David Beck, Jr. Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Apr. 4, 2025.
David Lee "Dave" Beck, Jr. passed away on February 21, 2025, in Germantown, Tennessee, at the age of 59.

For 25 years, Dave worked as a Restoration Project Manager in Memphis, Tennessee. He shared 32 years of marriage with Mary Michele Sprawls Beck of New Orleans, who was employed with International Paper in Memphis for three decades.

An avid outdoorsman, Dave found his greatest joy in nature-casting a line in his favorite fishing spot or tracking game through the woods. Known for his skilled hands and steady craftsmanship, he could fix just about anything and earned the affectionate title of "Grill Master" from many.

He leaves behind his son, Tyler, and two daughters, Makayla and Miranda. His legacy continues through his three grandchildren: Sawyer, Lucas, and Zoe, who brought immense joy to his life.

A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, April 5 at noon at the Gaudet family fishing camp in Port Sulphur, Louisiana. Friends and family are invited to gather and honor Dave's memory by sharing stories and remembering the moments that made him so special.

Though he is no longer with us, Dave's love, laughter, and adventurous spirit will live on in the hearts of those who knew him. Rest easy, Dave-the woods and waters will forever hold your spirit.
