Mark Howard Beckett, age 63, passed away on July 14, 2024, in Lafayette, IN. He was born on September 10, 1960, in Tuscola, IL, to Virginia Bryant and the late Robert Beckett.

Mark was a loving husband, married to Lori Brown on December 31, 1985. Together, they created a beautiful family and cherished their time together.

Mark had a vibrant personality and never knew a stranger. His sense of humor and ability to connect with anyone made him a beloved friend to all who knew him. He had a passion for motorcycles, especially his cherished Harley, and spent many joyful hours riding the open road.

In his free time, Mark enjoyed watching TV shows about cars and was particularly interested in anything related to Nazis and World War II. His curiosity and enthusiasm for these subjects were a testament to his lifelong love of learning.

Mark leaves behind a legacy of love and laughter.
