Philmore Sylvester Beazer

Philmore Sylvester Beazer was born on September 29, 1956, in Antigua, West Indies, the second of four children of the late Benson Henry Beazer and Myrl (Forde) Beazer. He received his early education at Antigua Grammar School in St. John's, Antigua.
In 1979, Philmore migrated to the United States to pursue higher education. He attended Suffolk University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and a master's degree in accounting. He was also a Certified Public Accountant licensed in Massachusetts and North Carolina.
Philmore was introduced to God at a very early age by his mother and was baptized into the Parham Seventh-day Adventist Church fellowship in Antigua at the age of twelve. He was an ardent believer in God.
After migrating to Massachusetts, he promptly transferred his membership to the Berea Seventh-day Adventist Church in Boston, and later to the Braintree Seventh-day Adventist Church. Philmore was faithful to the work of God and lived a life of unwavering faith until the end.
In 1981, he met his beloved wife, Kerline Laurent, and they were married on June 8, 1985. Their union was blessed with two children: Khalil and Hasaan, and later, he joyfully adopted his great-niece, Sontee.
Philmore - graciously known to friends and family as Phil - was a devoted husband and father. He was a man of integrity and character, always prioritizing the well-being and success of his family.
He worked at The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for over 30 years, protecting investors and enforcing federal securities laws. As one of his colleagues commented, "he was quite knowledgeable and was someone who shared his wisdom, kindness and love for life so freely."
Phil had many passions, including gardening, cricket, track and field. Athletic and energetic, he enjoyed playing soccer, running marathons, and spending time at the gym. He also served as a positive role model, sharing good values with family and friends and giving generously wherever there was a need.
Philmore faced his final illness with courage and dignity, rarely complaining and always displaying integrity throughout the challenges he encountered. On December 22, 2025, he succumbed to his illness, leaving behind many wonderful memories cherished by all who knew him.
