Chris Wayne Beers

Dear Chris,

Words cannot express the realm of emotions I feel at the moment. On one hand, I miss you dearly. You were the light of my life always encouraging me to be more loving and compassionate. On the other hand, I'm happy that you were able to move away from the “pains” of this world. You were ah-ah AMAZING! I feel honored to have spoken with so many people who were touched by you. Without you, I don't think I'll ever be the same, but I know you'll be watching and guiding...

To the Beers Family,

I was both shocked and saddened to read of the untimely passing of Chris. I first met him at the LDS Church Office Building in 1989 when I would pass his counter on my way to the 14th floor lunchroom. I noticed a rare plant behind his desk, named the "lipstick" plant (when blooming, resembles a tube of lipstick swiveled upwards) which I fell in love with. He let me tend the plant for him while his area changed locations, but I soon made sure I had one of my...

Dear Family of Chris Beers,
I am sorry for your loss of Chris. He met a smile with a smile and a laugh with a laugh. I am almost twice his age, but he is a friend to everyone and is known at the University Hospital for his graciousness.

Dear Brother and Sister Beers,

I am so sorry for the passing of your son. Although I do not remember meeting him when we lived in WX 4th Ward for a short time in 1999 to 2000, he sounds like a wonderful and caring friend and son. I remember what wonderful and kind people you were. My heart goes out to you and your family. May the Lord bless you all with comfort, peace, and strength.
With love,
Gretchen Beers Becker

I was saddened to hear about Chris's passing away so young. He was a hard worker and trusted employee at Church Travel. I live in St. George and will regretfully not be able to attend his service. I pray for those who have lost a dear friend. Cal Smoot

Appreciated working with Chris when he was in Church Travel. He was always so pleasant and helpful. Sincere condolences to his family.

I was greatly saddened to hear of Chris' passing. He assisted me several times with travel matters at the Church Office Building. Chris was top notch in his duties at work a joy to associated with. Though I only knew him through these brief work experiences, I felt of his goodness. My deepest condolences go out to his near and dear ones. Thank you Chris for sharing part of your goodness with me in your travels through this life. Your presence is already missed.

I first met Chris about 22 years ago when the two of us worked together in Exploring. We had a great time planning events and training other Explorer Scouts on how to be successful leaders. We became immediate friends. We took that friendship beyond Scouting and spent a lot of time together.

I count Chris as one of my dearest and most sincere friends. He was like a brother to me and my siblings and another son to my parents.

When I heard of the passing of Chris this...
