Dustin Beck Obituary
Dustin Isaac Beck
February 11, 1988 - December 26, 2024
Our family is heartbroken to share the passing of Dustin "Dusty" Isaac Beck on December 26, 2024. Born on February 11, 1988, in Tulare, CA, Dustin was a beloved son, brother, uncle, and friend whose presence brought joy and laughter to all who knew him.
Dustin spent his childhood and formative years in Tulare, where he attended elementary, middle, and high school. A driven and accomplished individual, he earned a bachelor's degree from UC Santa Barbara before setting his sights on Austin, Texas, in 2011. Drawn by the city's booming economy and vibrant social scene, he and a friend made the move, and Dustin proudly called himself an "Austinite" ever since.
Dustin dedicated his career to logistics and operations, working with electronic companies in the Austin area. Outside of work, he was an active participant in rec leagues, playing kickball, softball, and pickleball. He enjoyed mountain biking and was a passionate sports fan. A loyal Dodgers fan, Dustin was rarely seen without his signature Dodgers hat. He also had a keen interest in the stock market and investment trends, always looking for a way to make his money work for him.
Known for his outspoken and opinionated nature, Dustin had a teasing sense of humor, especially with his nieces and nephews. He had a competitive spirit when it came to any family game, earning him the nickname "The Great Bambino". At the same time he showed a deeply caring heart and was a loyal friend to many. He had a special place in his heart for family dogs, forming bonds that were as heartfelt as they were enduring.
Dustin is survived by his loving parents, Dennis and Pamella Beck; his siblings, Teri Votaw (Jeff), Tami Jacobi (Siebren), and Blake Beck; and his nieces and nephews, Anneke, Jared, Thys, Marijke, and Julia. He is also remembered fondly by numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and countless friends.
A memorial service to celebrate Dustin's life will be held at a future date.

I never met Dustin in person, but we worked online for multiple years selling sports cards to each other. We were able to bond over our passions, and he was always able to make me laugh and smile with his jokes in between deals. May you rest in peace Dustin, you will never be forgotten.

Happy Birthday Dusty- wishing you peace, love and joy in Heaven.

I have know Dustin for his entire life because his father is my first cousin . I really got to know him well when my 3 boys started doing fun things with certain groups in high school which included Dustin . He and my middle son Daniel were very close and Daniel would fly to Austin to have fun with Dustin and his Texas buddies and his Tulare buddy Brad Neeley . We have a very large extended family and there are many rascals in our family . Dustin is the rascal ( I mean this in a totally good way) in his immediate family . He has a lot of charm and I could always tell when we were in the same place that he was thinking about his next thing to do to really enjoy that moment in time . The sideways smirk that he often showed couldn´t hide his fun personality . I pray that all of his family and friends can somehow find comfort at this extremely difficult time . Rest in peace buddy and I look forward to someday again share time and space with you . Our souls never die they just become part of another existence . Chris Beck

After knowing Dustin for 15 years where I met him while working at TeleDynamics, we immediately became great friends. Dustin was a kind hearted soul who would do anything to help anyone in need. Dustin always made me laugh and I loved him as a brother and best friend as we had recently gotten even closer over the last the few years. I really miss you Dustin and I am devasted. Your family is in my prayers and not a single day goes by where I don't think of you and miss you. Dustin had so many friends as he was a wonderful person and he will be truly missed. My condolences to everyone who got to spend time with this amazing gentleman. I will never forget you, Dustin and I truly miss having daily conversations with my best friend.

I met Dustin many years ago shortly after he arrived in Austin, TX, when he joined a softball team called the Plagiarists. We must have played ball together for 10-12 years on nearly every Thursday night. Dustin made the perfect teammate - always showing up ready to play and have fun. We also hung out on the weekends catching sports events like baseball or college football. Dustin had a sharp wit and great sense of humor. I recall much laughter with him at the ballfield or running around town. My sincere condolences to his family.
