Beck J Rippy: 2007 to 2010
With heavy heart I post this obituary; Beck J Rippy was my nephew and only 2 years old when he passed this weekend. Everyone says their children or their nieces and nephews are the cutest, and that may be so, but Beck was a different kind of soul that was beyond cute — he was beautiful. I’ll never be able to explain his countenance and what he did for our family but without question, it was something awesome.

So long Little Light,
It’s raining outside–
It’s a chalkboard gray kind of day.
So long Little Light,
Since you’re use to shining bright,
It’s the kind of day you would want to miss anyway.

Beck J. Rippy
2007 to 2010
Beck Rippy was born on November 12, 2007 to Tyler and Chelsea Rippy of American Fork, Utah. He rejoined his Heavenly Father on April 23, 2010, due to complications with pneumonia.
Beck was, in every sense of the word, a blessing. The perpetual light he carried with him could find its way into even the hardest of hearts. Despite a few developmental challenges, this small boy was able to communicate the love and courage his soul contained.
Beck’s happiness, his playful spirit, his angelic countenance, and his teasing smile were contagious to every person who came in contact with him. To see his face would be to look into something greater than all of us– a peek into heaven.
Beck is survived by his proud parents, his adoring brother Evan (9) and his doting sister Kate (7). He is also survived by his grandparents Jim and Sue Rippy and Randy and Kerry Stenson. His great-grandparents, his many aunts, uncles, and cousins will greatly miss him, and will forever be affected by the short but powerful role Beck played in their lives. We love our Beckster.
