Obituary of Myron & Linda Becker

IN LOVING MEMORY OF MYRON AND LINDA BECKER Myron Nicholas Becker, son of Leo and Marguerite (Kelling) Becker, was born September 2, 1939, and passed away May 30, 2012. He grew up in Logan, Kanas and was always known as "Tug." He graduated from the Logan High School with the class of 1957. Linda Jo (Ferris) Becker, daughter of William and Maxine (Steenis) Ferris, was born September 4, 1945, near Woodruff, Kansas, and passed away February 1, 2009. She attended the grade and high school in Long Island, Kansas, and graduated with the class of 1963. Myron and Linda married on July 16, 1966, and later they moved to Manhattan, Kansas, where they had a small farm with cattle and started MN Becker Excavating and Grading. Myron was a top notch motor grader operator while Linda wore many hats running a household and taking care of business. People around town referred to them both as "best operator and woman truck driver around town." They had a snow removal business with Kansas State University for over 15 years. Linda was a loving person and always showed her radiant smile to all those she met on her life's journey. She loved driving her red dump truck, hitting Saturday morning garage sales and everyone looked forward to her delivering her amazing baked goodies. Myron was a generous, hardworking, and strong-minded man. He certainly liked to harass all his friends, especially his older brother Daryl "Top" with lots of phone calls. He was deeply devoted to Linda, loved his dog, Kobi, and was most proud of their only daughter, Shannon Marie, and their number one and only grandson, Gage Nicholas Nelson, of Lee's Summit, Missouri. Myron and Linda both appreciated the little things in life and certainly would put others ahead of their own lives. They both were the best parents, grandparents, and friends that anyone could possibly wish for and will continue to always be there in the memories and hearts of those who loved them. A memorial has been established to the Myron & Linda Becker Memorial Fund.
