To Paul Vargas- thank you for taking the time to know about the young man whose bench you sat on for a moment.
Beau was very loved and missed everyday.
Our parents once lived on Hope St which is just across the park from where this bench sits. It was hard for them to move away from this spot.
Knowing someone took the time to stop and search his name really helps to keep his memory alive.
Thank you

I read the comments from those who knew you and you are still so very much missed. My Deepest condolences to your family and friends

Another Christmas has passed and you would of been 29. Many things have happen since you passed. I met a wonderful man, Erik. We got married 2 yrs ago. In Sept, I gave birth to another nephew. We named him Matthew. Can't wait to get him a superman cape.
Buster is now 13 and working towards Eagle Scout. He still wants to follow in your footsteps. He is even talking about going to college in New York. I miss you a lot still and I love talking about you.
You are so loved.
Happy 29th birthday little brother. Sending my hugs and kisses to you in heaven.

We came across Beau's memorial page on the internet today and deeply saddened by the loss of your son, brother, and friend. We didn't know Beau but met him when he was a toddler in Escondido California. We remember him fondly as a sweet and joyful child who loved his family and little pit bull puppy very much. Our hearts are broken.

My dear sweet Beau, We miss you so! It seems like just yesterday when you said "get your motorcycle license mom, let's ride". Well, I didn't quite finish before your sudden and unexpected passing. So, I now ride your 'very personalized' bike - awesome. You were right - I love it. Each time I ride, I feel your presence. Thank you Beau for the joy you brought into my life - I really wish you were still here to brighten my day.
Dad misses his 'weasel'.
Love you and miss you deeply.

Happy 26th Birthday, Beau. Just thinking...you were born in Encinitas (known for growing Poinsettias - 'the Christmas plant') and you passed at home in Providence (defined as the foreseeing care and guidance of God or nature over the creatures of the earth). How fitting for a beautiful soul such as yourself. You are sorely missed and deeply appreciated. Rest in Peace.
Sending my love to Kim, Sue, Tiffani, Buster, Beau's girl and his many other loved ones. Wishing you all a peaceful, Holy Day.

I still to this day I get the urge to call your phone just to hear your voice. Its so surreal that you are gone. Sometimes I dream that I am at our parents house in RI and you walk thru the door with a big smile on your face. Some days are easier then others as long as I stay busy. Your nephew is growing up so fast it scares me. Sometimes when he smiles at me I can see you in him. He talks about driving your motorcycle when he grows up. He has your ability to talk with many different people of different ages and status. He also LOVES fact books just as you did. You use to love reading the Encyclopedias and National Geographics. Buster had a choice yesterday at school to pic a comic book or a national geographic on civil war. He picked the NG. He was so proud to show me and tell me about it. It was AMAZING. I love you and miss you every day. Your sister Tiffini

I worked with Beau briefly at the Steak 'N Shake in Rolla, MO. I just thought of him today and was looking him up on-line and am very sorry to hear about his passing=( He was a very cool person and touched even the lives of people he briefly knew.

The two things we remember most about Beau are his eyes and his smile. His eyes were so intense, they hid the kindness behind them. That was until he smiled and then he filled the room with warmth and friendship. He is thought of often and greatly missed.

Another holiday is passing and all I wish for is to hug you and tell you I love you. I miss you more then anything in this world. To put it in words that your nephew said I love you so much this world can not contain it. Your nephew loves and misses you also. He likes wearing your old football jersey's to bed. Hugs and kisses little brother.

Beau, I can't believe your gone...A week ago you me and meredith were all going to John's wake. I can't believe that I'll be going to yours today. I will never forget you or your kindness. Work isn't the same without you, you made work so much fun. I love taking our breaks together so we could stand outside and freeze and talk about stuff or in the summer just hang out and you'd always tell me all the plans you had for your bike.
To Beau's family and meredith :
Beau was a wonderful person. He was one of the sweetest people I've ever met. I can't tell you how many times he's opened the door for other people, offered his coat, etc. I'm so sorry for your loss...
Beau, I don't think I could forget you if I tried...I'll see you someday I know you and John are looking down on everyone and smiling. REST IN PEACE

I'm sure words can't begin to describe your loss, but know that Beau touched each and every person's life he ever met. His charm, wit, intelligence and spirit will not soon be forgotten. I will miss him greatly.

Beau was simply magcial. He had the power to render external appearances meaningless; and transform the common place into works of beauty. Perhaps that was his essence; he saw what was truly there, the good in all people and splendor in the universe. He used photography to unveil these truths for others, and we are the better for his short time on this Earth. If life is about leaving the world a bit better off than it was when we got here, Beau, you succeeded.

You never realize how close two people can be until they are so far apart for so long. When I called the parents of the finest man I ever knew and they tell me that when he became an EAGLE SCOUT, He sayes the only thing that would make it better is if I were there to. Kim,Sue and Tiffini I love you and to BEAU I never forgot our friendship. I love you, see you in heaven.
