The Purpose of Creating a Memorial
Memorials provide a tangible and lasting tribute that helps keep the memory of a loved one alive. This preservation of memory can be comforting and emotionally fulfilling, allowing family and friends to feel a continued connection with the deceased. Memorials are a way to honor and celebrate the unique life and contributions of the departed individual. They serve as a reminder of the positive impact the person had on the lives of others. The process of creating and participating in memorial activities can be therapeutic. It provides an outlet for grief and allows individuals to express their emotions, share stories, and find support from others who are mourning. Memorials can help individuals and communities come to terms with the loss of a loved one. They mark the end of a chapter while acknowledging the lasting influence and importance of the person in the lives of those left behind.

In Memory of: Queen Mother
Queen Mother was such a beautiful and special part of our community at BeLoved. She shared with her heart, ALWAYS!
She loved to cook for the community. We will always remember her dancing in front of the oven when she opened it to find 2 golden brown turkeys to feed our neighbors on Thanksgiving day. We remember how she had a group of community kids mesmerized as she told them a story. She walked the neighborhood, greeting neighbors, cultivating plants, and caring for Mother Earth.
We hope she continues her great work now by INSPIRING YOU!

In Memory of: Matthew McInnis
Matthew McInnis cared. He had a beautiful, uninhibited, non-judgmental way of seeing people and connecting with them. He proudly lived a minimalist lifestyle and challenged the philosophy of modern-day consumerism. Matthew was very critical of and outspoken about self-serving institutional bureaucracies and how we all need to do better collectively as a community.
He searched out ways, small and large, to help people around him. He would often pull off the road to give a meal to a less fortunate traveler and opened his home many times for shelter and safe haven. Matthew frequently took his children to the camps down by the river to offer help, as it was important to him that his children understood the worth of a person is not based on socio-economic status.
Matthew leaves behind, the love of his life, Erin Ackerman; their three children, Connal, Maclan and Oonagh McInnis; his parents Tom and Pauline McInnis, stepmother Kathleen McInnis; two brothers, David and Liam McInnis; and his sister, Kaitlyn McInnis-Newman.
The Beloved Asheville mission mirrors who Matthew was and will continue to be, through his legacy of remembering the less fortunate people in our community.
