Bob Beckim
OLD HICKORY, Tenn. – Bob Beckim passed away peacefully on April 16, 2025, at the age of 77.
A devoted and loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend, Bob is survived by his beloved wife of 50 years, Nadine Beckim; his son and daughter-in-law, Christopher and Nancy Beckim; his brother and sister-in-law, William Beckim and Linda Justin; ten cherished grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren. He is preceded in death by his son, Andrew Beckim; his father, Robert E. Beckim, Sr.; and his mother, Betty Beckim.
Bob was known as an exceptionally loving husband, a faithful and guiding father, and a doting “Grampy” who brought joy and wisdom into the lives of those he loved.
A simple man with a steadfast heart, Bob deeply loved the Lord and lived a life of integrity and quiet strength. He had a lifelong passion for sports and treasured his time hunting and fishing in the beautiful outdoors of Moosehead, Maine.
In his retirement years, Bob found great joy in playing pickleball, proudly serving as an armed guard with Apex Security, and most of all, investing his time and heart into his great-grandson, Joa, who brought him endless pride and delight.
Bob’s legacy of love, faith, and quiet generosity will be carried on by all who knew him. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
