Philip George Wenker

Born on January 14, 1967, in Arcadia CA, Phil brought joy, warmth, and a steady presence to everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. He dedicated much of his life to education, serving as a committed and compassionate school administrator. His leadership, integrity, and unwavering care for students and staff left a lasting impact on countless lives and communities.

Phil was a man who deeply cherished life and the people in it. He found joy in the outdoors and was happiest shooting sporting clays or perfecting his grilling skills on the Traeger. Whether he was fishing, working out, or cheering on the Arizona Cardinals, Phil lived with energy and enthusiasm. He had a deep love for sports and rarely missed a game.

Above all, Phil treasured his time with family. He loved traveling with his wife, Tris, and spending time with his children, Alex and Lauren. His sense of adventure and appreciation for life’s simple pleasures made every family moment special and unforgettable.

Phil is survived by his loving wife Tris, devoted children Alex and Lauren, his sister Annette Alpert, cherished nephew Wyatt, niece Danielle, and many other beloved extended family members and friends.

He will be remembered for his kindness, strength, and the genuine love he gave to all those around him. Phil’s legacy lives on in the hearts of those he touched, and his spirit will forever remain a part of the places and people he held dear.

A celebration of Phil’s life will be held soon, with details to be shared with friends and family. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you honor Phil by spending time outdoors with your loved ones, just as he would have loved.
