Passed 28 January 2023

I am sad to report that CW4 (Ret) Joseph Anthony Beckham, age 79, of Copperas Cove, Texas passed away on Saturday, January 28, 2023 after a long battle with cancer.

Joe "Dirty Joe" Beckham was a legend within the OV-1 & Fixed wing Communities ever since I was a young captain. 

He served in the US Army from June 1961 until June 1993.  

He was a fixture within the 15th MI BN and overseas.  He was a trusted agent to commanders, pilots and soldiers.

CW4 (Ret) Joseph Anthony Beckham will have a private graveside service, 7 Feb at the Central Texas State Veterans Cemetery where he will receive full military honors for service to our country.

Rest In Peace brother.
