Beckstrom family honors husband father as mystery vehicle probe continues
Tasha Beckstrom shared how she forgives the unknown drivers while seeking answers about the crash that killed John Beckstrom. She held a one year memorial with balloons and messages at the cemetery and noted his favorite 1969 Plymouth Satellite as a fitting headstone tribute. Their daughter Joscelyn, 14, begins high school with counselor aspirations, and son Tristin, 13, lives with a traumatic brain injury. Beckstrom returns to Horace Good Middle School as a full time special education teacher, praising community support and reflecting on their adjusted wheelchair accessible plans. Police ask for tips at 276-1300 or Crime Stoppers 275-7807.
