He was born in Crawfordsville on September 29, 1960, the son of Kenneth R. Beck Sr. & Edna Sue (Burton) Beck.

Mr. Beck’s family moved to Texas and he attended Garland High School in Texas. He was a very hard worker and worked for Gracon Construction Company in Texas for many years. He also worked for Systems Construction Company and Acuity’s Brand Lighting in Crawfordsville.

An awesome man that is and was loved by so many is gone too soon. He inspired so many by always putting a smile on your face and love in your heart. Mr. Beck was known for the phrase “you’re looking lovely today ma’am” or “has anyone told you how lovely you’re looking?”
