Phillip Ryan Volkert, 68, of Angola, went home to be with his Lord and Savior Sunday, April 12, 2020 at his residence. Born on February 17, 1952 in Fort Wayne, he was a son of the late Victor and Eula (Hammonds) Volkert.
Phil retired from Phelps Dodge/Rea Magnet Wire after 41 years. He was a member of First Assembly of God, Fort Wayne. Phil had a love for cars and racing, fishing, golfing, loved watching old black and white movies and was a member of the NRA. He was a handyman and performed maintenance at Hi-Vue Campground. He had a love for his family, and his four grandchildren were the apple of his eye. Phil had a big heart and wouldn't hesitate to help someone in need.
