My nephew Michael loved many things.
  Fatherhood,family,friends,and music topping the list. He was just as comfortable in the outdoors as he was in a Suit &Tie. He possessed charisma and  the best sense of humor ever.He loved laughter!
 He always seemed to be laughing, flashing that coy charming  smile., those beautiful brown eyes .I will think of his laughter and  try to smile.
  We will forever miss him,💔

I am a teacher at Trinity and had LaBeau in class...twice I think.  His impression on me was one of profound kindness and good will.  He inquired of others with genuine interest and was so easy to talk to.  He was proud of his family (talked of grandpa who was an NFL coach, maybe?) always.  This word my sound trite but I speak it with such sincerity and the word that comes to mind when I think of Michael is "delight."  My spirit was always lifted a little from having been around him.
   I am stunned and leveled by the news of his passing.  I didn't keep up with Michael at all after graduation; he just moved on to the next adventure in my mind.  I'm heartbroken for all the loved ones he left behind and hope is final days were ones of comfort and peace.
    Brothers for Life,

Michael was one of the sweetest people in the world.  He was a true friend to my son and spent many happy moments in our home. My heart goes out to his family.  How much you will miss him 💔

I had My Son, My Sunshine, 8-18-90, at St Anthony Hospital in Louisville. He was a true Leo with a wonderful disposition, and rarely cried. He had no reason to , I adored him completely, and would go to the Moon to get him a piece of Green Cheese if he so desired. 
First, he was the Vocabulary King at Zachory Taylor. Then , The Home Run King at Lyndon Ball Park. Due to my own Mother's close proximity, physical, menta,l and emotional  support and devotion, he was known as " Prince Michael"behind her back. He lived a charmed life, swimming at Plantation, Exploring Briarwood Park, Recieving the CSA Arrow of Light, Studying Karate with a humble and kind disposition and word for everyone he encountered. He prayed to attend Trinity High School, with several childhood friends. Took the last minute admission exam and his prayers were realized. He found Faith and Fellowship at Trinity and returned from Senior Retreat an avid Christian.  Unfortunately, he was  I'
Ill prepared  for the harsh reality that life, and some people  can deliver. He was a MOST devoted father, from painting and refinishing the floor in the nursery, being present at the  Birth of August Elizabeth LeBeau and a constant, daily Loving presence in her life for the first 5 years. They adored  each other completely. I  remember her saying "I could never be mad at you Daddy" and neither could I. 
The Man had a Heart and Soul of Gold . I am  so Proud and Honored to have been He, and Daniel's Mother. I Thank God each and every day for the labor of love and happiness. God's Speed Son , until we see each other again. Love Through Time and Space, Mother. 


I had the honor of meeting Michael in March of 2020, which is something I will forever cherish with the utmost sacredness. Michael and I naturally gravitated to one another almost instantly, and we discovered a once-in-a-lifetime connection that we shared within, and explored so deeply and beautifully. It was as if we had known one another from a past life, and were destined to meet once again, in divine time. It didn’t take longer than a few days for us to develop a very strong bond, one that would typically take years to form. Michael was as authentic as they come. He was a true gentlemen, who proudly wore his heart on his sleeve, and strongly valued equality and compassion for all human beings. Michael genuinely conducted himself with a strong respect and love for life in general; and with the wisdom to understand and accept others. The world would be a better place if more people were like Michael. He is the definition of a One-of-a-kind, true to the bone, irreplaceable human being; with such a bright energy and high frequency of spirit. On the second night I spent with Michael, I saw god within him, and was moved beyond measure by the very pure, strong, and promising energy he radiated in all directions constantly. Michael seriously had something so special and rare about him that anyone around him was filled with his sweet, light, and loving presence. Everyday I spent with Michael was a new adventure. He was simply hilarious, kind hearted, and easy going. Literally every single moment we shared was filled with excitement and surprise, and true love. Soul to soul. Michael opened himself up to others and wasn’t afraid to be vulnerable, which gave off such a calming, safe, and peaceful vibration. It was easy to be yourself with Michael. He will live on in all of us who have had the blessing of knowing him, and have been touched by his rarity and will forever be electrified by his essence. Until we meet again, my dear, Charles Michael LeBeau. 

My favorite memory of Charles, but I called him Charlie, and he said "my Grandmother called me that", was he wanted to play basketball with the men where we stayed. He got on his knees with hands up in prayer , so childlike and innocent with those beautiful eyes, he needed one more person before he could go to Gym. He begged me to come with. I really do not think anyone could have denied his request. Of course I said yes! I watched him play.  I loved him from the moment I met him. As a mother loves a child and for his MAMMA he spoke of you often and loved you so much.  We will all meet him again.  He helped me thru the hardest time of my life. I will consider him an GUARDIAN ANGEL! 

My little Mikedoodle, you have always had the kindest heart, full of faith and love.  You were always too big for this world and God chose you to come start your true service way too early, but I believe your work is not done. Rest Easy  and please watch over us, as I know you are❤ Shine on You crazy diamond......You are missed  greatly but will never be forgotten. I will cherish every memory, every silly song,  joke, and  most of all your beautiful  brown eyes, smile and laugh. 
......I love you more than words can tell; listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul.....


I met Charles in early Febuary 2021.  His "light"  shined so bright and I could really feel Christ in him.  I am so sorry to read of his passing.  Memories of him will help to ease the suffering his family must feel. I will always treasure my memory of him.
