Robert T. Beck, affectionately known to many as "Tom," passed away peacefully surrounded by family. Born in Richmond, Indiana, Tom was the cherished son of Frederick H. and Mary Francis Gans Beck. He shared his early years with his beloved siblings, two brothers Curt and Randy, and his sister Stacia, creating memories that would last a lifetime.

Tom attended Charles Elementary School and Test Junior High School and graduated from Richmond High School in 1971. He earned an Associate Degree from Vincennes University and a Bachelor of Science in Business from Indiana University, testifying to his dedication and love for learning. He was an avid golfer and enjoyed playing sports, pool, and dancing.

Tom's career was as varied as it was successful. He began as a sales representative for Hobart and Lenco Welding Supplies, and with an entrepreneurial spirit, he founded his contract manufacturing sales business. His career culminated at RegoFix Supplies, where he worked until his retirement in 2016

His love for his family was evident in his devoted role as a father to his son, Frederick Jacob Beck, and stepfather to Meghan Marie Khanna. He was a doting grandfather to Madison Marie Beck and Mosley Jane Beck, delighting in every moment spent with them. He is also survived by his niece Karey Lontz and two nephews John Lontz and Charles Beck. Tom was married to Melanie Jayne Beck for 12 cherished years. His family and friends remember him for his generosity, warmth, and humor that touched all who knew him
