I will never forget you and the times we spent together. Prayers to Phils kids and grandkids. What a awesome guy he was.

Phil's generosity, thoughtfulness, and willingness to donate so much of his time in helping others made him a very special man indeed!  I'm sure the doors of heaven were wide open for Phil when he arrived.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time of losing such a wonderful person and I give them a BIG THANK YOU for sharing such a big part of Phil's life with the rest of us.

Generous, Funny, Proud, Strong, Protector..
 
My dad was all of these things. I could stand here today and tell you stories and wonderful memories of my life with my dad, but I choose to keep those moments for myself. Instead I would like to just take a moment to thank him. Thank him for the man he was and the life lessons he has given to me.
 
My dad and I had only a short 37 years to share in this life, but what he showed me will carry me through the remaining years of my life.
 
My dad was the most generous person I have even known. I believe he was put here to help others. He did this job very well. There is nothing that my dad would not do for a loved one, or even sometimes a complete stranger. If you needed something and he caught wind of it, he would do everything in his power to see that you got it. Whether it be cash to get you by, or fixing your car, or even a roof over your head….he was there. Even though this attribute could be draining on him emotionally and physically, he never said a word. I am continually blown away by stories from people of my dads generosity.
 
My dads love of life was simply contagious. His family was the most important thing in is life. He learned to never take a single moment for granted. He gave my brothers and I a love of music, practical jokes. There was never a dull moment when we were all together. We had the most amazing vacations, full of love and laughter. My dad was truly a bright light in a sometimes dull world. I will forever continue to try and see the world the way my dad did….full of hope and promise.
 
There is no doubt that my dad was stubborn. He was a proud bull headed man. A attribute that both of my brothers are stuck with. The wonderful part of this trait is that with my dad -- when it came to family there was no backing down, no giving up. My dad, quite stubbornly, battled cancer for over a year on his own. By the time he was diagnosed there was not much the medical world could do for him. He didn't let that back him down. He dug in his heals and researched and tried every possible option out there for him. He did this all alone. He was so proud and strong that he didn't want to worry or burden anyone he loved. He was strong and courageous in his fight. He never backed down in his battle even when his physical self could no longer keep up. He never asked why me or asked for sympathy…He would said it is what it is..there is no reason to sit around and mope or be depressed and then he would give you that smile, and you couldn't help but smile with him.
 
In the end, my dad was surrounded by just my brothers and myself. It was like he was waiting for just that moment. We held him and he left this painful world for one filled with peace. I truly believe my dads spirit was just to strong for his earthly body. There was too much giving and doing for his body to be able to keep up. So now my father has been called home to be with his family and continue the wonderful acts of kindness from above. I know I will forever have an angel watching over me.
 
My amazing daddy showed me how to be a better me. He gave me my brothers to watch over me. He was soooooo very proud of ALL of his family and friends.
 
 Dad - I will continue to be Generous, Loving & stubborn just as you would have wanted me to. I will continue to do random acts of kindness in your honor. Thank you dad for all that you were and all that you taught me.  I will carry in my heart forever part of your spirit. I love you Daddy.

Phil was in my life for a short time but his smile will stay with me forever.  He was a joy be around.  He is the only man, besides my dad, who insisted on walking between me and the street.  He was a gentleman.  To his family, I'm truly sorry for your loss and you are in my prayers.

Phil was a good man who knew how to enjoy life. He will be missed by his family and many friends. My condolences to his Family.

I went to East High with Phil.  He was always the nicest guy.  I am so sorry for your loss.

Phil was a great guy.  I always enjoyed talking to him during the first period at Thunder games.  He will be dearly missed!

Phil:
RIP, glad to have known you, since your childhood..Thoughts/Prayers to your Loving Family, for comfort, pleasant memories, and healing, in losing You...

I'm so sorry to hear of Phil's death.  He was one of those people who never knew a stranger, and people warmed to him almost instantly.  He was truly a good person and it was my privilege to know him.  Our paths crossed for a very short time, but his warmth, caring nature, and friendliness are unforgettable.  Rest in peace, Phil.  You deserve all good things, because you brought so much into others' lives.

Deah, I am so sorry for you and your family.  I love you.  Your dad was so kind and loving.  My heart hurts for you.  You all are in my prayers.

Deah, Jason, Miss Avery, Jackson,Dereck,Damon, Trisha and family....sending love and prayers your way and thinking of all you during this time of SAD in your life.  May our Heavenly Father comfort and bless you all.

Phil was the first boy I ever had a crush on.When we met in kindergarten at Linwood, he asked me my middle name. I told him that it was Darlene. He thought I said Darling and called me Linda Darling for the next couple of years. He was just the cutest boy. I'm so sorry to hear of his passing.

Phil was the kind of person that you couldn't help looking up to and an example of what life should be about. My deepest simpathy to his family.

 Deah,Jason,Avery,Jackson and all your family!We are saddened to hear of your great loss in the death of Phil.May our Lord and Saviour,Jesus Christ,hold you in His loving arms and give you comfort as you grieve and may you find comfort in knowing that you are in our prayers.Love you guys.

Michelle & Felicia,  I was so saddened to hear about Philip...I remember how he used to try and entertain us when we were kids Michelle. What a great brother! You and your families are in our prayers and thoughts.

Back to the light of love.The Truth of who you  are. Blessings on your Journey home.

Phil's kindness and fairness in the workplace as a young supervisor is how I shall remember him.  My sympathy to his family. May God bless and comfort you in the loss of your loved one.

Our Prayers go out to the family of a wonderful man.  He gave of himself without asking for much in return.  His generosity never stopped, and he gave from the HEART!  
May the family find closure with his transitition to his journey.  He is now with the Best friends he has know.
GOD be with you, the family!

Gone, but absolutely never forgotten.  What a good man and great friend.  I have taken a number of people off my email list over the years.. this will be the hardest of them all.

Even on my worst days, Phil could pick me up, and inspire me to be my best.  He always spoke from the heart, and could always put even the most negative situation in a positive light.  He will be missed.

To Phil's family; my sincere condolences and prayers.  What a great and caring guy. Since he and I went to Thailand several years ago I enjoyed every time we got together and kicked around ideas. His love for life was contageous.

We have lost a good friend. Through out the years Phil has helped me in so many ways. He was a kind and generous soul. He will be greatly missed. I will continue to pray that God will comfort his family and give them the peace that only comes from Him.

There are few who stand tall among the crowd, fewer who stand strong among the crowd and even fewer who stand unchanged among those who waver. "Fiberglass" Phil was one of those very few that many of us looked up to. I am proud to have called him my friend. He will be missed. My sympathy goes out to his family and his friends.

Rip to a kind man ... Condolences to his family, thank you for being there for me at exactly the perfect time... I will pray

Phil had a way about him that made us all want to be like him in some way. God is lucky to get this man so early in life. My prayers are going out for you all.

May he rest in peace. Prayers for family.
New him well.  I am happy for him. Celebrate his life..Gods blessings..

To Phil's family .. our deepest sympathies to you all. Phil was funny, informed, and a great friend who always tried to help everyone. He will be sorely missed.
