Walter Beckwith III Obituary

REDDING - Walter Edward Beckwith III, also known as Butch, moved on to the next life January 24, 2008 at his home in Redding, California surrounded by his loving family.

Walt is survived by his wife Rhonda of 34 years, son Steven, daughter Dawn, grandson Storm, granddaughters Stephanie and Baylie, best friend and brother-in-law Randall Edwards, his mother Stella Beckwith, stepfather Henry Beckwith and sisters Susan and Kathy Rogina.

Walt was born in Ukiah, California, January 7, 1954. He was an Eagle Scout which led to his love for the great outdoors where his favorite sports were hunting and trout fishing. He enjoyed his annual hunting trips with his cousins in the summers and numerous fishing trips with his son Steve and grandson Storm.

Memorial services will be held Monday February 4, 12 noon at McDonald's Funeral Chapel, 1275 Continental St, Redding California. In lieu of flowers memorial donations can be made to: "Walter Beckwith Memorial Fund, Rhonda Beckwith Account #902178" (Golden 1 Credit Union, 1040 East Cypress #A, Redding, CA 96002) as it was Walt's wish to be laid to rest at a family retreat on the river.
