James Domenic Beckner passed away peacefully on May 18th at home surrounded by his family after a year long battle with an aggressive cancer. Jimi was born on March 6, 1967 in Lehigh, Pennsylvania to James and Lucy Beckner. As a child he moved with his family to Port Aransas, Texas. After getting a taste of the Island Life, he decided to make Texas his home. He worked for MD Anderson in Houston for almost 20 years and the rest of his career running crews in the refineries. He spent his days off fishing with his brother Pete, riding motorcycles with his brother Norman and being a foodie with his sister Cindi. Jimi had been involved in AA and NA for decades and was always trying to help fellow addicts and alcoholics in recovery. He was known for his unusual humor, his free spirit and his willingness to help those in need. He kept that light all the way to the end.
