Tommy Beavers Obituary

Tommy Beavers was born in Conroe, TX on August 14, 1997 and passed away in the arms of his sister, surrounded by his loving family at Texas Children's Hospital on June 2, 2013. Tommy was a vibrant young man of 11 years, who loved to play baseball, football, and hunt, when he was involved in a tragic ATV accident on December 29, 2008 which left him with a traumatic / anoxic brain injury. Tommy was an inspiration to many during the next 4 1/2 years as he valiantly fought through surgeries, hospital stays, and more doctor visits than imaginable. His bravery and faith was the foundation of the strength which kept his family going each day.

Tommy was a proud Willis Wildkat and received much support from the school district, teachers, and his fellow students as well as the Willis / Conroe area community during his journey.

As that journey quietly came to an end and Tommy flew away home on the wings of angels, his family watched in amazement as his sweet face took the shape of the child they had known prior to his accident, and he smiled sweetly, giving them peace that he was now healed and in the arms of his Savior. Fly Tommy Fly!

Tommy was preceded in death by his grandparents, Wendell "Tommy" Thomas Beavers and Marvin and Anne Thayer; uncle, Otis Meekins; and his great grandfather, Bill Rough. He is survived by his loving family: parents, Billy and Sarah Beavers and Craig and Jill Meekins; sister, Brandi Beavers; brother, Cody Stalsby; grandparents, Susan Beavers, Jerry and Tillie Meekins, and Greg and Karen English; aunts and uncles, Jason and Wendie Bauer, Cathy Thayer, Mark Thayer, Barbara Vandewerker, Donald Meekins, Sam English, Tim and Maribeth Hammer, and Alex and Betsy Borger; and cousins, Dillon Bauer, Jennifer Pace, Steven Vandewerker, Chris Vandewerker, Hannah Thayer, Jessica Richter, Steffanie Meekins, Eric Meekins, Phillip Meekins, Kayla McCool, Danny McCool, Nathan English, Rachel English, Shannon English, Benjamin Hammer, and Krista Roberts. Extended Family includes numerous nurses, doctors, therapists, and friends that have become a part of Tommy's life.

Serving as pallbearers will be Richard Currie, Donald Meekins, Frank "Bud" Brooks, Mark Thayer, Greg Lea, Ken Martin, Donnie Simmons, and Keith McMullen. Honorary Pallbearers will be Judge Trey Spikes, Sheriff Tommy Gage, Chief Jim Green, Detective Stewart Hightower, Chris Moydell, Wayne Norman, Dennis Bonner, and Jim Simmons

Friends are invited to visit with the family from 4:00 until 7:00 pm on Thursday, June 6, 2013 at the North Montgomery County Community Center, 600 Gerald Street and Lincoln Ridge, Willis, Texas. A celebration of Tommy's life will be held at 1:00 pm on Saturday June 8, 2013 at The Ark Church, 450 Humble Tank Road, Conroe, Texas. A reception will immediately follow at the same location from 2:00 until 3:30 pm. Then, the family will escort Tommy to his final resting place at Conroe Memorial Park for a short graveside service at 4:00 pm and invite all who wish to attend to join them. This celebration of life will be casual and the family requests that you come as you are to "celebrate" Tommy's life.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to be made to the Tommy Beavers Memorial Fund at Capital One Bank in Conroe, Acct # 8230670979 to be used to support Tommy's graduating class of 2016 at Willis High School.

Tommy you will be missed! You were my lil'buddy and words cannot express the grief I am feeling. I find some relief in knowing you our with our Heavenly Father and are without pain. I am praying for your family and hope too that they can find some relief and comfort in God's word. Tommy you are a fire-cracker, still a good boy and if God did not need you more than us on earth you would still be here. You are a special angel now with camo wings and a bag full of baseballs. You will never be forgotten. Kisses, which I know you do not like but still receiving them from me, Toni

TOO SOON

Too soon the passing of one I don't know.
Too soon to tell the way he would grow.
Too soon the tears that water his grave.
Too soon the memories that love ones must save.

Too little time spent in his youth.
Too little time to find the real truth.
Too little time in mom and dads arms.
Too little the world knew of his charms.

Too sad the moment of saying good by.
Too sad the moment of love ones that cry.
Too sad the loss at times we must face.
Too sad it couldn't be me in his place.
