Dear Beckford Family – Our deepest condolences and expressions of love from the Perez clan. We’ve lost a very special man who walked with and knew the Lord in such a deep way. So blessed to have known him as a friend, a co-laborer in the Kingdom, and as a social work colleague. Had the privilege to have him as an MSW intern, and as a LIFE Cell Leader during our years together at Bethel – what a heart of compassion and love. Got to officiate the 10th anniversary renewing of vows between he and Lisa…man did he love his bride and children. Just an exemplary role model to all of us. He will be missed in so many ways.
Dear Beckford family. I send all of you my deep condolences. You have been & will continue to be in my daily prayers. Paul was such a good and gentle man. May he rest in peace. Please take comfort in the fact you have an angel looking out for you.
Dear Kevin, Linda, Kim and Family: It’s hard to understand why people are taken away from us. I pray you find comfort in knowing that Paul was blessed to be a part of a well-loved family and lived a great life. May the many memories sustain you through this very difficult time. I love you all dearly.
Dear Lisa, Paul Christian and Olivia Faith,
Words cannot express what a wonderful man Paul was. From the moment we met, his love for God and of each of you reverberated in everything about him. I was blessed to have ended up in the same training class all those years ago. I have never known anyone with a heart as pure as Paul’s. God bless and sustain you all.

As a co-worker of Paul, I had the highest regard for him. He was an excellent co-worker and team player. He will be missed. I will pray for the family.
Condolences to the family. Paul was a great co-worker and a great spirited person to be around. He always provided me words of encouragement, showed me multitude gratification as I completed my Master’s Degree, and was a huge motivator to always remind me to keep my faith in every thing that I do. We also had our very own handshake that we made up and every time I think of it I will always remember him.
