Victor Nick Becco

March 24, 1937 – January 25, 2026

Victor “Vic” Becco, 88, passed away peacefully on January 25, 2026, in Trinidad, Colorado.

Vic was, at his core, an educator. Teaching was not just his profession but his calling. Over a long and distinguished career, he served his communities as a teacher, vice principal, high school principal, and superintendent. In every role, he led with quiet strength, fairness, and deep respect for students and colleagues alike. He believed in people—especially young people—and spent his life helping them see their own potential.

Above all else, Vic was devoted to his family. He was a loving husband to his wife of 25 years, Rebecca “Becky” Becco. Together they shared a life of love and adventure, traveling to all 50 states and collecting memories along the way. Their partnership was marked by affection, laughter, and a shared love of exploring.

Vic was a proud and supportive father to his children: Vicki (Steve) Ropp, Greg (Sherry) Becco, and Jeff (Jo Ellen) Becco, and a caring stepfather to Barry (Melissa) Tregellas and Belinda (Kent) Brunelli. He took great joy in staying connected to his family and celebrating their lives and accomplishments.

Nothing brought him more happiness than being “Papa Vic” to his grandchildren: Justin Becco, Brooke Becco, Blake Becco, Brady Becco, Blaire Webber, and Brett Webber. He delighted in each of them and cherished the time he spent watching them grow.

Vic’s legacy lives in the many classrooms he guided, the communities he strengthened, and the family he loved so deeply. He will be missed beyond measure.

In keeping with his wishes, no services will be held. Memorial contributions may be made to Trinidad District 1 campaign for a new sports field honoring Vic’s lifelong dedication to education. Click here to donate.
