Sylvester Beckham Obituary

My buddy and friend, Senior Chief "Sy" Beckham. I just found out about your passing...I want to offer my condolences to my friend. GOD bless you great friend and your entire family.

Kathy & O’Neal:

We share comfort in knowing “Sly” is no longer suffering. We send thoughts of sympathy and support to you as you begin your journey without “Sly”.

I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love.

I am going to miss my dear neighbor, as he was one of the best I’ve ever had, thus, I am very happy to have had such an honor.

With Deepest Sympathy,

Your Next Door Neighbors - Yolanda & Chelsea

Kathy and O'Neal,

You have our deepest sympathy. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.

To The Beckham & Kelly Families,
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding. Know in your heart, God is good all the time.

Our hearts go out to you at this time and in the days ahead.

I pray you will find peace, during this difficult time. Hold on tight to each other, and to those memories that will bring you joy.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Keep your hopes on things eternal, hold to God's unchanging hand...

Sy will be missed by many. He was a hard worker and a great provider. He was a former employee, but most of all he was a friend. You and O'neill will be in my prayers.

Kathy,
My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Ms. Beckham and family,
I was shocked to hear of Mr. Beckham's passing. We left Northside CS a few years ago, only to return this year. I will always remember those cold days on the soccer field, cheering for our children, then bragging about their peformances after the games. Jordan told me on on the 7th. I have to tell you that the world is a little smaller now. He will be missed. From the Irving family to yours, I give to you our deepest condolences for your loss.

Chad, Dana, Jordan and Taylor Irving

To Kathy, O. Neill and Family,
I just want to express my sincere sympathy in the loss of Sy. I know that you will miss him. Death leaves a heartache that no one can heal but love leaves a memory no one can steal. May you find peace and comfort in knowing that the thoughts and prayers of everyone that loves you is in abundance. Sherrell Nelson and Family

Crossing the Bar

Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,

But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;

For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar.

Sister Beckhan
To God be the glory for the things He has done. I am sorry to hear of the lost of your husband remember Jesus said, I'll never leave you or for sake you, but I'll be with you even until the end of this age.

With Deepest Sympathy

My dear Sister Kathy, O'Neal and the Beckham Family:

For his wrath is only for a minute; in his grace there is life; weeping may be for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
Know that the prayers of many are with you during these difficult hours.
May you find Comfort, knowing that your Loved one has found Peace.

Kathy and Oneil,
Hold on to God's unchanging hands and He will sustain you. In the days to come your memories will be what makes each day easier.

Mrs. Beckham and O'Neill,

We love you and are remembering you during this time.........

My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Mrs. Beckham and O'Neill,

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Mr. Beckham was always a very cheerful person. I know you will miss him.

I am praying for your comfort at this time. In Luke 4:18, Jesus said that He was sent "to heal the brokenhearted." II Corinthians 1:3 speaks of the Heavenly Father as "the God of all comfort." I trust He will be your Comforter at this time.

Mrs. Pellman,
One of O'Neill's former teachers

I am sorry to hear of your loss. I used to be stationed with Sylvester. I also used to always see him with his son. Let me know if I can help at all. May God continue to be with you and your family.
