“Recently, a selfless angel returned to his place by the Lord’s side. Walter G. Beach II passed away, leaving behind Pamela Beach Dixon and beloved family members.

Beach has been known for and will be remembered by his singularly compassionate and loving personality.

His desire to inspire action in his community members was clear in his campaign for sixth district Milwaukee Alderman.

As President of the Wisconsin NAACP branch, Beach activated the community.

Though passionate to bring great change to his city, he maintained positivity and a forward-looking outlook.
