Milo Phillips Obituary

Mike's 79 years of life came to an end Sunday, Oct. 27. Cancer overcame this man that was full of beautiful music and stories of flying through the skies. Growing up in the Colorado mountains, his family performed as a band.
After starting college to study music, he chose to enter the Marines and start flight school. A long and successful career flying jets and working for Northwest Airlines gave him the opportunity to do what he loved.
Mike and Jan Phillips enjoyed traveling and spending time at home working on landscaping. After Jan's death in 1999, Mike returned to his love of music playing at two local churches and spending time with friends and family.
He is survived by his children, Lori Phillips, Julie Phillips, Monica and Matt Hampson; grandchilddren, Morgan and Milo Hampson; brother, John Robert Phillips.
Memorial services will be held Saturday, Nov. 2, at 11 a.m. at Sawnee View Memorial Gardens in Cumming.

To the family of Captain Mike Phillips, I extend my heartfelt sympathy on his loss. As a Northwest Flight Attendant, I had the opportunity to serve as part of his crew many times, and it was always a pleasure to do so. He was one of my most favorite pilots, and I knew I was always safe with him as our leader. He had a mind like a steel-trap, never forgetting any previous encounters or trips we would share. And, his dry wit was delightfully appreciated and invoked much laughter from his crews. God speed Mike... Soar with the angels.
