Joseph Richard Beckmann, beloved son, brother, husband, and father, passed away on November 29, 2023, at the age of 58. He was born June 13, 1965, in Oakland, California to Linda and Richard Beckmann.
Joe served our country in the Army National Guard. His work ethic was outstanding. He was a master mechanic, truck driver and had many construction job opportunities. He was brilliant and could fix or build anything. He built his own dune buggy and loved tinkering on cars and his dirt bikes. He was planning to build his own home in Big Water, Utah. Joe had an adventurous spirit. He loved being in the outdoors camping, riding his dune buggy and dirt bikes, gardening and being with his dogs.
Joe was preceded in death by his son Ronney McClellan, father-in-law Steve Rudolph, sister-in-law Lisa Mecham, uncle’s Paul Deveze and William Beckmann; his grandparents: Ruby and Floyd Whicker, Joseph and Joan Beckmann; and his adored dogs Rowdy, Fred, Trini, Baby and Dexter.

He is also survived by his children: Jeff Beckmann (wife Tina), Johnny Beckmann, Brittani Beckmann (Brad), and Trever Sulpizio (wife Kaylee); his siblings: Paul Beckmann, Steve Beckmann, Matt Beckmann, Amy Walters (Jeremy), and Melissa Luna (Steve); and his grandchildren Sakura, Jade, Lillie, Roman, Axel and Vinny.
Joe was dearly loved by his aunts and uncles: Ken Whicker (Vickie), Sally Deveze, Ward Whicker (April) and their families. He will be missed by many other friends and family.
Joe your time has come too soon; we imagine you in a better place (in heaven’s outdoors) where you now feel how much we love you.
A limb has fallen off our family tree.
That says grieve not for me.
Remember the best times and laughter, the song,
the good life I lived while I was strong.
