BREAKING: Chris Beck, Father of Georgia Bulldogs Quarterback Carson Beck, Passes Away Tragically

The Georgia Bulldogs community is mourning a heartbreaking loss today with the tragic passing of Chris Beck, beloved father of starting quarterback Carson Beck.

Chris Beck, a respected former Navy linebacker and retired naval officer, passed away unexpectedly earlier this week. The cause of death has not been officially released, and the family has requested privacy during this difficult time.

Known for his unwavering support and influential role in his son’s football journey, Chris was more than just a proud father—he was a mentor, motivator, and steadfast pillar in Carson’s life. From Carson’s high school days as a state champion in Jacksonville, Florida, to leading the Bulldogs to an SEC Championship and a standout 2024 season, Chris was always by his son’s side.

“The entire Georgia football family is heartbroken,” said Head Coach Kirby Smart in a statement. “Chris Beck was a remarkable man whose presence was felt by everyone who had the honor of knowing him. Our thoughts and prayers are with Carson and his family.”

Carson Beck, who recently declared for the 2025 NFL Draft following a season that saw him throw for over 3,400 yards and 28 touchdowns, has not released a public statement but is reportedly surrounded by family and close friends.

A celebration of life service for Chris Beck is expected to be announced in the coming days.

The University of Georgia and the broader college football community stand in solidarity with the Beck family as they navigate this unimaginable loss.
