•DAVID L. BECK

David L. Beck passed away peacefully, with family by his side, on April 1, 2024. He lived a full, productive and happy life for almost 88 years with his wife, Janet (Rupp), by his side for 65 of those years. He was a wonderful man and an eternal jokester with a wicked sense of humor.

Dave was born in Perrysburg, on April 7, 1936, to Martha and Bob Beck. He grew up fishing, hunting and causing mischief all over the tiny village of Perrysburg. He lived in and loved the outdoors. He attended Michigan State University, Bowling Green State University, and graduated with a master’s degree from the University of Toledo. Dave and Janet married in 1957, and they settled in Perrysburg on Fifth Street. Dave taught biology at Perrysburg High School and Janet worked as a banker. They had three children, Steve, Michelle and Cameron.

In 1968, Dave and Janet purchased some property on Constant Lake in Douglas, Ontario, Canada, and built two cabins there; one for them and their children, the other for friends and for when their children were grown. They spent every summer ther

About 12 o’clock the Sheriff with his guard brought the doomed man from his cell in the jail and he was assisted into the wagon before the door and was seated on his coffin, accompanied by the Sheriff and  his deputies.

The immense cortege then slowly moved down the Alabama road to the gallows, erected to the right of the road nearly one mile from the court house. Upon arriving at the gallos, he was taken from the wagon and seated under the gallows.   Rev. Messers Milner and Christian, who have been his spiritual advisors, then held a last solemn, which consisted in singing “There is a F

Message from Brother David L. Beck

Young men of the Church, God has given you the holy priesthood. He has a work for each of you to do now. Continue to learn your duty to God. Act in all diligence. And share your testimony often. As you seek to be anxiously engaged in this work, you will do great things and bless many lives. You'll be happier, and you'll be protected against temptation. You will become a faithful priesthood man. During the past year, you have learned your work requires you to be strong and of a good courage. The mutual theme for 2011 is the 13th article of faith. It begins with the words "we believe." Our faith in Jesus Christ inspires us to do good to all men, to seek after righteous things, and to become men of integrity, purity, and charity. Courage and strength come through faith in Jesus Christ. Let me tell you about someone I knew when I was a young man living in Brazil. Paulo Pires had great courage as a young man. He was invited to come unto Christ. And he was baptized when he was only 12 years old, even though no one else in his famil
