Philip Edward Meyer

Philip Edward Meyer, 75, of Charleston, SC entered into eternal rest on Saturday, March 29, 2025.

Philip was born on April 11, 1949 at Hamilton Field AFB in Novato, California, where his father, Lt Col. Edward G. Meyer, was stationed as a bomber pilot. Besides the California Bay Area, and as part of an Air Force family, Philip also lived in Dover, Delaware and New Delhi, India, before landing at Charleston AFB, SC. After his father's retirement from the Air Force, Philip's family moved to nearby Summerville, SC with his mom, Eileen Hay-Jahans Meyer.  Philip attended Riverside Military Academy in Gainesville, GA before attending and graduating from Summerville High School.

Philip proudly served in the Navy on the USS Sunbird from 1970-1972 where he was awarded the National Defense Service Medal. After serving in the Vietnam War, he showed his support for many organizations such as Wounded Warriors, Vietnam Memorial Fund, USO, Disabled Veterans Foundation and many others.  As a young adult, Philip moved back to Charleston.   He started working for Brigman Foods, where he spent the better part of his career and later retired with US Foodservice.

Philip was an avid golfer. He recently shot a hole in one at Stono Ferry at the 2nd hole. He had a love for softball and played with Hughes Construction in his earlier years. Philip also was a devoted bowler through Ashley Lanes in West Ashley. He bled orange for his Clemson Tigers and always wore his tiger paws with pride! He had a deep love for music no matter the style, but The Eagles had a special place in his heart. You could always find him and Nancy in the yard as they enjoyed making their place their own little oasis.

Philip is survived by his loving and devoted wife of 46 years, Nancy Condon Meyer; their two daughters, Lauren (Brad) Rochford and Ashley (David) Puckhaber; their three grandchildren, Kate, Avery and Emily Rochford and his two sisters, Karen Marie Meyer of Steilacoom, WA and Melanie Anne Meyer of Anchorage, AK.

A Funeral Service will be held at 12:00 PM, Friday, April 4, 2025, at the James A. McAlister Chapel, 1620 Savannah Highway, Charleston. The family will receive friends and loved ones one hour prior to the service.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Wounded Warrior Project (www.support.woundedwarriorproject.org).
