Jamin Wade Beard

Our beloved son Jamin Wade Beard, 20, went to be with Christ Sunday afternoon. He and his brother were in a situation where one had to make a choice for the sake of the other. After talking with his brother, Jamin made the decision. John 15:13. His parents, Dr. Scott and Wendy Beard; brothers Elim, Jaren and Euell; living grandparents Dr Rodney and Mary Beard; as well as so many devastated cousins, family and friends miss him beyond words. Jamin was preceded to the Lord by his Papaw and Mammee, Bob and Nancy Goodwyn.

First and foremost Jamin loved Christ and was striving to serve Him and bear trials that were upon his life with grace. He was growing so fast through trying and patience in the Lord. He wanted so much to be a help to those who were still in bondage. His devotion in his Bible time that morning was convicting him that his trials would help others to be able to be able to live in the freedom Christ has given.

Second Jamin loved family and friends. He showed himself friendly and had touched so many lives. From those age 2 to 92 he was always friendly. Even as a 4-year-old he would seek out the loneliest person in a room and go share stories with them.

Third Jamin loved sharing and he loved snacks. He always had hidden reserves of snacks even when he thought he didn’t. Jamin wanted to make sure you had snacks as well! He wanted to help you with whatever you might be working on and would put in long hours to do so.

Jamin loved first responders and enjoyed his ride alongs. He and his brothers Elim and Jaren worked alongside each other in his business and helping each other and many more.

Memorial services will be held in Lovington, N.M., at First Baptist Church on Saturday, Feb. 11, at 2 p.m., and in Nevada, Mo., at Bible Baptist Church on Wednesday, Feb. 15, at 5 p.m.
