Chris Beckius

C hristopher B eckius died at Great Plains Health in North Platte on December 8, 2023, at the age of 49.

Chris, the son of Jerome "Jerry" and Sharon Beckius, was born at Long Beach, CA, on June 14, 1974.  He grew up in North Platte where he graduated from N.P.H.S. in 1993.  He worked at Taco Johns, Highland Dairy and Cement Products then hired on with the Union Pacific Railroad in 1998.  Chris was a member of the United Transportation Union and worked as a Switchman.

In 1997 he married Jackie Clark and they later divorced.  He married Terry Mustion in 2011 and they later divorced.

Chris was a giving person.  He enjoyed spending time camping, being at the lake, and going to car shows.  He loved his cars (especially his 1972 Cutlass), turning a wrench, Christmas, his Christmas lights, and his dogs, but most importantly, Chris loved watching his daughter, Annabelle, do anything.

He was preceded in death by his infant sister, Heather.

Chris leaves behind his parents, Jerry and Sharon Beckius, brother, Court Beckius, his children, Annabelle Beckius, Tyler Beckius and Nathaniel Beckius, and best friend, Terry Beckius, all of North Platte.

In keeping with Chris' wishes, cremation was chosen.  Services will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, December 30, at Odean Colonial Chapel with Micah Dunn presiding.  The guest book may be signed on Friday, December 29, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and family will be present from 4-6 p.m. at Odean Colonial Chapel at C & Sycamore, which is in charge of arrangements.
