Reflections for Corporal Michael Douglas Beverly
I knew Michael from college known as “Bev”.
He was an individual that used humor to bring unity especially to our soccer team w/ played together.He named
Me “Lazybones” due to my hustle on the field which stuck going forward.
Saddened to hear of tragedy knowing he was a very giving person.
My thoughts & prayers are to his family. No doubt he s an Angel above looking down & watching over others like he did hear in this life.
Will miss ya “Bev” never forget the journey we shared w/ attending NCJC & was fortunate to cross paths in this life hope to see ya in the next !

I am watching the story of how Officer Beverly was killed in 2001 . This was a senseless act that left a wife a widow and children fatherless not to mention a community and fellow officers who no doubt looked up to him. May you rest peace.

Seeing the photo of Cpl. Beverly with his family tells his story...a smile so emblazoned with joy he most likely created a star in the heavens when he left the earth! Reading the wonderful accolades from his fellow officers, friends and especially his children on this page offers a loving view into Cpl. Beverly for those of us unfortunate to have never met him. I am grateful.

I just watched a TV show about Officer Beverly's murder. Such a terrible thing to happen to an obviously well loved man, and good police officer.

Bev,
I’ve always considered you my first partner. You were a terrific beat cop. As your partner, I learned how to police the streets aggressively and fairly. Many of those lessons I still apply to how I deal with people to this day.
You will always be missed, “shield 96”

Mike, I still remember talking to you while we where getting are brakes replaced and telling you to come out to the County in work and warning you it ain't the marines and that I made the adjustment so I'm sure you will to, shortly afterwards you Connie and a few others left for Chester PD. Prior to the tragic night you lost your life. I still remember you pulling over for running a red light on 9th street. that was the last time we spoke. It didn't seem real at work when Kyler told me what happened. Years later your still missed and never forgotten. Smep Fi brother.
