! Hopefully I will have a boy so I can talk his head off just like I talked Mr. Bryan's head off about sports and daily life events....

Emily, I can't express all that Bryan means to me...let me just say he was such a great example of what a real man should be! I hope all our boys will remember his goodness, kindness, faithfulness, perseverance, humility, and the happiness and peace with which he lived each day. He knew what life really was and he accepted it and brought a WHOLE lot of joy into it!!!!!

Emily, and girls. My condolences to you all. Bryan was such a wonderful person. He did the CD for Jennie's wedding. We will always remember Bryan. Saw you all last at a wedding. Bryan was in good spirits, looked great, never expected this. Bryan was such an outstanding man. Always smiling, proud of his family and devoted in his faith. He will be greatly missed by many. May the wonderful memories that are now the treasures of your heart carry you through this difficult time.

Emily, I think, I hope, you know how I feel. You and Bryan have always been a part of our lives, since that day in 1970 when we met at Southeastern Hall. So many good times, so many wonderful memories. I am afraid to "pull them out" because it still hurts too much. The tears are rolling as I write this but they are both tears of ssdness and tears of joy. Bryan had told me on several occaisions over the years that he was "ready to go" whenever the Lord saw fit. I always fussed at him and...

I always appreciated the fact that Mr. Bryan was always willing to go out of his way to engage me in conversation. Being an introvert, I always appreciated that about him. He was always interested in what was going on, whether that was current events, sports, cooking, the latest news on your life, how things were when he was growing up, etc.

I also remember how proud and excited he was when we went to his house for Leah and Jonathan's engagement announcement. Mr. Bryan was always...

Bryan made the absolute best andouille in the world! We sure will miss it! Of course we will miss Bryan more. We have so many cherished memories of the children and our families with Bryan and Emily. Bonfires, blackberry picking, homeschooling, field trips and so much more. Bryan was always a joy to be around. We sure do miss him but are so grateful for all the wonderful memories we have of our family with him. Much love from Frank & Michele Kot, Laplace Louisiana

Even though I've known Mr Bryan my whole life, I always think of him as when we were young. Mr Bryan Was such a present role during my childhood through the stream of BBQs, bonfires, camping trips and pool parties that he initiated. Mr Bryan never failed to make whatever the event was, memorable. He had so much personality, along with integrity. I looked up to, and loved, Mr Bryan. I loved him like an uncle and think back on what an upstanding, as well as outstanding person he was. I have no...
