With the loss of Leonard Nimoy, will Beyond address the loss of the character actor? How can we pay homage to Nimoy in the new Series?
Will Beyond address the passing of Spock Prime?

Wouldn't surprise me if they filmed some extra footage of Spock just in case, you never know we may get to see Shatter saying goodbye to him in some way.
I'd rather just think that Spock Prime is out there helping rebuild Vulcan society. I don't need to have his final chapter written.
Oh, I hear you! Just listing some possible reasons. If anywhere, a possible Tribute should come in the form whatever TV Specials they are planning, IMHO.
I like your thought, above, personally, and also as an idea for a story line in a future movie! By then, we ought to be able to "recreate" anyone or anything!

Spock didn't die, Leonard Nimoy did. The passing of Nimoy can be acknowledged in a before or after film Memorial / Dedication.
Making Nimoy's passing a part of the story by making up some reason for Spock to have died would be a mistake on par with the death of James T Kirk, imo.

I was 23 when they wrote Kirk out of Trek. At the time, I thought change was good. But as I got older, I realized what a huge mistake it was. They cut out part of the heart of the franchise, I felt the same way when they axed Data.
Leonard Nimoy has died, but I'd prefer Spock Prime live on, or be left to assume he's living on and helping rebuild Vulcan. Maybe some small mention of him doing good somewhere.
It would be unnecessary if they kill Spock prime to honour Nimoy..
...which probably is what they will do, I bet it. For some reason I started to have this feeling since a while now..and the new comic series dedicated to him makes me feel like they are getting ready to say goodbye to his character. Idk why .
I guess, it would even make sense because there are two Spocks here and they cannot make a good use of the older one, which also might pose some conflict for the Spock of his reality. It would also seal this being a separate trek.
But really, they don't need to tell us he died. Just leave us with the thought he is living the rest of his years having this one more new adventure.
Edit: Nimoy loved what was done with Quinto-Spock and the differences between this Spock and his, I think the best way to honour him would be making a good movie that follows what was already done and respects the integrity of both Spocks without turning the 'new' one into a caricature of his version. Simple.

The comics already established Spock Prime disappeared shortly after STID. So if anything is mentioned about him in Beyond, it should be that.
This completely. "Dedicated to Leonard Nimoy" would be great*, Spock should keep on livin'.
Or maybe more? Like "Dedicated to Leonard Nimoy, Grace Lee Whitney, and all the family we've lost along the way..."
