Zachary Robert Beck

July 3, 1995 - May 23, 2017

“Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning to dance in the rain.” Zach was a free spirit who lived in the present, on his own terms. He was a dreamer. He was a leader. He could enter the room and brighten it with his smile, his attitude or just his presence. He made friends so easily and was true to each and every one of them. He was kind, considerate and compassionate. Zachary, we love you with all our hearts and are profoundly proud of you. Rest in peace; and never, never stop dancing in the rain. Zachary Robert Beck was born July 3, 1995 in Billings, MT. He graduated in the class of 2013 at Skyline High School in Sammamish, WA. He excelled in academics and was a junior studying Business Management at Western Washington University. Zach enjoyed hanging out with his friends, attending concerts, and hiking and camping throughout the Western U.S. He is survived by his mother Jennifer (husband Michael) Ragsdale of Redmond, WA, father Ronald Beck of Billings, MT, brothers Ryan Beck and Nathan Ragsdale of Redmond, WA, sister Jennifer Beck of Casper, WY, grandparents Bob and Janice Hamlin of Billings, MT and Don and Betty Ragsdale of Colorado Springs, CO and many loving relatives and friends.
