Tommy has to be one of the sweetest, compassionate, encouraging, trustworthy, lovable, caring, hardworking, playful, doting, selfless men I have ever had the blessing and honor of knowing. My dad even liked him and that was important. I will always remember you, Tommy, and will see you again soon.

Tommy was a wonderful person to be around. He always had something to talk about, and we carried on many conversations. Whether it was about work, music, family or motorcycles he could always keep you entertained. He is going to be missed greatly. He had a big heart and would always help anyone he could. He was a wonderful policeman as well. Cynthia, Alex, Hayden and the rest of the family know that the entire community is behind you and we will always be here for you. This is an unexpected and tragic loss for everyone. I will continue to pray for the family.

What could i possibly say about Tommy that hasn't already been said? I've known him since he was 5 yrs. old. His smile is what i always see when i think of him. He was just like a brother to me. A caring,compassionate, big teddy bear.I admire him greatly for the impact he has made while being on the police force. He has obviously made a difference in so many people's lives. He will be greatly missed. My love and prayers go out to Cynthia,Alex, and Hayden. I love you all dearly.

To Tommy's Family - Back around 94-95 I had to honor to meet and work with Tommy at Surry County 911 - Tommy was always laughing and making everyone else laugh - One of my best memories, was that every Saturday we worked together, Tommy would always tell me - "If the phone rings, you get it! I am watching Tom and Jerry!"
He will be missed by all -

I don't have the words to describe what a great guy Tommy was. I don't think I ever show him without a smile on his face. I count it a honor that I worked with and called Tommy friend. He will be missed in so many ways as a friend to all, police officer, husband and most of all great father. He so loved his family so, he was always talking about Cinthia or the kids. I know that it will be hard to go on without him but he would want you to live your life. You have a great family to help you and an extended lawenforcement family to help. Don't ever hestiate to call up on me to help. You and your kids are in our every pray.

We are sorry about Tommy. He was such a great friend to all, and an example for everyone to follow. He lived everyday to do
his job to protect and to serve his community to the best of his ability. Not setting behind a desk, but out on the streets as a true
police officer should be doing. We will always miss that big smile and wave he had no matter how bad things got. But most of all
we will miss his true friendship. He loved you all more than life and did not care on bit to tell you so. He wll always be missed,
and can never be replaced. God bless you all. you are in our thoughts and prayers.

There are no words to express how sorry we are about the passing of Tommy. We know that there is rejoicing in Heaven though! The ones left behind are the only ones who are sad. Tommy is having the time of his life and he is not looking back. This gives us comfort but it doesn't make us stop missing him or hurting. He will truly be missed. He will always be here in our hearts. It seems that he is just out on duty. It really doesn't seem real. We are here for you and those precious children. Let us know if you EVER need ANYTHING! Tommy was a good man and loved by everyone who knew him. He was always so kind and friendly. You knew when you seen him and talked to him that he knew the love of Jesus. Now he is on duty with the most High!! We Love you! You are all in our prayers and in our hearts always!

Beamer to see you laying there, it was way to soon. I know that God wanted you home with him. You had a heart of gold. I will miss the family reunions to know that you will not be showing up. Tiff and Angel loved you to death. They would always ask at the family reunions "is BEAMER going to come". It's going to be hard to go to them family reunions anymore. You were the best cop Ashe County, not saying that the others arn't. Cynthia just look Alex and Haden and you will see him. It will take time, I keep telling myself that too. Alex can remember all the things that they have done together, but little Haden won't. Maybe when he grows up he will follow Tommy's footsteps. HE IS AND WAS THE GREATEST FATHER, FAMILY MEMBER. You got very lucky to have found a guy like that. Love you all. If you need anything you can call me.

And you were still there when I got on scene. Tommy, I remember not having seen you for 3-4 years and then one day in Jeffereson (A place I had never been before) on Main Street feeling like some one was watching me...I looked around and thought I saw you on your tip toe looking my way as I walk out into the street we realized we were both right I ran to you and you picked me up in the middle of the street and hugged me....my kids were so small they were like mom hows that!! My friend....my Tommy Bear, I love you and I miss you. I am so glad that you hunted for me and found me again...your first face book friend... I will never forget all the times we did have together and I mourn the plans we had that will never be..I can't even think about camping this year ....knowing you will not be able to come with the family to visit now! You'll be forever in my heart. I know that you are at peace with God and I can't wait to see you there....<3

I didn't hear about Tommy til this morning or I would of been up there.He was and will always be in my heart. At our family reunions he was always the light of the room. He would do anything he could for anyone. Just think though, he is in a better place. He is looking down watching over, and he will always. I will miss him, but I know he is gone to be with God. There's no dought about that. He was a great person, I don't think anyone could disagree. If you need anything just let me know.

When I managed Westview Terrace Apts Beamer was always so helpful. He made me feel safe and renewed my faith in local law enforcement. He always had a kind word, big smile, and a laugh to go along with his greeting. He was a very special person and he will be missed very much. My prayers are with you. God Bless.

There are no words to describe this kind of loss. He was such a likeable fellow. I had just saw him yesterday afternoon crossing the street in town and I rolled the window down to speak to him, not knowing this would be the last time I saw him. Just goes to show that we never know when we will see somebody for the last time. My heart goes out to his wife and children. He was so proud of his family. May God comfort their hearts and give them the strength to face life without him. Family - take comfort in knowing that God's word tells us "to be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord." He is in a much better place than we are right now. His memory will live in our hearts forever.

laughing so hard we had tears streaming down our faces at some of the most idiotic stuff that happened in the comm center..... poker runs on hot summer days..... hearing you say you were going to be a daddy again, and it was going to be a boy!..... Beamer, you were larger than life! No one will ever be able to replace the void you left in all our hearts..... until we meet again my friend, may you bask in the pure radiance of Jesus' glory!

WHEN GOD MADE POLICE OFFICERS:
When the Lord was creating Police Officers, he was into His sixth day of overtime when an angel appeared and said, "You're doing a lot of fiddling around on this one,"
And the Lord said, Have you read the spec on this order? A Police Officer has to be able to run five miles through alleys in the dark, scale walls, enter homes the health inspector wouldn't touch, and not wrinkle his uniform.
They have to be able to sit in an undercover car all day on a stakeout, cover a homicide scene that night, canvass the neighborhood for witnesses, and testify in court the next day. They have to be in top physical condition at all times, running on black coffee and half eaten meals. And they have to have six pairs of hands.
The angel shook his head slowly and said, "Six pairs of hands...No Way."
"It's not the hands that are causing me the problems," said the Lord, "It's the three pairs of eyes an officers has to have."
That's not on the standard model? asked the angel.
The Lord nodded. One pair that sees through a bulge in a pocket before he asks, "May I see what's in there sir?" (When they already know and wishes they had taken that accounting job.) Another pair here in the side of their head for their partners' safety. And another pair of eyes here in the front that can look at a bleeding victim and say, "You'll be alright ma'am, when they know it isn't so."
Lord, said the angel, touching his sleeve, "rest and work tomorrow."
"I can't," said the Lord, "I already have a model that can talk a 250 drunk into a patrol car without incident and feed a family of five on civil service paycheck."
The angel circled the model of the Police Officers very slowly, "Can it think?" he asked.
"You bet," said the Lord, "It can tell you elements of a hundred crimes, recite Miranda warnings in it's sleep; detain, investigate, search, and arrest a gang member on the street in less times than it takes five judges to debate the legality of the stop...and still it keeps its sense of humor.
This officer also has phenonmenal personal control. They can deal with crimes scenes painted in HELL, coax a confession from a child abuser, comfort a murder victim's family' and then read in the daily paper how Law Enforcement isn't sensitive to the rights of criminal suspects.
Finally, the angel bent over and ran his finger across the cheek of the Police Officer, "There's a leak," he pronounced, "I told you that you were trying to put too much into this model."
"That's not a leak," said the Lord, "It's a TEAR."
"What's the tear for?" asked the angel.
"It's for bottled-up emotions, for fallen comrades, for commitment to that funny piece of cloth called the AMERICAN FLAG, and for justice."
"You're a genius," said the angel.
The Lord looked sober, "I DIDN"T PUT IT THERE,"
he said.
I know in my heart that God was very proud of His model of "BEAMER." My husband and son worked with Beamer for several years...FAMILY Remember that God is the One who will be there for you at all times.

Beamer was just one of those rare, genuine individuals who always had time for everyone. It didn't matter where you ran into him or how tired he was, he would take time to talk and check in. Anytime I ran into him, we would end up talking about family-whether we were both looking for kids boots at Wal-Mart or pumping gas at Wilco. Beamer was such a compassionate man who took the time to care about people, even calling to get advice on how to help someone he was concerned about-what a blessing. He is missed so much.

Dear Beamer Family,
Please accept our deepest and sincerest sympathy. My it give you some strength to know that you are in so many thoughts and prayers.
Officer Beamer was one of the kindest officers we had ever met. We had an instance where our vehicle was hit in the Walmart parking lot. In the midst of a stressful situation Officer Beamer made it much more easy to deal with and was helpful, kind, and courteous to all of us.
Thank you Officer Beamer for your devotion to the community you served.
Thank you, family, for sharing this man with our community.
Sincerest regards,
Dawn and Lilliana Mayberry

I am so sorry for your loss. Beamer was such a dear friend to me and I thought the world of him. On his vist's or his phone calls to the Credit Union he would always bring a smile to my face. On Friday, March 12th he came by and spent about 30 minutes with me and we talked about the past, of you and him dating and him pulling me twice in the same night for no headlights. He told me how much he loved you and what a lucky man he was to have such a wonderful wife. Cynthia he loved you so much. He also told me that it " should be a crime for you to look so good". I know we dont understand God's plans, but I am thankful for his plan of salvation that we all can accept and when we do that we have that promise to see our loved ones again someday. May Gods Grace be with you now and always. If you need anything please let me know. You are in my constant thoughts and prayers.
