Beaman Green, , Jr.

Beaman Green, Jr., son of the late Coovanna Charity and Beaman Green, Sr., was born on November 11, 1940 in Fishing Creek, North Carolina. He peacefully departed from this earthy life on Monday, June 27, 2016 after a lengthy illness. He was educated in the Baltimore City Public School System and was later employed as a welder for the Maryland Shipbuilding & Drydock Company. Beaman had a passion to become an entrepreneur, which led him on the path of an owner operator for Diamond Cab Company in Baltimore. He pursued a loan from the Small Business Administration, which was a major accomplishment for blacks during that time. This became the joy of his life—cab number 829, and he was known to have one of the cleanest cab in the city. He accepted Christ at an early age and was a member at New Psalmist Baptist Church in Baltimore, Maryland. Beaman was loved by so many throughout the years and acquired the nicknames: “Reds”, “June”, “Bee”, and “Greeny”. He made numerous friends wherever he went and will be forever missed by everyone who knew him. He was known for his fiery red hair which matched his personality. Beaman also loved the sport of boxing and was a diehard Orioles fan—he always watched baseball on television. His family meant the world to him, especially his five siblings and Beaman really enjoyed hanging out with his children. Anyone that knew him well, knew that he loved to go to the horse race track and play his daily numbers. Although Beaman was known to speak his mind, he was strong, protective, honest, and loyal. Beaman said what he meant and meant what he said. His favorite saying was “all a man has is his word”. He leaves to cherish his memory: ten children, Trent Green, Scott Green, Denita Green, Tracy Green, Melvin Green, Sr. (Tere), Corey Green, Sr., Yvette Pittman (Robert), Domanika Green, Gabrielle Green, and Charleesiama Green; sister, Faith Campbell; three brothers, Ruby, Trent, and Paige Antonio (preceded him in death); very special brother, Carroll, who cared for him until the Lord called him home; very devoted friend, Sandra Day; and a host of grandchildren, greatgrandchildren, nieces, nephews, and relatives.
