Passing of Mushing Elder, Grant Beck Sr.
Grant Beck Sr. of Yellowknife, NWT, Canada passed away April 21st at 80 years of age
after a long battle with cancer. He was born in Fort Resolution, NWT in 1925.
He is the father of 3 sons, all of whom have dog teams including: Grant Jr., Richard
and Danny. He also has numerous grandsons and daughters who continue the family tradition.
At the age of 18 Grant traveled to the Barrenlands by dogteam to trap. It is a distance
of over 500 miles and he did it solo. He was one very inspiring and interesting man. Very
soft spoken and gentle. He was a very athletic and loved a challenge.
He traveled by dogteam throughout his life but never raced. He did, however, provide
Champion dogs to his brothers who raced. He was a tremendous inspiration to all who knew
him. His extensive knowledge of dogs certainly gave his sons the foundation for their
successes today.
Condolences may be sent to the family by email or postal mail to:
Grant Beck
Box 161,
Yellowknife, NT, X1A 2N2 Canada
