Read MoreI knew Chris from playing college at Western Maryland College. It has been years since we had spoken and I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear this news. Please know that Chris and his family are in my thoughts and prayers. Rest in Peace Chris; your life's work will surely carry on through the students you taught.

Chris, pal from college/NYC/grad school days - I will always fondly recall your eclectic ear for music, love of the written word, that audacious drive to render the mundane interesting - and even those somewhat suspect ukulele skills. Thank you for those lively days.

Dr Beyers, known for challenging students academically, had a very kind soul. His passion for helping students in honing their writing skills was extremely apparent. He was always willing to spend extra time with me, insuring I would succeed. I am very sad to hear about Dr Beyers' passing. May his spirit continue to light the way' for Assumption students.

Professor Beyers taught one of my favorite classes I ever took at Assumption (Senior Seminar Survey of Edgar Allen Poe). He pushed me to produce some of the best writing on my college career while in the class. I really appreciated his approach to that class, which let us make our own discoveries and incorporate our own interests (mine at the time was the film Crimson Peak). Rest In Peace, Professor.
