Lake Havasu City, Arizona -

Walter Anthony Beck "Walt" passed away on 5/3/21 of cancer, at the age
of 81.

Walt was the type of man that could light up a room when he entered
and always brought his sense of humor with him. Walt was a successful
business man that loved to visit the river. He would bring his family
from California to enjoy all that it had to offer for many years.

Before Walt and his family decided to make Lake Havasu their home in
1979, he had to decide what he wanted to do in Lake Havasu and even
got his real estate license at the time. During this time the "Jet
Ski" had become a popular water sport and what a better place to start
a watercraft business then in Lake Havasu City. He started out in a
small shop called Walt's Kawasaki and later grew and became Walt's
Motorsports & Marine. This business was very successful for 30+ years.
Walt was also instrumental in bringing the World Finals to Lake
Havasu. Anyone that truly knew Walt knew that he had a passion for
cooking for friends and family, good food and good wine. He loved Jazz
music and entertaining. Walt was also very involved in his community
at various levels over the years. Later, after Walt retired, he
relocated to his mountain home in Williams, Arizona, where he enjoyed
the remaining years of his life.

Walt was preceded in death by his parents Henry and Mira Beck, and his
first wife Dawn Beck. He is survived by his wife and partner of 21
years Cassie Hall-Beck. His Daughter Denise Easter (Scott Massney) and
his Son Tony Beck (Missy) with his grandchildren; John Michael Easter,
Natasha Easter and Taylor Beck. He was also survived by his step-
daughter, Ashley Buckles and Step-son Beau Buckles and step-
grandchildren, Allora Vickers, Finley Van Cleave and Keoni Van Cleave.
There will be a remembrance/celebration of life for close friends and
family at this time.
