DENNIS BECKER

DENNIS BECKER 1954 ~ 2025

Dennis Edward Becker passed away in Medicine Hat on Thursday, February 13, 2025, at the age of 70 years.  Dennis was predeceased by his father, Edward on March 20, 2017; mother, Alice (nee Schlinker) on March 14, 1957, and by one son, Daniel on August 30, 2019.  He is survived by his son, Donald (Tanya) as well as numerous other extended family and friends, including his close friend, Jenn. Dennis joined the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1973, embarking on a fulfilling career that shaped much of his life. While balancing the demands of military service, he raised his two sons with love and commitment. Dennis achieved the rank of Chief Warrant Officer in June 2001, shortly before he retired in 2006 when he returned to Medicine Hat and embraced a quieter pace of life. In his early retirement, Dennis ded-icated himself to visiting and caring for his father until Ed’s passing in 2017. In the years that followed, he found joy in the simple pleasures of life—sharing a game of cribbage or a meal with his dear friend Jenn, enjoying home-cooked meals from generous neighbours, or indulging in his favourite Chinese food. His memory will live on through the stories shared and the friendships cherished. A Celebration of Dennis’ life will be held at Cook Southland Funeral Chapel, 901 – 13 Street S.W., Medicine Hat on Tuesday, February 25, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. with Major Murray Jaster officiating.  A time of fellowship will follow thereafter in the Cook Southland Reception Facility.  Dennis’ celebration will be live streamed.  Those who cannot attend but wish to experience his service should visit the Cook Southland website and select the View Broadcast button on the home page at service time.
