Anthony "Tony" Eugene Becker

Anthony was a graduate of Bishop Luers High School and later served as a member of the Indiana National Guard, carrying forward a steady sense of duty and commitment.

Over the course of his working life, Anthony brought persistence and care to everything he did. He worked as a lineman with I&M Power for 10 years, and from 1976 to 2024 he was a dedicated insurance professional. With characteristic resolve and an independent spirit, he opened his own Independent Insurance Agency and operated in Southwest Fort Wayne until retirement.

Anthony married Linda Cullen, and together they built a life rooted in family and steadfast devotion. He is survived by his wife of 51 years, Linda Becker of Fort Wayne; son, Brett (Teresa) Becker of Elkhart; son, Brandon Becker of Fort Wayne; 4 grandchildren; and 15 great-grandchildren.

In his everyday life, Anthony found satisfaction in simple pleasures and hands-on pursuits. Coffee was a constant comfort, and he was never far from “dinkering” outside—tending to yard work, keeping busy, and finding purpose in the small tasks that made a home feel cared for. He loved the lake and owned a house on Waldron Lake and Adams Lake, where boating, the jet ski, and time on the pontoon were part of the rhythm of life. He also enjoyed playing Euchre, and he treasured time with family. In the kitchen, he was equally at home—cooking with enthusiasm, creating a mess along the way, and enjoying baking and grilling with the same practical, surround his family with love approach that marked so much of his life.

Visitation will be held at D.O. McComb & Sons Funeral Homes - Covington Knolls, 8325 Covington Road, Fort Wayne, IN 46804, on November 8, 2026, from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm.

To honor his wishes, a cremation will occur.
