Gary B. Beikirch

Gary was a great patriot and human being. He had a strong faith in GOD.

After twice reading the book, BLAZE OF LIGHT, my most important thoughts I gleaned are the examples of the power of prayer in Gary's life and the legacy he leaves for us in that respect.

The first time I met Gary was at a Special Forces Association convention in in either Harrisburg or Carlysle, PA. I always enjoyed being in the company of Gary and his wife Lolly. Gary was a great American, a great role model for all and a great follower of GOD.

Thanks for your service to this country and for your contribution as a counselor at Arcadia Middle School. I won´t forget the times we talked. I was glad to be part of Team Beikirch.

Thank you for being part of our life. God Bless your family.
All in Jesus name!

I believe God put me in touch with Brother Gary and Sister Lolly through the Internet, because he and my husband, also a 5th Group Special Forces Vietnam veteran returning to America in 1971, both went to the Holy Bible for all of life's answers--Gary in his cave and my husband in remote rural Texas. Because of their sincere seeking, both men are examples of what God can do with humble hearts. I would like to offer sincere sympathy to the Beikirch family on behalf of my husband and myself, and express my appreciation for the emails received, inspiring my efforts to honor our veterans at my school.

Dear Lolly and family, so so sorry to learn about Gary. He was an angel here on earth. My love, thoughts and prayers are with you all. Love you cuz, Jill and family

To a true Hero. He taught us all about life, caring, and friendship. God bless you SGT Gary Beikirch.

My husband Ken and I loved Gary, all he stood for, and his humility and love for the souls of mankind. Ken is now with the Lord and I know he agrees with me. RIP Gary.

You kindness, your concern for others, and your dedication touched thousands, and made their lives better. Knowing you for the past 4 decades has made me a far better person.
I will miss your smile, your quiet strength, and yes, your love of mischief.
Rest easy, Gary, the battles are over...

We wish to extend our deepest condolences to the Beikirch family at the death of Gary. He was the best man we have ever met, patriotic, brave, kind and deeply spiritual. He lived his faith and was an example for the many students and teachers who knew him. Rest in the arms of God, Gary.

Thank you, Gary. Your loving and caring heart and soul have helped and saved so many of us. You will live forever in our hearts and never be forgotten.

Gary was a friend, a true American hero, but most of all he was a good and decent man who made those around him better people just for knowing him. Rest in Peace!

It has been an honor to know Gary and his life has had a profound, positive effect on us. We know he is with the Lord and look forward to seeing him again.
