Condolences, love and prayers for the Beaudry family on the loss of a childhood friend, who lived across the street (kiddy corner) from us Southside of Wolf Point. I remember playing Army, Cowboy and Indians on stick horses enjoying our youth! Johnny Wayne as he was called was a good artist from his heart. Rest in God’s peace my friend. The grass withers the flowers fade but the word of God stands forever. Amen.

Nathan, you will always be my nicimos, we spent many fine years together and a few not so fine! We traveled many roads together, saw many beautiful places. Your skillful artwork hangs in my home and your memory looms in my heart. It is difficult to believe I will never see you again in this life, but I am glad we were able to reunite over the past few years. You were a very dear friend and I am saddened by your passing. I know my tears will fall for you but I also know you rest without pain, worry, stress or anxiety in the arms of Jesus for evermore now. God rest your soul and protect your loved ones ❤️
