Remembering Dr. Don Beach: A Mentor, Colleague, and Friend

It is with a heavy heart that we mourn the loss of Dr. Don Beach, a longtime faculty member and Regents Professor in the Texas A&M System. He was a remarkable educator, a brilliant scholar, and an exemplary human being. Dr. Beach was not only a teacher but also a mentor, colleague, and friend to many of us who had the privilege of knowing him. He passed away unexpectedly on April 20th, 2023, leaving behind a legacy that will never be forgotten.

Dr. Beach was a renowned expert in the field of education. He earned his Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctorate degrees from the University of Texas at Austin and joined the faculty at the University of Texas at Arlington in 1977. Over the years, he also taught at Tarleton State University and Texas Tech University, leaving a lasting impact on his students, colleagues, and the institutions where he worked.

Many of us who had the privilege of being Dr. Beach's students have fond memories of his classes, his stories, and his "Beach-isms." He had a unique way of making even the most complex subjects understandable, and his enthusiasm for teaching was contagious. He was always available to his students and took a personal interest in their success, both academically and personally.

Dr. Beach was also a mentor and colleague to many of us who went on to pursue careers in education. He was always willing to share his knowledge, offer advice, and provide support, even years after we had left his classroom. He was a mentor in the truest sense of the word, someone who inspired us to be better educators and better human beings.

Dr. Beach's passing is a great loss, not only to his family and friends but also to the entire academic community. He will be deeply missed, but his legacy will live on through the countless lives he touched and the contributions he made to the field of education.

As we remember Dr. Beach, let us celebrate his life and his many achievements. Let us honor his memory by continuing his work and striving to make a positive difference in the lives of our students, just as he did. And let us keep the entire Beach family in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Rest in peace, Dr. Beach. You will be missed, but never forgotten.
