Ned F. Becker, of Hoyt Lakes, died unexpectedly on Tuesday, June 24, 2025. He was 71 years old.
Born in Cloquet, Minnesota, he was one of four siblings born to the late Edward and Delora Becker. Most of his childhood was spent growing up in White Bear Lake, Minnesota.
Prior to moving to Hoyt Lakes in 2005, he lived for many years in St. Paul, Minnesota.
He was an avid baseball fan and loved following the Twins games and stats.
The pace of life and nature of northern Minnesota is something Ned found very enjoyable. In addition, he loved his cats, especially Squeaky.
Surviving are three siblings: a sister, Ellen (John) Yazbeck of the Twin Cities; and two brothers, Phil (Christie) of Ohio and David (Terri) of Pennsylvania. In addition, he leaves behind several nieces and nephews; along with a stepmother, Clare Becker; as well as many caring friends.
Ned was truly one of a kind and a good soul, may his spirit carry us forward.
A simple family gathering will be private.
