Kevin Taylor, aged 51, was found unconscious in Lichfield Street shortly before 5am on December 7, prompting police to launch an investigation.
Kejuan Malone, of Osprey Close, Birmingham, was arrested following the incident and charged with manslaughter on Monday (December 9) night.
The 32-year-old appeared before Walsall Magistrates Court today (Tuesday, December 10).
He was remanded in custody ahead of a trial at Wolverhampton Crown Court in January.
In the tribute issued by West Midlands Police, Mr Taylor's children said: "Dad, you were our hero, a guiding light who taught us love, kindness, and resilience.
"Your generosity and unwavering support touched so many lives, and your memory will forever live in our hearts. We love you deeply and will honour your legacy always.”
The parents of Mr Taylor, who is also known as Taisekwa, added that they would "miss him dearly".
West Midlands Police said it is continuing with its investigation and has urged witnesses or those with video footage to get in touch via Live Chat on its website, or by calling 101 and quoting log 610 of December 7.
