Bryce Beekman Obituary

A native of Milwaukee, Wisconsin and resident of Baton Rouge, Louisiana passed away in Pullman, Washington on March 23, 2020 at the age of 22 years old. Bryce was a college student who completed his Bachelor of Arts degree in Social Sciences at Washington State University and was considering graduate school. He was an accomplished collegiate football player who was loved by his teammates and coaches. He was a dear friend who touched the lives of many people in Wisconsin, Louisiana, Arizona and Washington. And he was a loving son, brother, grandson, nephew and cousin who will be forever missed by his family.

Bryce is survived by his mother Julie Jackson and his younger brother Reece Beekman. He is also survived by his father Demetri (Maria) Beekman. He leaves behind his grandparents, Tom and Carolyn Jackson and Ron and Girlee Beekman; his aunts and uncles, Jeffrey Jackson (Kirsten Dellinger), Chris (Laura) Jackson, Dimas Jackson, Adelaida Jackson, Sher-ree Beekman and Sherron Beekman; and 3 cousins: Lillian Jackson, Benjamin Jackson and Alexander Bowling.

I did not know Bryce well, I know he was absolutely loved by his class. He was a senior and I was a freshman, one of his friends was in one of my classes and occasionally Bryce would pop his head in to say hi to him. He was loved by all grades, including many people in my grade. I often think about Bryce, I know he is at peace. All my love to the Beekman family

Our deepest sympathies to all of Bryce's wonderful family. My son and us got to spend a lot of time with Bryce during his formative years playing basketball and football. We are still shocked that such a bright light of promise and talent left us so suddenly. May you find peace and serenity through your faith.

Ms. Jackson and Reece,

Thank you sharing Bryce with me and my family. He was one of my best friends, we had a bond that not many people get to have. He was a big brother to me and my sisters and always there for us. We have so many great memories over the years. I miss him so much, but believe he is looking down on us all with that great smile.

Bryce, you've always been the sweetest kid I've ever met. You're always on your best behavior and representing yourself and your family well. I can only assume that God took you so soon because you were authentically ready to be his soldier. We will miss you here on earth. May God be the glory. Love you .
