Florida country singer CJ Beach has tragically passed away at the age of 22. He died in a car crash during the early hours of Saturday, November 7, shortly after performing at the Panacea restaurant venue, the Salty Donkey, the previous evening.

CJ’s father, Charles Beach, confirmed his son’s death through a heartfelt Facebook post. He expressed his gratitude for the support and condolences received. He wrote, “I appreciate all of the outpouring feelings and thoughts about my son CJ.” Charles noted the difficulty of seeing posts with pictures and videos of his son but acknowledged the love and admiration CJ received from many.

Charles made a poignant request to readers of his post. He urged them to contact the county commissioners to install warning lights and signs on both sides of a curve on Rehwinkle Road. This location was where CJ’s car accident occurred, and he noted that it had been the site of a previous crash. He stated, “CJ’s wreck was in the same spot as the last wreck there. The bushes hadn’t even grown back.”

According to details from the Tallahassee Democrat, a 22-year-old man died when his vehicle left the road and struck several trees. The driver, identified by local officials as not wearing a seatbelt, was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident.

CJ Beach was cherished in his community. He was known as both a solo artist and the lead member of the band CJ & The Deadmen. He also founded the local Deadmen Walking Music Festival, which brought together community members and musicians for a night of live music. Tallahassee radio station X101.5 highlighted this festival in a social media post, underscoring its impact.

CJ often shared videos of himself performing on his Instagram account, further endearing him to fans and followers. His talent and community spirit will be missed by many.
