Nicholas P. Beecher

Hi all, Nick Beecher coming to you with one last "view from the couch" special edition. "View from the stars"

On Thursday at school I wasn't feeling right, then all of a sudden a beautiful sight. I can't even explain all I see up here to you, but Jesus is here, did you know he died too? He's showing me around cuz this is His home and already there are so many people I know. Grandmas & Grandpas, Uncles & Aunts. So many to love. It's so cool to get the chance.

I miss you guys. I really do but I can't come back. I have work up here now. I can see all my friends. I hear when you talk to me too. Jesus says that's praying. I wish I could talk back to you, but guess what I tell Jesus all your stories. He knows all of you too.

Don't be sad for me. Remember all the cool things I did. Boy scout camp, fishing, bowling, roller skating, football, and school dances. I even ice skated and tried sledding this year too.

  I think my favorite though was when my buddy Jake would run super fast and pop wheelies with me to get across home plate at my baseball game. I tried not to giggle but it was too fun.

I have to go now. I love you all. Thank you for loving me back and making me part of your world. For now this is Nick Beecher signing off from heaven. I love you.

Nicholas Philip Paul Beecher, 12, of Little Chute, died unexpectedly May 21, 2016.

Nick was born in Neenah, WI to Sarah (Forster) & Ray Beecher. He attended Little Chute Intermediate School where he enjoyed learning alongside his friends.

  Nick was active in Boy scouts troop 51 where he had earned the rank of scout. He was included in everything. He camped, fished, volunteered, and supported his boys in many adventures. Nick also enjoyed Miracle League baseball, Challenger football, Inspire Sports camps, and so many other activities.

 Nick is preceded in death by his grandpas Ray (Beecher) & Terry (Van Ryzin), grandma Juanita (Martin), Uncle Brett (Van Ryzin) and Aunt Kerrie (Forster)

Nicholas and his family were wholly blessed when they found out his life would continue in 5 other people. Nicholas donated his heart, liver, kidneys, and eyes so that other children could also live full and happy lives.

Special thanks to our family at LCIS whose quick response in crisis made this possible. Also to fox valley metro, AMC hospital, and CHW-Milwaukee hospital who optimized Nick's care and let us have hope even while keeping us grounded in reality.
