Andrew Taylor Beck

Andrew Taylor Beck of Tega Cay, South Carolina, a beloved husband, father, son, brother, friend, and coworker unexpectedly died in his sleep while on a business trip to Chicago August 15, 2024.  He was 41.

Andrew was born March 20, 1983 to his parents Wendell and Julie, and an older brother John. The early years of his life were spent in Provo, Utah while his father was a student at BYU.  After his father’s graduation the family moved to Mesa, Arizona, where a younger sister, Anna joined the family.

Andrew attended Franklin and Val Vista Lakes Elementary Schools, Greenfield and Poston Junior High Schools, and Mountain View High School where he graduated in May 2002.

While attending Mountain View High School Andrew excelled as a member of both the baseball and football teams. A crowning achievement of his teenage years was earning and receiving his Eagle Scout Award.

Upon graduating high school Andrew served a two year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints in the Dominican Republic Santo Domingo East Mission.

Following his Church mission, he continued his football career at BYU and then Utah State. He finished his football career playing Arena Football for the Utah Saints. Andrew graduated from Brigham Young University with a degree in Sociology in April 2010.

Andrew married Dallas McCormick and together they brought two wonderful children into this world, Troy Kayon, and Kendal Aaliyah.

Andrew, Dallas, and their children loved to go to Folly Beach in South Carolina to spend the day together. Whether a nice short evening at their local Carowinds or a family vacation to Universal Studios Florida, Disney World or Disneyland, Andrew and his family found joy spending time together at amusement parks. They also enjoyed simple things like making popcorn and watching a movie together.

At the time of his death Andrew was the CEO for Aruza Pest Control.

Andrew had a gentle heart, and he was kind, especially to those in need.  Andrew loved his family. They were the most important thing in the world to him.  He was taken way too young and he will be greatly missed by all those who knew and loved him.
