---------------------------------------------------------
Philip Allen Hurd, Sr. was born August 12, 1952 in Los Angeles, CA, to Kenneth and Helen Hurd. The third of four siblings, including Frank, Kathleen, and Robin, he grew up and lived most of his life in Atlanta GA. There he met and married Jenny Anne Westerman (née Swanson) in 1982. He was friend and step-dad to her two children, Lisa and Matthew, and together they brought Gaelyn, Philip Jr, and Peter into the world. He was a practitioner of Transcendental Meditation for over 50 years. Throughout his life, he was devoted to his family, spiritual pursuits, and promoting health and wellbeing, especially through his work at the Atlanta Natural Health Clinic. With friends, he helped open the practice in 1983. Obtaining his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life University in 1991, he lovingly and passionately cared for patients there, delivering amazing chiropractic and nutritional support, until the end of his life. After a prolonged illness, he passed away peacefully at home on November 23rd, 2022, surrounded by family. He was preceded in death by his parents and by his beloved Jenny (passed March 8th, 2017). He is survived by his siblings, five children, seven grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. He will be remembered for his calm and gentle nature, for his wisdom about life and health, and for his devotion to his profession and principles. He is deeply loved and will be strongly missed.

With his decision to stop working at the office, Dr. Hurd accepted a significant end (of his work as a chiropractor) with dignity and strength. That Friday, November 11th, he also chose to begin hospice care sensing the end of his physical journey had also arrived after managing his disease for decades.
When the intake nurse asked me "when did he retire?", he laughed at my answer; "today".
His passion to serve was his driving Life force and facing the limits of his body, in his final weeks, his work became internal and very private.
On Wednesday, November 23rd, 2022, Dr. Philip A. Hurd passed away, joining his beloved Jenny on the other side of the veil. You will be invited to join us for a Celebration of Life after we (his kids) figure out when that will happen.
When he transitioned, he was at home, surrounded by the love of his family.
Thank you for making his Life so rich and purposeful. The ANHC family has been more of a gift to him than you can imagine.
In gratitude for his Life and your part in it,
Lisa
