Matt Beckman Obituary
ST. LOUIS, Mo. - An angel entered God's loving arms unexpectedly on Saturday, Aug. 10, 2019.
Matt was loved by many and returned that love unconditionally. He was kind to all those he encountered and had a beautiful soul. Although Matt was only 29, he lived a very full life.
Matt is survived by his mother, Susan (Bill) Bonanni; father, Barry Beckman; two brothers, Michael (Danielle ) Bonanni and Steven (Caitlin) Bonanni; grandfather, Richard (Janice Masterson-Sayers) Sayers; grandmothers, Jan Sayers and Mary Ann Beckman; and many loving aunts, uncles and cousins. Another special person in Matt's life was Melanie Torrens.
Calling hours will be held on Friday, August 23, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at White Haven Memorial Park, 210 Marsh Road, Pittsford, in the All Seasons Chapel gathering room. A memorial service will follow.
Matt loved all animals. Contributions may be made to a local animal shelter of your choice.
