Chris Becker, 41, Anamoose, passed away Monday, September 23, 2019 as a result of injuries sustained in an automobile accident near Kief, ND.

Chris Lee Becker, son of Leroy and Kathy (Schmidt) Becker, was born October 20, 1977 at Minot and grew up on the family farm south of Anamoose. He fell in love with farming and ranching at a very young age, and worked alongside his father and mother. He attended Anamoose Public School where he excelled in sports, especially basketball. Following his graduation in 1997, Chris worked for Heringer Lumber Company in Anamoose for a time before accepting a position as a conductor with Canadian Pacific Railroad where he was presently employed. In addition to working for CP Rail, Chris currently farmed and ranched with his wife, Lacey. They also owned and operated Becker Corn Chopping. He took great pride in the legacy he was building for his family.

On August 10, 2004, Chris was united in marriage to Lacey Axt in Las Vegas, Nevada. They have made their home in Anamoose since, and have been blessed with 3 sons who love and adore their father.

Chris was passionate about those things he loved most which included his family, his faith and his work. He was fond of deep discussion regarding religion and faith, especially with someone who may not share his opinion. Attending Sunday church service with his family was a priority for Chris. He valued the important time with his wife and children, and wanted to raise his family knowing that God needs to be the primary focus in their lives.

Chris enjoyed working alongside his family on the farm, and teaching his children the importance of a job well done. Along with his appreciation for hard work, he also enjoyed quality time just hanging out with his children, an occasional date with his wife, playing poker, and a good steak. Chris had a great sense of humor, liked to tease, and could make you laugh with a good story. He always kept a positive attitude and forgave easily.

He is survived by his wife, Lacey; his 3 sons, Everette, Greyson and Rhodes, and another child due in April 2020; his parents, Leroy and Kathy Becker of rural Anamoose; his sister, Alyssa (Dan) Weigel of Menoken; and 1 niece & 2 nephews, Shiloh, Micah and Gideon Weigel.

Chris was preceded in death by his brother, Chad; and his grandparents, Elmer & Agnes Schmidt and Elroy & Marjorie Becker.
