Rest in Peace - Chris Beck
It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Christian "Chris" Beck of Rainier, Washington.
Chris was a veteran who served his country with honor, and a devoted member of our community who gave generously of his time and leadership. As a former President of the Rainier Lions Club, he lived the Lions motto—We Serve—not as a slogan, but as a way of life. Whether he was helping neighbors, supporting local causes, or showing up when Rainier needed a steady hand, Chris led with humility, loyalty, and quiet strength.
He will be remembered as a patriot, a servant-leader, and a friend to many. Rainier is a little smaller without him.
Our thoughts are with his family, fellow Lions, fellow veterans, and all who knew him. May he rest in peace, and may his example of service continue to inspire this community.
If you have a favorite memory of Chris, we invite you to share it below.
