David Edward Oren Beck, age 67, of Mt. Zion, Illinois went to his heavenly home on Sunday, May 5th, 2019 at St. Mary’s Hospital after a battle with diabetes and cardiac disease. David was born in Decatur, Illinois on June 14th, 1951. He was placed in the Lutheran Baby Home until he was adopted at the age of 5 by Edward Oren Beck and Henrietta Wilhelmina (Leipski) Beck. He was married to Carla (Spinner) Beck whom he was divorced from in 1982. He married Carol Sue Camac on April 15th, 1984 whom he was divorced from in 2003.

He served his country in the U.S. Navy as a boiler technician and was a member of VFW Post 99. In September 2018, David re-dedicated his life and was baptized at his home church, GT Church.
