His brother, Dave Beckett, said, “He had personal accountability to that place, and that place had no accountability to him.”
Greg Beckett’s work focused on the bank’s internal controls that protect it from risks.
A manager at the bank says Beckett “had been working on a number of high importance, high stress projects at work for an extended period of time.”
Before his death, Beckett reportedly spoke out about the stress, saying, “If we don’t find healthy ways to address it, there will be negative consequences of one form or another.”
Beckett texted his girlfriend, Giovanna Muraca, and told her to go ahead with dinner without him. This occurred shortly before he took his own life. (Trending: Trump Makes The Biggest Promise Of His Political Career)
“I was told to ‘not leave if possible,’” he wrote.
Dave Beckett says no one from the company attended his funeral.
“We’re deeply saddened by the loss of our colleague,” a spokeswoman for Wells Fargo said in a statement.
“Greg was a valued member of our team. As we all know, it’s virtually impossible to identify a reason when a tragedy like this occurs. There is nothing more important to all of us at Wells Fargo than our colleagues’ well being.”
