Arthur Becker Obituary

Arthur W. Becker

Was born 2/11/71 in Billings, MT and died 2/22/2014 in San Francisco.  Arthur loved his family and touched so many lives.  He was a loveable, giving, and gentle being with an infectious laugh and witty sense of humor. He was deeply attracted to San Francisco, particularly the Castro, as it provided such a diverse array of culture and a great sense of belonging for him. He was devoted to practicing meditation and living with mindfulness, selflessness, and kindness.  The world will be less without him. He leaves behind; his parents Cheryl & Forrest "Woody" Becker; his sister and her husband Charissa & Roberto Martinez; his nephew and niece John & Cherilyn Smail; many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.  Memorial service is pending.  In lieu of flowers, please send donations in Arthur's name to SF SPCA, 201 Alabama St., San Francisco CA 94103.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
