He attended Sequoyah High School. He worked a variety of jobs and enjoyed cooking. He often took the opportunity to cook for his family and his burgers were the best! He possessed a great sense of humor and loved to tease his family whenever he got the chance. In his spare time he loved to go to Lake Standing Rock, and do a little swimming. He grew up in a traditional tsalag home, was a first language speaker, and loved to lead at the stomp dances. He loved games especially basketball and dancing. Any chance he had to gather with his family for a holiday gathering or a family picnic made him so happy, he adored every single niece and nephew. His health failed him and he passed from this life on August 17th, 2021 in Huntsville, AR. He was 62 years old and will be greatly missed.

He is preceded in death by his mother and father, Alex Sr. and Irene Beaver, two brothers, Dennis Ray and Johnny Lee Beaver and three sisters, Shirley Ann Murphy, Faye Dean Beaver, and Edna Lee Beaver.
