After a courageous battle with cancer, Marc Edmund Becker passed away peacefully at their home in Kanata, surrounded by his loving family on Wednesday, March 16th.
Marc was born in Trenton, ON to Hildegard and Edmund Becker. He was raised on a farm and learned to love the land, the trees, and nature. His childhood was spent learning the laws of the land, the particulars of farming, and enjoying his family home in Smithfield with his older brother Chris, and younger sisters Gina and Michele. He was inspired to follow in his father’s footsteps and chose Glen Robertson to build his farm and raise his family.
Marc lived in awe of all of God’s many creations, and he practiced gratitude daily. He had immense love in his heart for his parents, his family, his children, grandchildren, his farm, and Kathleen. That love extended to his many friends especially his dear family friend Shelley Carrier, and his life coach and mentor, David Lindsay.
He was happiest at the farm, either sitting out on the deck on a Sunday morning drinking a coffee or spending time roaming the farm acreage on the four-wheelers with his partner, children and grandchildren or sitting around the campfire listening to country music. He loved to laugh, and he loved to make others laugh. Marc was an amazing son, brother, father, grandfather, friend, and partner. He will be missed greatly by all.
Marc is dearly loved by his partner, Kathleen, his parents, Hildegard and Edmund (deceased) Becker and his children Ryan Becker (Lisa), Kaitlyn Becker (Keegan), and Jordan Becker and his grandchildren Trent, Kira, and Nash Becker. He was a devoted brother and is survived by Chris Becker (Lynda), Michele Becker (John Pedari) and Gina Becker (Tracey). Loving uncle to his treasured nieces and nephews. Donations in lieu of flowers and in memory of Marc may be made to Saint Finnan’s Cathedral or The Ottawa Hospital.
