Dr. Angus William Beck

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Dr. Angus William Beck. He was a loyal, honorable, and kind man whose impact on others was profound. He fought a short battle with pancreatic cancer; one that was long enough that his coworkers, friends, and family could all spend quality time with him in his final days. He passed peacefully on Wednesday May 8th, 2024 at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital surrounded by his wife and three children. He was 72 years old.

Gus was the first-born son to Dr. Malcolm and Shirley Beck (deceased). Gus is survived by his loving wife Donna (nee Jay); his children, Jaymin (Jonathan) Baird, Jeremy (Christine) Beck, and William Beck; grandchildren Maggie (Chris Coscia) Baird, Gabrielle, Alexandra, and Julianne Beck; siblings Gordie (Jane), Callum (Lorraine), Rory (deceased; Gaylene), Norman (Sharon), and Susan (Cosh) Jordan; and special sister Nonie Fraser.

He also leaves to mourn many nieces, nephews, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, cousins, close friends, and colleagues at the McGill Center. He provided care for Islanders for 40 years and their lives were changed for the better because of his dedication and devotion.

He will be resting at Belvedere Funeral Home, where visitation will take place on Monday, May 13th from 2:00-4:00pm and 6:00-8:00pm. His Celebration of Life service will happen on Tuesday, May 14th at Central Christian Church at 10:30am. You may view the recording of the service by clicking on the following link Recording.
