Thomas Beckrest Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Ramsey Funeral Home - Oroville on Feb. 19, 2026.
Thomas Clifford Beckrest, age 79, passed away on Sunday, February 15, 2026, surrounded by family. Born on October 23, 1946, in Cleveland, Ohio, Tom lived a life devoted to service, community and family.

As a veteran of the U.S. Army, Tom served his country with honor and dignity. And because of his heart to serve, he continued to extend that love and service to his family and friends. Tom's life was a true testament to love, family, courage, and strength.

He is survived by his wife of 54 years, Rose Lynn "Ro", two daughters, Michelle (Joey), Tara (CJ), six granddaughters, Valerie, Emily, Amanda, Jessica, Sofia, and Addison, and three great-grandchildren, Jaxson, Kyndal, and Ryder Thomas. He was preceded in death by their first son, John.
