Frank Edward Beach, a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, passed away peacefully on January 6, 2026, in
Asheboro, North Carolina, at the age of 80. Born on August 7, 1945, in
Toledo, Ohio, Frank led a life filled with love, laughter, and dedication to his family and country.
Frank proudly served his nation as a US Army Vietnam Veteran, committing six years, four months, and two days to service with honor and distinction. Following his military career, he dedicated many years as a security guard for a hospital, ensuring the safety and well-being of others.
His passions extended beyond work and service; Frank had a deep appreciation for Harley motorcycles and was an avid long-time fan of the Dallas Cowboys. He enjoyed tinkering with anything mechanical, solving puzzles, and spending time in the company of animals. Frank relished gardening, shopping at yard sales and thrift shops, and decorating for Halloween and Christmas, bringing joy to all who visited his home.
Frank was a cherished member of the Moose Lodge, American Legion, and VFW, where he forged lifelong friendships and shared his indomitable spirit.
He is preceded in death by his mother, father, and daughter Michelle Kearney. Surviving him are his beloved wife of 38 years, Sue Beach; his son Wayne Mesa and daughter-in-law Tammy; his daughter Tatjana Beach Hussar and son-in-law Luke; his cherished grandchildren Hunter, Cody, Katie, Kyle, Nicki, Luke, and Austin; and his adored great-grandchildren Wyatt, LilyBeth, and Hattie. Frank's constant companion, his beloved Maltese dog, Cooper, also mourns his loss.
Frank was known for his quick wit and loved to tell corny jokes, bringing smiles and laughter to those around him. His generous heart and joyful spirit will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
Sincere appreciation is extended to the remarkable team at Hospice House, comprised of extraordinary individuals including dear friends Richard, Renee, Rosemary, Ashley, and Heather, who radiate boundless compassion and unparalleled kindness.
