Florida country singer CJ Beach has died at 22 following a car crash in Wakulla County, hours after performing near Tallahassee.
The news of his death was confirmed by his father on Facebook as tributes started pouring in from fans as well as fellow musicians.
Beach died early Saturday, November 7. The Florida Highway Patrol (via Tallahassee Democrat) said a 22-year-old driver was traveling north on Rehwinkel Road near Oakwood Trail when the vehicle left the road and struck several trees at about 1:15 a.m. The driver was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities said he was not wearing a seat belt, and noted that the crash remains under investigation.
The initial highway patrol report did not identify the driver. Beach’s father later confirmed his son was the person killed.
Beach played at The Salty Donkey in Panacea, Florida, on Friday night, hours before the accident. He performed solo and with his band, CJ & The Deadmen, and regularly shared videos of himself singing and playing guitar on Instagram.
His final Instagram post, shared November 3, showed him performing his song “Cigarettes.”

He urged people to contact county commissioners to request warning lights and more signs on both sides of the curve on Rehwinkel Road. Charles said the crash happened at the same spot as an earlier wreck, adding that the bushes from that incident had not even grown back.
Beach’s work reached beyond his own performances. He founded the Deadmen Walking Music Festival, which brought local musicians and the community together. The festival gave emerging performers a place to play locally and helped strengthen the region’s independent music scene.
Tallahassee radio station X101.5 also paid tribute on Facebook, remembering his talent and offering condolences to his family, friends and the local music community.
“We are shocked and saddened to learn of the tragic passing of one of the most talented young musicians from our area in a long time. RIP CJ Beach,” the post read.
The Florida Highway Patrol investigation is ongoing.
