Christopher Becker Obituary
Chris was born in Torrance, CA on April 13, 1966. He attended Whittier High School graduating with the class of 1983. He earned a Bachelor of the Arts degree in Business from Cal Poly Pomona. Chris worked as a CPA for the last 15 years and was a Senior Auditor at Bank of America.
He enjoyed participating in anything and everything to do with the outdoors. He loved swimming, camping, fishing, racing and tending to the 8 acres of land he shared with his wife, Renae, 7 dogs, 2 horses and 2 barn cats. Although it was not uncommon to find Chris pulling weeds, riding his green tractor, playing with the dogs, barbequing and video-gaming, he loved spoiling his wife most of all. Whether it be a simple act of washing the dishes or cleaning the house, he did it with a BIG smile (and often a goofy dance) knowing it would brighten her day better.
Chris was also very passionate about his participation in church and selflessly committed his life to Christ and becoming a person God would be proud of. He was an admirable man with an innate ability to selflessly help others which is undoubtedly one of the largest lessons we learned from his time with us.
He is survived by his loving wife Renae Becker of 12 years; stepchildren Ryan Wilson and Karly Chung; his fur-children Tommy, Ellie Mae, Minnie, Becca, Nash, Miss Kitty, Peanut, Bob, Sherbert, Moses and Andy; sister Andrea Becker; sister Kim Becker; brother Rick Becker and his wife Yvette Becker; niece Lauren Becker; nephew Garrett Becker; brother Brian Becker and his wife Lynn Becker; niece Demi Becker; brother Bob Becker and his wife Linda Becker; brother Sterling Cross; sister Lyvette; and stepmother Orpha Becker.
Words cannot describe how greatly we will miss our Chris. We seek comfort in knowing he is reunited in heaven with his father, Robert Becker and his stepmother, Jean Becker. We are so thrilled he will have the chance to meet Nascar driver, Dale Earnhardt Sr.
We love you with all our hearts, Chris; we will see you again.

I was overwhelmed with sadness hearing of Chris' passing. My sincere condolences for your loss. I had the pleasure of working closely with Chris during the last 2 years. He was always so positive regardless of the circumstances. I can still hear him telling me, Whatever you need me to do George, I will do it. I warned him that his office number was the only one I knew by memory, and he laughed and said, Whatever you want me to do George, just call me. He just had an incredible positive attitude and I will definitely miss him dearly. Rest in peace my dear friend. My God continue to be with the family during this difficult time.

Renae, please accept my most heartfelt condolences on Chris' sudden passing from this world, and for the deep pain and sorrow that you and your family are experiencing. Each of us is given a certain measure of time in this life, how much, and why, being up to God, but we know that there's never-ending life and joy awaiting those of us who love Him and place our hope and trust in His Son Jesus. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God give you the strength to endure this very difficult time.

Chris, I can't even tell you how heartbroken I am. I always saw you and Mike as Al's brothers. And it was so easy to understand why because of your pure heart. Everyone should be as kind as you, Chris. You leave a void in so many people's lives now, and that says everything about you. Renae, may God comfort you and heal your spirit. One of the last things Chris told me is that he can never say no to you. He adored you. God bless you and all who loved him.

To my brother from another mother of 28 years, I can't fully express how empty I feel without you around. I will forever miss our times of hanging out, visits to Kern and all the laughs we had in front of the TV doing what we enjoyed. We have had many up
s and down's together and seen the high's and low's of life, there was not much me you and Mike didn't experience together but always remained friends and I will miss that too. Most of all I will miss your spirit as anyone who has ever been around you will attest you had an amazing spirit and laugh that brought such a positive feeling and joy. May God bless your family, may you rest in eternal peace and I pray that one day I will see you again.

I had the pleasure of getting to know Chris Becker when I came to Countrywide and Bank of America. He was one of the first contacts I had when I began to work for the bank. We found many similarities shared and points of views, and thus, we were able to understand and build a great relationship. Chris was such a people person that it was quite easy to get to know the real person that he was and build on that relationship. He was readily accessible and always willing to assist in any manner he could. I also had to pleasure of working with him on an Audit where I was able to see his leadership style and the kind of honest and sincere person he is (not was because he is still that person no matter what).
To the family, I'm sure he was a blessing as he was to all who came across his path. May God be with you during this difficult time. My deep condolences.

My prayers are with the Becker family. I was fortunate to work with Chris for many years at Countrywide/Bank of America. He brightened every day with his smile and positive outlook on all things. He always spoke warmly of his wife, family and home; there was such love in his heart for Renae and his family. May God continue to be with you in this difficult time.

I was so sorry to hear of Chris's passing. Working with Chris over the years has been a privilege. I am thankful to have spent some time with him in person during our travels, especially since we are on opposite coasts. Chris was always positive no matter how things were going. You could even tell he was smiling over the phone. I loved hearing stories of his trips and all the animals at home. He will be sorely missed.

To the Becker Family,
Chris is remembered as a father to Ryan and Carly and a husband to Renee. He is known as a man willing to sacrifice furthering his career to meet the challenge of being available at home to assist with growing a business. He was a mentor willing to provide information and leadership. A friend who is willing to provide a ear to hear and be slow to speak and when he did speak it was from the heart. A believer in the Lord Jesus Christ that his sins where forgiven. I send this to assist in providing assurance that although we lost someone we love God gained someone he loves so let's rejoice and be glad in knowing what Chris stands for and who he is. My prayers are definitely with the family in this time need.

Thank you Renae and Karly for putting this together. My baby brother would love the pictoral tribute you created. He was a very happy and upbeat man; one of the good guys. I cannot describe the loss as it is so fundamental to my soul. He is with Jesus now in the kingdom of love so we can all take heart in that.

I have had the blessed pleasure of knowing Chris for only 3 years. Not only was he my neighbor but I truly considered him my best friend since moving next door. Chris was one of those people that comes into your life and brings so much love and friendship to everyone around. Chris was always willing to lend a hand and drop anything to help you if you needed him. Anytime we would go out of town I could always rely on Chris to feed our horses, dogs and look after our house. Chris would always send me a text every morning and night letting me know he had done so. He often attended our family and friends get together barbecues and became friends with everyone around. He would sit on the couch with my stepdaughter and watch Nascar and both chat for hours. Chris always made sure he saw you when he drove by with a honk a smile and a wave. He shared his dream with me weekly about getting a Porsche and would always let me know how many days were left. He was so excited about that. I recently bought his Honda from him to give to my daughter and he went above and beyond to make sure I got a great deal. We settled on a price and shook hands. It was only a few days later he had taken the car and put new tires on it because he did not want her to have a flat or worry about buying new ones. I offered him more money but he would not take it. He asked me what kind of music my daughter liked so he could make a cd and have it ready for her to play. He even changed the license plate frames for her liking. This is the kind of wonderful person he was.. Chris had a way about him that made you feel good to be around him. I will miss his friendship so much. I am so glad he was a Christian man because I know he is ok. I'm sure he has touched many lives because he sure did ours. Thank you Chris for coming into our lives. Rest in Peace.
