Lauren and the entire Beck family,
Judy and I grieve with all of you in David’s passing! We will continue to hold you all up in prayer. I remember so well the first time meeting him to talk about ministry in the ECC, not imaging then that he would someday be my pastor - in addition to friend and colleague. We learned so much from him thru his teaching and the way he lived his faith! Even in his suffering he inspired us keep our eyes on Jesus. May God sustain you by his grace and thru the comfort of the Holy Spirit. With love - Wayne n Judy

I’m so sorry for the loss of your dad, Lauren. My heart breaks for your mom, brothers at your profound loss. I’ve known your dad for over 25 yrs...his deep love for God, good guy persona and infectious humor have left a wonderful legacy. Please know I will continue to pray for you and your family for Gods sweet comfort, peace and rest.

Lauren- your dad was our associate pastor at Life Covenant and we loved him dearly. He’s made such an impact on this world and was a real encouragement to me through his blog as our family journeyed through health problems. He brought so much light into this world and his faith was incredible! Your family will continue to be in my prayers!

Lauren, your father and I took all our first -year courses together our first year in the Graduate Program in Religious Studies 1992-93. I admired your father for his intelligence, compassion, and faith. I was also enriched in my faith by reading his posts in Caring Bridge. You and your family are in my prayers during this time.

I hope you will find a way to publish your father’s posts on Caring Bridge because they would be helpful for others to read.

As a fellow Covenant pastor I am sorry for your loss. May God’s peace and presence comfort your family, church and friends around the world. David was faithful in his teaching on dying, suffering, honest feelings and trust in our Savior. Peace be to all loved ones of David. Bill

Thank you, Lauren. Your Dad was a very special man as you know. He will be missed but not forgotten. I truly appreciated his daily writing throughout this journey. He set a fine example for us to follow. I will pray for you all during these times.

Thank you Lauren. Your dad was a dear friend and a good, good man. I'm so proud of him - how he taught people to live, and even how he taught people in his dying. Love you guys, and praying for you all -

What a man after God's own heart. I am so sorry for your loss and grieve alongside you all. I'm thankful for the confidence that we know he is with his Creator whom he loved so much. He fought the good fight and finished well. Praying for you during this tough season!

We grieve with you, Susan and all your family the loss of David, who has helped us listen more attentively to the Lover of our Souls. We honor your sorrowful journey ahead.

He is and will always be an amazing example of what walking in faith looks like. My heart grieves the loss of such an amazing person, even as Heaven rejoices his homecoming. Much love and prayers to your family.
