Obituary: George Beck, Jr., 65, of Free Soil. 

George A. Beck Jr., 65, of Free Soil passed away on Saturday, December 18, 2021 in Myrtle Beach, SC.  George was born on November 18, 1956 in Allegan, the son of George and Doris (Carroll) Beck Sr., and graduated from Charlotte High School with the class of 1974.  He attended Ferris State College where he earned his associate degree in welding and used his skills to open his own shop – Certified Welding in Free Soil.  George thoroughly enjoyed living in the Free Soil area and lately spent his winters in Myrtle Beach.  Both areas allowed him to pursue his love of tennis, water and snow skiing, and golf.

George was preceded in death by his father George Sr., and his son George Beck III.

He will be greatly missed by his son Robert (Malgorzata) Beck of Manistee; his daughter Tammy Block of Arizona; his grandchildren Parker Block, Matthew Cohen, Madisyn and Riley Beck; his mother Doris Sherman of Allegan; his stepmother Sharon Beck of Muskegon; and his sisters Carla Milbourn of Lansing, and Ginger Primich of California.
