Tomorrow you will have been gone from us for one year. We know you are watching over us from Heaven, but we still miss you so. You are never far from our thoughts and you are deep in our hearts, where we hold your love forever. Until we meet in Heaven, know that you are greatly missed and we love you so very much.
Love you always, JoAnna

Words can not express how much Mr. Beech will be missed by his anyone that ever met him. For me personally I am so thankful that he introduced me to wheelchair sports and I will cherish all the memories of him as a teacher, coach, and friend.
To his family, I am sorry for your loss Mr. Beech was a great man.

Jim Beech was an inspiration to me as an adaptive physical educator. His students loved him and knew that his whole heart was dedicated to doing what was best for all of his students. He is a legend in the P.E. And recreation fields. He WAS the Big Orange Games! His peers always had respect for his devotion and knowledge. My prayers go out to his family.
