Jason Beckman Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 15, 2023.



Jason Edwin Beckman, age 49, passed away on Friday, January 6, 2023 at his home in Golden Valley MN.
 
Jason was born on January 24, 1973 to Edwin and Kathy (Kruize) Beckman at Mercy Hospital in Coon Rapids. He lived in Andover and graduated from Anoka High School in 1991. Jason attended Concordia College in Moorhead, MN before working at Schmitt Music; he was also an Assistant Manager at a Wells Fargo Bank, and eventually became a District Manager for SuperAmerica Gas Stations, where he loved being the boss in charge.
 
Jason was a proud father, partner, friend, fighter, and stroke survivor. He had a huge smile and a wonderful sense of humor. He loved to joke around and make others laugh. Jason enjoyed playing the saxophone and was very proud of his marching band days. He was a handyman who loved using his power tools and building things like the deck on his house, a bunk bed for his older daughters, and a play structure for his youngest daughter. 
 
He was preceded in death by his mother, Kathryn Beckman; niece, Marina Cochran; and his dog, Louie.
 
Jason is survived by his father, Ed Beckman; partner, Darcy Buechler; sister, Jackie Beckman; daughters, Elizabeth, Cameron, and Ryleigh Beckman; neice, Montana Cochran; and his dog, Wilson.



 
A Memorial Service for Jason will be held on Thursday, January 19th at 11am at Grace Lutheran Church in Andover, with a visitation one hour prior.

Jason and I went to Anoka high school and Concordia College together. We both played saxophone in the Anoka band, but he was much, much better than me! He was a fine leader in the band program.

During our freshman year in college, I started a city soccer team (the Black Sheep) and Jason wholeheartedly agreed to be a member. We took time out of our study schedules to put the Livedalen Hall third floor study room to good use: we laid out garbage bags on the floor and spray painted our team name onto the way too thin white t-shirts. That was the only time us or anyone else used the room!

When the Twins were playing in the World Series, about forty of us packed into one dorm room and cheered on the team together. After the victory in game seven, Jason brought out his boom box and, with a tape of the Twins fight song, led a victory march/celebration down 8th street.

I am very grateful to have had Jason as my friend.

I am so very sorry for your losses Ed. I have fond memories of talking about out families and comparing notes as our children grew up. You are a remarkable father and husband.
