Jon Carlos Beck - Walker Funeral Home

Jon C. Beck, our loving father and grandfather, passed away Tuesday, March 24, 2020 in Spanish Fork, Utah. Jon was born May 15, 1933 in Spanish Fork to Francis Eugene and Vernecia Markham Beck. He is a graduate of Spanish Fork High School.

He married Carol Ludlow on April 10, 1953 in the Salt Lake Temple. They are the parents of six children. His example of service and his work ethic have shaped the lives of his children and grandchildren. Together they have shared many happy memories.

He spent his life farming and loved his profession. He received the Distinguished Cattlemen’s Award from the Utah Cattlemen’s Association. Jon was presented with a Centennial Farm Award in 2000. He helped to organize the Leland 4-H Livestock Club in 1968. His crops were also some of the best in the valley. He took great pride in caring for his livestock and was a very hard and avid worker. Jon was a quiet generous person.

He was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and supported each of his children and grandchildren on their missions.

He is survived by his children, Lu Ann Gentry, Kay (Garth) Ashby, Bill (Linda) Beck, Gene (Lisa) Beck, Jan (Clay) Grant, and Carolyn (Clay) Creer. He also leaves behind 20 grandchildren and 35 great grandchildren.

Sincere condolences, folks. Your dad was very generous with his time, helping us kids with 4-H and that Leland stock show. He was a hard worker, and that’s obviously passed down to y’all. Take care.

Our deepest condolences to all of you. We have had so many great memories of your dad. We were engaged the same night and got married a week apart! Great times raising our families together and have remained
lifelong friends. We are thinking of you all at this time and are so happy that John and Carol are together once again.

In addition to expressing my condolences I would like to point out that your mother Carol was a first cousin to my Great-Grandmother and that your father Jon went to High School with my Grandpa since you might be wondering about my relationship with your parents/grandparents.

Jon was a great neighbor and I feel bad I won’t be able to see him at the drive coral anymore. I thought he was generous with his time and always willing to share his knowledge. I’m sorry for your loss.

Dear Beck Family-I have so many memories of being neighbors with you in Leland; riding horses, playing in the haystacks and the irrigation ditches. Your Dad was always in the background making sure we were all right. We send you our love and wishes for peace.

Jon to me was the sort of neighbor we all hope for in a farming environment. He helped me out of a bind a number of times, plowed my property with his big ol’ green tractor, made space for my horses, cleared a fallen tree out of my driveway. It was always a nice moment to down tools and go and chat by the roadside when he stopped by just to check in. Always kind. Always welcoming and one whose word was as solid as his handshake. Thank you Jon. Youre right up there with the best. I hope you still make the time to drop by from time to time.
