Philip Wesley Beckley

Philip Wesley Beckley, 66, passed away May 30th, 2014 at Heart Hospital in Albuquerque. He is preceded in death by parents, Philip W. and Vivien Beckley of Boerne, Texas. Philip is survived by four children, Wesley Charles Beckley and Ian Philip Beckley of Albuquerque; Philip Ernst of Arizona, and Jenny Ernst of Ohio; two sisters, Laura and Holly, and many relatives scattered throughout the Southwest. Phil attended middle and high school in Albuquerque and competed in various sports, including football and track and field at Albuquerque Academy and Highland High School. Phil maintained a life-long interest in athletics, and was accomplished in flying, skiing and downhill racing, tennis, cycling, and fishing. The mountains were Phil's element, and he was quick to take up activities that involved being outdoors under his beloved "blue New Mexico skies." A memorial service for friends and family will be held at a later date.
