Michael S. Beck's Obituary
Michael Steven Beck, 62, of Concord, NC went home to be with the Lord on October 24, 2016. Born August 11, 1954, Michael was an employee of the City of Charlotte Maintenance Department.
He is survived by his wife of 27 years, Donna Marshall Beck; son Stephen Beck of Sylva, NC; daughter Sarah and her husband Steven Zepeda of Landis, NC; mother Lillian Reavis Beck and father William Carl Beck, both of Concord, NC; two brothers, Gerald Stanford (Betty) of Hickory, and Gary Beck (Sandra) of Mint Hill; three sisters, Loretta Brannon (Melvin) of Charlotte; Helen Sowell (Freddie) of Concord and Chelsea LeMasters (Joey) of Mount Pleasant, NC; and many precious nieces and nephews.
He offered his time and expertise to anyone who needed it and did so with selfless intentions. He would gladly give you the shirt off his back, but wouldn’t let you repay him, he would just do it because he was able to do it and not for the credit. He never said much, but when he did everyone in the room would stop what they were doing to listen because they all knew it was going to be meaningful. He was never an overly emotional person, but no one in his family ever questioned his love for them. He may not have shown it in conventional ways but we all know he loved every one of us, and we look forward to, and are comforted by the knowledge that, we will see him again one day.
A funeral service will be held on Thursday, October 27, 2016, at 11:00 AM, at Gloryland Baptist Church in Charlotte with Rev. Sammy Case officiating. Burial will follow at Forest Lawn West Cemetery.
The family will receive friends on Wednesday, October 26, 2016, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Gloryland Baptist Church.
