BECKER, PAUL J., of Homestead FL, age 67, passed away peacefully at home, August 18, 2016, after a very short, unexpected battle with Leukemia (AML). Prior to his retirement in 2006, Paul owned and operated Becker's Steel for over 35 years. In the late 60's and early 70's he raced Late Model Modified stock cars at Hialeah Speedway (9B) and was Rookie of the Year in 1969. After that he was involved with motorcycle racing of Motocross bikes, as a rider and then an owner. But, Paul's priority was always family and Becker's Steel until his retirement. Recently, he enjoyed woodworking and traveling in his motorhome, with his beloved wife of 45 years, Marie, and his special 16 year old cat, Spikey. Paul appreciated the beauty in a piece of wood, the sound of a well-tuned engine, the value of family and friendships (including the furry ones), and the love of his wife/best friend, who was at his side during every journey. His craftsmanship in wood and metal left the world more beautiful, and his caring heart gave us warm memories to cherish. "Beck" will be greatly missed. Paul is survived by his loving wife, Marie, his sisters, Paulette Lopez, Cathy Hoover, Margie Mahnke, Jackie Busha, and brother, Joseph Becker. Memorial Service will be Sunday 9-11-16 @ 2PM at Branam Funeral Home in Homestead, FL. In lieu of flowers you may make donations to CHI - Community Health of South FL in his Memory. http://www.chisouthfl.org/foundation/
