Danny Laird Beach Jr., of Waverly Hall, Ga passed away July 2, 2026. He was born June 22, 1974, to Danny and Dorothy Jean Beach in Kokomo, IN. He lived his life with quiet strength, outdoor adventures, a great work ethic, and always a dining room table filled with good food. He was a prankster and always had a witty comeback. He was a lot like Peter Pan in the way that he stayed childlike at heart and never truly grew up along with his young at heart nature and fun-loving demeanor.

Danny proudly served his country in the United States Army. This period of his life instilled in him a lifelong since of discipline and a great love for his country. He enjoyed hunting and the peace that came from a chilly morning waiting on a big buck. He was a phenomenal cook and enjoyed trying exotic recipes. He loved to smoke and grill meats, fill plates too full, and tease about his secret recipes. He was a very proud Pop-Pop and his grandchildren brought him great joy. As much as he loved being a Dad to his girls, and Michelle’s husband being a Pop-Pop had become his favorite role in life. He leaves behind a legacy of strength, hospitality, and loyalty.
