Tavish was born on July 12th, 1996, in Arlington, Texas, to Ellis Beck III and Staci Klish. From an early age, Tavish showed a passion for life, family, and faith. He began playing Pee Wee football at the age of six and continued through all his high school years. He loved the game, and he loved weightlifting—always pushing himself to the fullest with unmatched drive and dedication.
He graduated from South Grand Prairie High School in 2014. After high school, Tavish proudly joined the United States Air Force. He completed boot camp in San Antonio, Texas, on July 3rd, 2015, and was later stationed at Dyess Air Force Base in Abeline TX, where he worked on flight control systems for the B-1 Bombers. His service to his country was a testament to his selflessness and unwavering sense of duty, always putting others before himself. Tavish served with honor, pride, and a strong commitment to protecting and supporting others.
Tavish was a devoted Christian with the purest heart. His faith shaped every part of who he was. He was always ready to lend an ear, offer a prayer, or stand front and center to support someone in need. If you knew Tavish, you knew he loved you—big. His light, love, and kindness touched countless lives. He was known for his unwavering faith and his signature phrase: “Jesus loves you, bro!”
In his younger years, Tavish was deeply involved in church outreach and brought many people closer to their faith. His joy was contagious, and his generosity knew no bounds. He gave the clothes off his back and the shoes off his feet—more than once. He volunteered wherever he was needed, from homeless shelters to churches and community efforts, always ready to lift others up.
Tavish had a vibrant soul and expressed himself through many passions. He loved to cook, and anyone lucky enough to share a meal with him knew how much heart he put into it. He had a natural rhythm and loved to dance—he could turn any moment into a reason to just move and smile. He also had a deep love for music and found joy in rapping, often sharing his thoughts, emotions, and stories through his own words and beats. His creativity was just another extension of the love he had for life and the people in it.
Tavish is preceded in death by his grandparents: Ellis Beck Jr., Carolyn Beck, and Danny Stayton.
He is survived by his beloved daughter Analiese , who was the light of his life, and his partner, Amber Fox. He also leaves behind his father and stepmother, Ellis Beck III and Edwina Beck; his mother and stepfather, Staci and Bowe Klish; his brother, Zane Klish; and his sisters, Rosie, Adrienne, and Alexandria; his grandparents Betty Stayton, Dom and Debbie Davino and Kenneth Klish Sr. and Kathy Arocha Jessup.
Tavish is lovingly remembered by many aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family, and countless friends whose lives were made brighter by his love and his light.
He leaves behind a legacy of faith, service, and joy that will continue to shine in the hearts of all who knew him.
“For though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again...” — Proverbs 24:16
