Brian Beck

Fallen Hero’s Hometown and State: Canute, OK

Branch of Service: Washita County Sheriffs office

Rank: Undersheriff

Undersheriff Brian Beck started his service in law enforcement as a local town cop. He later worked for the county as a deputy, then was promoted to K-9 officer. Finally, he was promoted to undersheriff for Washita County, serving for just 23 days. He died when his vehicle collided with another vehicle during a high-speed pursuit.

Widely respected, Brian was fair but blunt. He always took the time to listen understand. The law was just that – the law. It was not meant to be broken.

Brian never met a stranger and was always willing to help someone trying to better themselves. He had a heart of gold and is dearly missed.
