Obituary
Garret “Garry” Beck, age 68, of West Fargo, ND, died Wednesday, December 9, 2020 due to an ongoing health issue.

Garret Lee Beck was born July 11, 1952 at Valley City, ND, the son of Rex H. Jr. and Grace (Faust) Beck. He graduated from high school in 1970 at Tower City, ND. Garry entered the US Air Force in June of 1970 and served until honorably discharged in November 1976.

Garry was united in marriage to Aquina Hersel on July 8, 1972 at Peerless, MT. While in the Air Force, they lived in Montana, Florida, and Alaska. Upon his discharge they lived in Montana and various cities in North Dakota, including Buffalo, Wyndmere, Thompson, and West Fargo. He enjoyed his work with community people and farmers while he delivered fuel and represented the bulk fuel company he worked for. In the later years he drove truck for window manufacturing companies.

On August 16, 1992, Garry was given the gift of life with a donated kidney via Life Source. His new kidney allowed him to live a full life again, free of dialysis until 2017. Garry was passionate about his support of organ donation and advocated that all should consider being donors.

Garry loved to travel, and he and Aquina had traveled extensively in the States and out of country. They volunteered many summers in Medora with other Foundation volunteers. One of the most memorable trips he experienced was an Honor Flight to Washington D.C. in May of 2018. Garry enjoyed watching the MN Twins and Vikings, but especially loved watching his grandchildren play sports! He was a proud member of Easton Yanish American Legion Post #10, Buffalo.
