Beau loved Harley Davidson Motorcycles and he passed away doing what he loved most. He was a medic in the US Army and he was a kind, thoughtful and generous man. He has one daughter that was a very small child when he went to be with the Lord. He was only 22 years old when a pulp wood truck ran over him on his Motorcycle. His sister has since rebuilt that bike In Loving Memory. We loved him so! He will always be in our hearts and on our minds. He was a Sundowner MTC Club Member but always wanted to be a Hell's Angel and was trying when he was run over by a pulpwood truck. Always in my heart.
I love you Brother!!!
