Gary Beikirch served our nation with dignity and grace and has left us with the same. In this season of celebrating family, May we remember and honor his sacrifice for us- and take a moment to thank God and Gary for his service.

He will be missed. As
@MikeCatalana
says— He was “that guy!”
We are a stunned and broken news family. There’s a lot of disbelief and tears and pain for the sudden and unexpected death of our friend, colleague, and brother Matt.
In an industry of fast deadlines, he took that time to make you feel like a freshman befriended by a senior.
