John Beckett
November 1, 1948 - April 28, 2024
In the early morning of Sunday April 28 John passed away peacefully at the page of 75, with family at his side in his family home.
He leaves to mourn his wife of 53 years Eunice. His four children, Sheila (Barry) Desrochers, John (Elizabeth) Beckett, Stacy (Thor) Bahl and Candace (Craig) Phillips. He also leaves his grandchildren, Kyle (Katie) Cowper, Chad (Brandi) Cowper, Sydney (Brent) Pritchard, Lauren Dixon, Jonathan Beckett, Kaitlyn Beckett, Gracie Beckett, Sharissa (Trevor) Buchanan, Justice Bahl, Riley (Lauren Kraus Van Dyck) Bahl, Pierse (Janelle Spek) Bahl, Ty Bahl, Scott Fehr, Tristen Fehr, Alex Fehr and Zachary Phillips. He was also blessed to have great-grandchildren whom he also leaves to mourn Maddie, Livvy, Jayden, Orianna, Paisley, Liam, Lincoln, Phoenix and Libbii.
John is survived by his sister Rosamary Antonio, In-laws, Bill Clouston, Jim Clouston, Joe (Susan) Lambert, Bob (Pat) Lambert, Shirley Hares, Jean (Larry) Barstad, Fred (Karen) Dennison, Heather Dennison along with many nieces and nephews.
He is predeceased by his parents, Walter and Ada Beckett. Siblings, Muriel (Wilf) Patten, Lillian (Ed) Davis, Nellie (Tom) Glendenning, Raymond (Isabel) Beckett, Violet (Bob) Nolan, James (Lenore) Beckett and Lora (Bill) Elliot. In-laws, Campbell and Elsie Clouston, sister-in-law, Mary Clouston, brother-in-law, Ken Hares, son-in-law, Keith Cowper and granddaughter, Payton Beckett.
John was born on November 1, 1948 in Carman, MB and at the age of 12 the family moved to Winnipeg. As he grew up he did odd jobs until he found his true calling, carpentry. He worked in the city during the week, coming out to the country on weekends to visit family. This is where he met the love of his life, Eunice. They lived in Roseisle with their kids until they lost their home to fire. They then moved to Brandon and after 10 years there they made their last move out to Roseisle. John could always be found out camping with his family or fishing with his close friend, Ken Moore. In his later years he was in his shop working on some project Eunice would have for him. After retiring he tried his hand at beekeeping with his son John until his passing. You could always count on John to be available to give a helping hand to family, friends or his community.
Should friends so desire, donations may be made to Carman Palliative Care.
Viewing will be held on Tuesday, May 7, 2024 at the EMC Church in Roseisle, MB from 1pm-1:45pm. Memorial service will be at 2:00pm followed by a private graveside burial.
