I remember Larry as a very caring and Christian man. I considered him to be one of the kindest and most honorable men I have ever known. I will always be greatful to Bevo for everything that he did for me and my family.
Hi Kay & family,
Tim & I were so sorry to hear about Larry’s passing. We thought a lot of the two of you while we lived in Jette Meadow “across the valley from us” and know that Larry and you are “Good Christian Folk” & wonderful neighbors. May God bless you as you remember your life together and give you His Peace which passes all understanding.
Sue & Tim Arneson
Our condolences to the entire extended Beaver family. Tracy, Cindy, Abbi, & Jeff Dooley
Condolences from all of the members of the Polson/Ronan Gideon Camp. We want everyone to know that Larry’s heart included winning the lost to Christ and he did this by participating in this ministry. He held key cabinet positions and was responsible for raising a lot of funds to supply Bibles and Testiments for a lost and dying world to read. Isaiah 55:11
love you Uncle Bevo.Miss you

Bevo, realy enjoyed you. You were such a great bull shitter, had such a good attitude and made me laugh a lot. Also insulated our home.
I know you are greatly missed. Summers I go visit from California to Montana to visit Jeanne Cockran and Hue Beaver at the cabin on the lake. My Mother is Charlene Brown of Bakersfield. I wish I had made my way to Montana sooner.
