Phillip happily served in the trucking industry most of his life. He was an outstanding worker and loyal coworker. His career with Water Tech was one he cherished and enjoyed. The friendships and conversations he made along the way got him through his long days. Above all he loved his family, and his son Jason and daughter Sarah were his proudest accomplishments. His grandchildren, Ayden, Aric, Asher, and Millie, hung the moon. He would do anything for them and would do anything for anyone.

Phillip was a dedicated husband to his wife Karan for 29 years. He was one of seven children and the best son and brother you could ask for. He loved fellowship with friends and family and some good homemade ice cream. He will truly be missed by everyone that knew him.
