It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Jerry Lee Beckley, a beloved husband, father, friend, and man of God. He passed on October 23,2023 in Grand Junction Colorado, at the age of 89 with his family close by.
Born on March 22, 1934, Jerry grew up in the Delta Colorado area. As a young boy he wanted nothing more than to be a “real” cowboy and loved riding with his Uncle Art on cattle drives starting at age five. He served in the Navy from 1953 - 1957. He was drawn to the Lord and had a passion for the word of God, even attending Bible school and becoming a Pastor for a time. He never lost his passion for God and it shaped his life. He touched the lives of many with his unwavering love for the Lord.
He leaves behind his Six Children: Kevin Beckley (Vicki), Katherine Roberts-Butterbaugh (Chuck), Lorinda Beckley, Dawn Tobin (Dennis), Timothy Beckley, and Suzette Cordova (Matt). Eleven Grandchildren: Jason Thompson, David Turner, TK Roberts, Matthew Tobin, Savannah Roberts, Brittany Tobin-Taga, Christian Schuller, Tiffany Schuller, Katie Beckley, Dylan Beckley, and Kaylee Cordova.
