Michael “Mike” Eric Beck Sr.
1959-2017
Michael
“Mike” Eric Beck Sr, 57, of Hillsborough and formerly of
Albert Mines passed away peacefully on February 22, 2017 at Forest
Dale Home with his loving family by his side. He struggled
with the early onset of Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease for the past
few years.
Mike
was born in Moncton on May 18,1959 the son of Leo
Beck and the late Ruby (Douthwright) Beck. He was a member of the Holy
Ghost Catholic Church. He worked in the woods with his dad
when he was young, then worked at CNR, after that he went back to
school for his truck and transport repair, graduating on the honor
roll. He worked as a school bus driver for over 20 years
before his illness prevented him from driving. In his spare
time, he was a shuttle driver at the ROCKS and also
worked for the Village of Hillsborough at the rink, driving the
Zamboni. He loved children and had a special way with
them. He had a very quiet demeanor about him but always had
that little smile and those sparkling brown eyes. He enjoyed
being outdoors and loved spending time at the camp in New Ireland, it
was his haven. He would spend hours in his garage tinkering on his
trucks and his original three wheeler and newer four
wheeler. He also had a special place in his heart for
animals especially his dog, Chip and Felix the cat. Mike
loved his family and would light up when the grandchildren came for a
visit. He would do anything for them, Aiden was
always by his grampy’s side. Mike would even play dress up
with Grace at times, he never said no. His family was the most
important thing to him, he went on an airplane out west to visit his
son and grandsons when he was terrified of flying but his love of
family made him conquer his fear. He has left his family with great
memories and they will cherish the good times and remember
all the fun they had together. Mike may have changed over
the past few years but his legacy outshone his illness and he may not
have recognized all his family members at times but they remembered
him and how he impacted their lives for the better. He will live on in
the hearts of his loved ones and friends
forever.
He
will be deeply missed by his father, Leo Beck of Hillsborough; devoted
wife of and best friend, Jackie”Jake” Beck of
