Beau Martin Liggett

Born on May 7, 2012, in Bradenton, Florida to Brooks and Beth Liggett, God called Beau home to be with his daddy on June 16, 2026. From the beginning Beau was a bright, bubbly, and happy little boy - full of life, health, and a sweet, playful spirit. His first word was “mamma,” and he found joy in the simplest things, like jumping on the trampoline, enjoying his favorite meals, and spending most of his day outside. His light and love were felt in everything he did.

Beau’s life took a different path at 27 months old when he was diagnosed with severe regressive autism. He became nonverbal and required special care, but his light never dimmed. While we quietly grieved the future we had once imagined for him, we also learned to embrace and celebrate the beautiful boy Beau continued to be. Though he could not express himself with words, Beau always found his own ways to communicate- making sure his needs were known and his desire for fun and adventure were fulfilled.

Car rides were among his favorite things. Whether it was picking up his favorite drive-thru treats from Chick-fil-A or rolling the windows down to feel the wind on his face, these simple moments brought him so much joy.

His love for swimming shined through every chance he had to splash in the water, play with his pool toys, and simply be carefree. The laughter that echoed from him during those moments were pure happiness.

School was another place where Beau truly thrived. Through art, music, and P.E., he found ways to express himself and experience the world around him. These treasured opportunities were made possible by the teachers and peer buddies who loved, taught, and guided him along the way. They gave him a comfortable place where he could simply be the Beau we all know and loved.

Home was Beau's safe haven. It was there, above all other places, that Beth, Brooks, and Jaclyn made sure he could live his very best life and be himself. Every inch of their home was thoughtfully created, modified, decorated, and even renovated with Beau in mind. It was a place filled with unwavering love, endless patience, and unconditional acceptance. There, he was nurtured with attentive care and a healthy lifestyle--as a family they celebrated every accomplishment, comforted him through every struggle, and he was given every opportunity to experience life as fully and joyfully as possible.

There are countless other moments where Beau's gentle spirit and kind heart touched everyone around him. Most importantly, he showed those he loved just how deeply they were cherished through a language that was uniquely his own—a language of smiles, laughter, affection, and a love that needed no words at all.

We know that Beau’s reunion with his daddy was one of great joy and peace. Seeing Beau healed and whole was everything Brooks ever wanted and worked toward for his son.
