Chris Beck

Christopher Patrick Beck, age 52, went to be with Jesus on January 9, 2026, at his home.

Chris entered this life on August 9, 1973, in Covington, Kentucky, to Mike and Suzanne Jones Beck.

Chris spent much of his childhood in Princeton, KY where through mutual family was introduced to his future wife, Melanie Conwill. He and Melanie were married in 1999 and started their family in Clarksville, TN.

He was a devoted husband, father, son, brother, and friend whose life was marked by his passion for ministry and community.

Chris earned his degree from Murray State University. He dedicated his professional life to the field of accounting. He began his career at Beck Communications in 1998 and started his own business, Chris Beck CPA, in 2013 where he worked until 2021. Following his time there, he embraced a new role as Senior Administrator for First Baptist Church Clarksville, combining his love for faith and community with his professional skills.

A man of many interests, Chris was an avid golfer and found joy cycling through the scenic landscapes of Tennessee and Kentucky. He had a deep appreciation for music and shared his talent and passion as a former worship leader for 20 years at First Baptist Church St. Bethlehem. He also loved his dogs who were by his side through thick and thin.

Chris is survived by his loving wife, Melanie Beck; daughters, Emelia Beck and Savannah Beck; mother, Suzanne Beck; sisters, Robyn Beck (Jonathan) Morrison and Amy Beck (Jason) VanAuken; uncle, Todd Beck; and grandfather, H.C. Beck. He was preceded in death by his father, Mike Beck.
