Ronald Lee Becker Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Born March 9, 1951 in Chicago, IL, Ronald (“Ronnie”) Lee Becker (68) passed away on November 24, 2019 at his home in Tucson, AZ, following a 2-year battle with declining health. He is pre-deceased by his parents, Eleanor (“Yudie”) and Irving. His sister, Elyse (“Lisi”) Davis Frankel and her husband, Harvey, reside in Carmel, IN. Ronnie’s brother, Gary, and his wife, Patricia (“Pat”), reside in Tucson, AZ. Ronnie is also survived by several nieces and nephews: Allison Dupont, Aaron Becker, Samantha Becker, Dara Wade, Andrea Seely, Jennifer Morrison, and Jessica Johnson. Ronnie made his living in the business world, principally in real estate, and then later as a mortgage broker. His personality was larger-than-life, and his penchant to surprise people in conversation with little-known facts legendary. Ronnie was generous beyond measure, giving truly from the heart, and not only to relatives and close friends, but also to charitable causes. In recent years, he became a steadfast advocate and supporter of the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona. Ronnie adored dogs, especially his beloved Marky. He enjoyed cooking, watching sports, fishing, playing cards and backgammon, and going to the movies. Cremation will take place on Friday at Evergreen Mortuary, Cemetery, and Crematory.
