Honoring David Lloyd Beard's Unapologetic Spirit: Help Us Arrange His Final Journey

Dear friends, family, and compassionate supporters,

We gather here today to celebrate the life of an extraordinary individual, David Lloyd Beard. Born on October 31st, 1960, David was a force of nature—a man who lived life on his own terms, unapologetically expressing his thoughts and feelings. He possessed a rare quality that Offended some but never-the-less we cherished: he was genuine and unwaveringly true to himself. Sadly, despite his desire to donate his body to science, unforeseen circumstances arose due to his hepatitis C/cirrhosis diagnosis. Now, it is our responsibility to ensure that David's final journey is carried out with the same boldness and authenticity that he embodied throughout his life.


For those fortunate enough to have been touched by David's presence, you understand what a remarkable soul he was. His unfiltered honesty and unyielding nature left an indelible mark on the lives and hearts of those around him. David had a way of making everyone feel alive and challenged us to embrace our true selves. Today, we are called upon to honor his legacy and give him the farewell he truly deserves.

Unfortunately, the unexpected complications surrounding David's wish to donate his body to science have presented us with a new challenge. We now find ourselves in the position of raising funds to cover the costs of his cremation and the shipment of his ashes to his beloved brother. We believe it is crucial to uphold David's wishes and ensure that his journey to the next chapter is as remarkable as the life he led.

How You Can Help:
We recognize the power of community and the impact that collective support can have during times of need. Each contribution, no matter the size, will make a significant difference in helping us fulfill David's final wishes. Our goal is to raise $1,500 to cover the expenses associated with his cremation and the safe delivery of his ashes to his brother. By joining forces, we can show our gratitude to David for the profound impact he had on our lives.


In times of loss and sorrow, every act of kindness shines like a beacon of light. Your generous contributions and support during this difficult period mean the world to us. If financial assistance is not possible for you at the moment, we kindly ask that you share this fundraiser with your network and spread awareness of David's story. Together, we can ensure that his memory lives on, cherished by all.

In closing, we extend our heartfelt appreciation for your love, support, and generosity. May David's free spirit continue to inspire us all, reminding us to live authentically and fearlessly.

With deepest gratitude,
Maggie Melton, David Weltman, Marlo Boyles, Holly Boykin, Ron Graves and the loved ones of David Lloyd Beard

Thank you for your compassion, support, and understanding. Together, we will create a beautiful remembrance that truly reflects the impact David had on all of our lives.
