Christopher Becker Obituary
Menomonie - Christopher John Becker, age 19, passed away February 2, 2020 in an automobile accident. He was born on February 20, 2000 in Wisconsin Rapids to John Becker and Michelle (Dhein). He grew up in Wisconsin Rapids and Menomonie, WI and graduated from Menomonie High School in 2019.
Christopher enjoyed car shows. He was instrumental in helping his dad at Rockfalls Speedway, Union Grove, and Cedar Falls Raceway. Christopher raced and was the pit crew at the Merrill Ice Drags in Merrill, WI. He was excited to be mentioned on a syndicated car show, winning his first race that day. He loved the road trips looking for the "next" project. The first road trip produced his 1978 Dodge 4x4. With a new engine and a few extras, it's been a steady performer.
Christopher loved helping his friends. Whether it was a transmission change or a small job he was willing to help at the drop of a dime. His trusty tow straps come in handy for many of his friends. We all enjoyed his 4th of July firework shows every year. He also enjoyed shooting sporting clays and deer hunting. Taking a tour with the golf cart was a favorite of his as well as summer trips to Elkhart Lake to watch the races with his friends. The summer vacations with the family were always an adventure for all. Christopher truly touched the lives of those he interacted with.
Christopher is survived by his parents John Becker and Michelle (Dhien), sister Alicia (Nicholas) Blake, nephew Owen Blake, grandmother Leona Dhein, aunts and uncles; Greg Dhein, Dain Conover and Deb (Dhein), Edward Marcott and Lisa (Dhein), Tom Becker, Steve Stolz and Mary (Becker).
He is also survived by many cousins, other relatives, and friends.
He is preceded in death by his grandparents Robert and Katherine Becker and Donald Dhein.

John and Michelle - we are very sorry to hear of Christopher's passing. He was way too young. I can still remember him helping me work when I was doing carpenter work at your house. ~Jack and Connie

There are no words for the lose of your son. He meant a lot to me and my family. I miss him and I wish that I could talk to him more. He was the best cousin a person could ask for
