I happen today to look up Beasley’s obituary page which I have not visited in decades (1984). I met Beasley at the Wayne County Sheriff (Jail Division I, If I am correct, he left the Sheriff's he went to DPD (next door to the DPD station). I remember hanging out once with another female deputy (Janice Fowler). She became Corporal at the DTW airport when I was a Sergeant on the afternoon shift. Officer Beasley was so cool and laidback. That was in 84 or 85, I am in the ATL (10/8/20) in the midst of a global health pandemic, global civil unrest, and the murdering of our unarmed, often cuffed, innocent Black people, I went down memory lane when I recently heard about Corporal Searcy's murder by an inmate on his night rounds in the William Dickerson jail (9/3/20), my mind came to Corporal Dickerson. The Dickerson Jail was named after Corporal William Dickerson's death when he was shot by an inmate in the same jail(1999). I worked at that same jail as an officer and a Sergeant for 10 years. I met Cal Dickerson when he civil warrants to work in then jail II. Then my heart went down memory lane and I thought about Corporal William Scarbourgh who died in a car accident as a passenger in a vehicle going to a police training. I supervised then officer Scarborough as a Sergeant at the Wayne County Sheriff MetroAirport. He died February 2005 , 1 month after my father died on January 9, 2020. Then I googled the fallen DPD officers who were murdered and fallen due to the Covid19. As I scrolled down the names, is where I noticed Officer Beasley’s name. My prayers goes out to these fellow officers and officers I have personally met, worked, and enjoyed our best lives. I pray for these families, mothers, fathers, sisters, brother, children and friends. They were great officers who were honorable, officers, leaders, and community , and husbands, and friends, my heart and prayers go out to them all during these critical times. I retired in 1997 as a Sergeant from the Wayne County DTW Metro Airport. I am now retired and living in MetroAtlanta. Dr Cecily Cornish

Never forgetting my big brother. We had plans after retirement....all taken away by a low life. Continue to rest my brother. In a special way, we're still doing things together. Forever love....see you on the other side.

Dad just showed me this sight... and it brought back memories again. He speaks of the relationship that you all had all the time, and I know he respected and loved you dearly. I remember your funeral.. it was on my 6th birthday. I hate that you are not here to keep dad in line, but I know that you served your purpose and did your calling. Giving your life while serving others is highly respected. Love you.Continue to rest in peace.

Still missing you big brother. I know we would have done something together after retirement. Guess I will have to do it by myself in your memory and in your style. Officer Beasley's spirit will be with me for the rest of my life.

My faithful servant.
You were called upon to serve others.
You were asked to see, what no man should ever have to see.
To go through, what no man should ever have to go through.
But you did so with pride, honor, and integrity.

My faithful servant.
You were called upon to defend those, who could not defend themselves.
To provide justice to those, who did not respect it.
To lay down your life, if the time called for it.
Again, you did not question what was asked of you.
You did it with love, compassion, and loyalty.

My faithful servant.
In times of adversity, you prayed for strength.
In times of triumph, you praised your Lord.
You served your Country, State, and city proud.
Your service will forever be remembered by the many lives you’ve touched.

My faithful servant.
When your service on this earth is finally complete.
I will welcome you home with open arms.
I will embrace you and proclaim,
“Well done thou good and faithful servant.”


Rest in peace my brother.

Dad,
You died doing what you love to do best. Protecting your family and others from these criminals on the street. Even though you are not physically here with me, I know you are here in my spirit and heart. I continue to hold my head up high and speak to everyonr highly about you. I wish you were here to meet your granddaughter but trust me, she knows more about you as if you were here. I thank you for having and leaving the true friends at the DPD. They look after me and grandchild often. Life will never be same with you gone and I wish you were still here. I still cry when I hear or speak your name. I still cry at night wishing you were still here. wondering why you had to leave me. wondering why god couldn't keep you here with me a little longer. Why? Why? Why? I ask that everyday. Why not the criminals that you removed from the streets. Why did God have to take someone who was trying to protect us, not harm us. Daddy, I love you! Even though you are here with me heart and soul and know we will meet again! I LOVE YOU DADDY!!!!
