Father of two killed in crash weeks after mom died of COVID, Georgia family says
A 38-year-old father of two was killed in a car wreck in Georgia 5 1/2 weeks after his wife died of COVID-19, according to media reports.
David Lynn Beasley Jr. was killed on Oct. 21 after he rear-ended a log truck on state Route 21 in Effingham County, WJCL reported.
His wife Crystal died from the coronavirus on Sept. 17.
“She was a funny, very loving person,” David Beasley’s sister Coralynn Ricks told WTOC. “She loved everybody. It was really quick with her. And David, he was hilarious. He would always joke around. He was serious but not serious. They were just really good people.”
David and Crystal Beasley are survived by their 19-year-old daughter Makayla Beasley and 13-year-old brother Ethan Beasley, WTOC reported.
“This happening in such a short period of time has really been a strain on all the family emotionally, physically, and financially,” according to a GoFundMe created to support the couple’s two kids. “The family is doing everything possible to help Makayla and Ethan through these unexpected tragedies.”
