Kendal Beck

Kendal Wayne Beck, 35, passed away on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, surrounded by his family and friends.

He was born on June 27, 1991, in Independence, Missouri to Mary Gidget Dietz and Daniel Beck.

Kendal was kind, thoughtful, and smart. His daughter, Jordan, was his pride and joy, and some of his happiest moments were spent playing video games with her. His wife, Arielle, was his best friend, and he loved finding things to make for her.

Kendal had an incredible talent for woodworking and was always finding something new to make. He was a hard worker who found purpose in what he did and took pride in the things he made. He also enjoyed tinkering on his car, was an avid Diablo player, and loved animals deeply.

One of his happiest memories was a recent family trip to Florida, where he, Arielle, and Jordan spent time together collecting seashells.

Kendal proudly served his country in the Army National Guard, including an overseas deployment to Afghanistan. Kendal’s kindness and generosity continued through organ donation.

Kendal valued education and received his associate’s degree in accounting from John A. Logan College.

He is survived by his wife, Arielle; his daughter, Jordan Elaina, who was his pride and joy; his mother, Mary Gidget Dietz; his brothers, Travis Beck and Austin Beck; 3 nieces and 3 nephews; and longtime friend Chance Bowen.

He was preceded in death by his father, Daniel Beck.

Kendal was a private man, and services will be held privately for family and friends.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the This Able Veteran in support of veteran’s mental health.
