Jeremy (J.B.) Benjamin Becker, II

December 13, 2004 - April 4, 2017

To fully know J.B. is like trying to catch the wind. You might think you know which way it's blowing, but it suddenly changes direction. No matter how hard you try to follow, you can never keep up. All the while it swirls and howls with amusement. J.B. took pride in his ability to keep people on their toes. He had no category. He was a comedian, outdoorsman, video gamer, video maker, athlete, creative, ingenuitive and loyal to the end. He was certainly an extrovert, but still in tune with his compassionate and empathetic core. He loved others and would always stick up for the underdog. Born exactly 11 months apart from his best friend and sister, Rylie Becker, they were "Irish Twins" (born in the same calendar year). While he was the second child; he was the first boy. He wore his "man of the house badge" proudly from an early age. This title was reinforced when he became the big brother to Henry Becker. While the roles often fluctuated between tormenter and teacher, they shared an incredible bond. He may have started life as Mommy's baby and buddy, but he quickly became Daddy's boy. A manly-man through and through, he hung on every word his Dad (Jeremy Becker) had to say. Mom (Hollie Becker) was there for hugs and kisses, but only Dad could teach him to be a man. He would scour our camping areas (usually barefoot and without a shirt) to bring back enough wood to make the big fire Mom wanted. Daddy taught him well. J.B.'s lively spirit will be cherished and missed by more people than this could ever include. Countless family members and friends will remember him always. The next time you curse the Kansas wind, think of J.B. and have a laugh. A funeral service will be held at 1:00 pm, Tuesday, April 11, at NewSpring Church, 12200 E. 21st St. N. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the J.B. Becker Memorial Fund c/o Maize Middle School. Share condolences at www.CozineMemorial.com. Services by Broadway Mortuary.
