Captain Beckham was one of the most distinguished and well-respected officers on the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department. That, along with his military service made it a privilege to be with him professionally and socially.

I served on the Jacksonville Fire Rescue Department with Captain Harry Beckham. He was an outstanding fire service leader. The Captain served his Country in time of War and his City in time of peace with courage and honor. May he rest in Peace.
