Gene Becquet was born in Shirley, Massachusetts and was stationed at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona when he passed away from a heart attack. Gene was highly regarded for his technical expertise and dedication, notably contributing to a record-breaking 26-hour consecutive flight mission in Liberia that saved over 1,600 lives. He worked at Hurlburt Field, Florida, and was stationed in England.

He is survived by his wife, Sally, and their two children, Brenna and Teagan. His father, George Andre Bequet, is listed in public records in Saint Petersburg, Florida.

The family requested donations to the Community Food Bank, 3003 S. Country Club Rd., Tucson, AZ 85713 in Gene’s name, in lieu of flowers.
