Jim Beckett is Detective Kate Beckett's father and widower of Johanna Beckett, Kate's mother, who was murdered while Kate was in high school.
In "A Chill Goes Through Her Veins", Kate tells Castle how her Dad became an alcoholic after Johanna's murder went unsolved, but has achieved several years of sobriety. It is his watch that Kate wears on her wrist in remembrance of how she saved his life by getting him to sober up.
In "Sucker Punch", he tells Kate how he couldn't sleep during her first year as a cop because he feared that the city would destroy her, but tells her not to be afraid of solving her mother's case.In "Knockout", he meets Castle for the first time and asks him to get Kate to walk away from her mother's case, fearing her obsession with solving the crime will lead to her death. After Beckett gets shot he comes to the hospital as fast as possible to see if his daughter is okay, and along the way breaks up a fight between Josh and Castle. He is overcome with joy to learn that Kate's still alive, and is told by a doctor to make sure he watches Kate closely. He then sees his daughter for himself and is so happy.
Note
While actor Scott Paulin, who plays Jim Beckett, appeared in the episode Knockdown, his scene was cut. But it can be seen on Season 3 DVD.
