Craig Donald Becke passed away on April 10, 2015, from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident. 

Craig was born in Everett, Washington, to Donald and Grace Becke on July 25, 1960.

At a very young age he started riding motorcycles and they were one of his greatest loves. He enjoyed hunting with his father and was a star football player in his high school years. Craig graduated from Billings West High in 1978. He loved the outdoors, camping and four wheeling, and, of course, riding his motorcycles.

 He was preceded in death by his father, Donald; and survived by his mother, Grace; his daughter, Alison Becke; his younger sister, Cheri MacRenato; his older sister, Laura Seelye; and their families. Craig had innumerable friends from his years of employment at Plum Creek and the bonds created with his fellow bikers. He is also survived by many aunts, uncles and cousins.

A memorial to celebrate Craig’s life will be held at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, April 21, at Fellowship Alliance Church. The family welcomes you to join for storytelling and a lunch in the gym after the service.

 Craig was employed at Plum Creek and supported his mother and daughter. The family asks that in lieu of flowers a donation be made to help the family take care of Craig’s final expenses at Park Side Credit Union c/o Dave Seelye, or a charity of your choice in Craig’s memory.

Columbia Mortuary is caring for Craig’s family.
