I worked with Knox in the Baytown Chemical Plant from 1968 to 1972.  Knox was always enthusiastic, kind and supportive.  I admired him as an effective leader and good person.  

I saw him only once after that, at the Taste of Texas restarant about 10 years ago.  I could sense that he was still the same wonderful person.  I know you miss him as will all who knew him.  He left a great legacy.

With admiration, Doug Gehrman

We were so sadden to learn about the death of your Father, Diana. Please know that T. Mike and I are keeping you and all of your family in our thoughts and prayers at this time. Truly-Deborah Bair Jones

I worked for Mr. Beavers from 1971 until he retired.  He was always for the working person always fair with th e Union too.  Many a time he had to go out in the field to srrighten our a problem that management had done in the field.  He was always, always fair with everyone,management or workers.  He will b truely missed by everyone he came in touch with.

Diana and Kay,
I read about your father in today's Houston Chronicle and I am so sorry for your loss. It is clear he was a really special man and so well loved by those of you in his long and happy life.  My prayer is that you draw on the comfort and support of many wonderful memories, a strong faith and your close loving family. May God bless you.

Kay and family,
 I'm so sorry about the loss of your father.  I know a loss at this time of year is especially hard...I know you and your family will take this time to relish the wonderful memories you have of your dad.

What a great guy that knew how to bring up three great girls. We will miss him and look foreward to seeing him in heaven for 18 holes

Diana, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Your Dad was a Great Guy! Celebrate his life!  Jerry

Grand Knox, as I affectionately knew him, was a true southern gentleman.  He always had a ready smile, a kind word and an open heart to me and my family.  I will cherish many fond memories of him, most especially the twinkle in his eye when he called me ""Tiger.""  Grand Knox and Grand Polly 'adopted' me as one of their girls and I am forever blessed by their love for each other, their family and their friends.  Thank you, dear God, for precious Knox T. Beavers.  I love you, Grand Knox!

Diney, Kay & Libby - Dear sweet friends, how we know personally the sadness you feel and the brokeness of your heart at the passing of your sweet little Daddy. We were so privileged and grateful to have known him and Polly during the years we lived  in Houston (and even though you were in Austin, Libby -- it was like you were always there). Who could ever pass Felix on Westheimer or Ninfa's on Navigation without thinking of them!  Their boundless zest for life was only a manifestation of the joy and security of their salvation in Jesus Christ.  We are holding you all close in our prayers and know you are now experiencing the unfailing love of our precious Lord -- that band that you cannot see but most assuredly feel at this time.  Cling to each other and your precious mother as you celebrate the life of one of God's dearest servants.  A finer legacy could no man leave than you three  -- his wonderful daughters. 

We love you all so much.

Mel & Ronnie

Love and Blessings to Polly, Diney, Kay, Libby and ALL your family! ""Mr. Beavers"" always treated ""us boys"" so well during our years of coming over to your house in Jr. High and High School. He was a gentleman and a great example of a dad with daughters. As a dad of two daughters now myself, I count Knox as a mentor. He always had a great and loving relationship with you ""girls"". I also know Knox was a man of outstanding faith and was a wonderful spiritual leader of his family. Our days in Baytown together will always be great memories for me. In our church we commemorate ""All Saints' Sunday"" and remember those ""saints"" who have gone before us into heaven. This year I will remember ""Knox T. Beavers"" with great joy and respect. Again, love to you all.

   Mom, James, Debbi, and I along with the girls  give you all giant  hugs.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time.
We are out of town for Xmas and will be in touch when we return.

Libby, Kay and Diana,

How blessed were you to have Knox Beavers as your Dad?  As you know,K C and I saw your Dad once a year at Scott's birthday party at Felix's over the last twenty years.  What a gentle, kind man he was and what a wonderful trio of daughters he and your mother raised.  You all have wonderful families that he got to see grow up and even see a few great grandkids.  While I know you will all deeply miss him, you have so many great memories to cherish that will last until you see him again.  God bless all of you, our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I just talked to Libby and Scott and   have beeen assured that we can toast a glass to kindness cheer for old lang syne.  The family sounds as good as one can expect and best of all my very best friend, Mary Claire is coming.  I hope you will all join us  to support 
Libby and Scott and each other as  another new year arrives with gawd only knows what  to expect!!!!!!!!!!!
    It's Felix's,   at the corner of Montrose and Westheimer.

Dearest Polly and girls:
Judy and I send our warmest love to each of you.  Knox was one wonderful guy.  You two made such an impact on MBC.  May the Lord continue to uphold you in your loss.  In Christian love,
Malcolm and Judy Henderson (Even 
though we have moved from Baytown and from MBC, you still are in our
hearts.)

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of the family.  May his memories never be forgotten.
