1956 - 2009
Phillip "King" David Marmolejo 1956 - 2009 Phillip "KING" David Marmolejo, born November 11, 1956, went to be with his Almighty Lord and Savior August 12, 2009. Survived by his loving and devoted wife of 32 years, Cynthia and their children: Monique and her husband Jason McNitt, Melissa and her husband Ranna Lock, David and his wife Renee, Marcos, Carlos, Victoria, and Sarah. He is also survived by his grandchildren Jacob, Benjamin, Hanna, Robby and James. He leaves behind his parents Felipe and Mary Marmolejo, and his sisters, Teri and her husband Paul Sisemore, Mary and her husband Raul Castaneda, and his brother, Joe and his wife Elena. He was also blessed with many tios, tias, cousins, nieces, nephews, and an abundance of friends, whom he loved very much. Anyone that had the privilege of knowing Phillip knew that he had a servant's heart. He was very giving and always ready and willing to help anyone in need. For many years he has been a member of Valley Bible Fellowship serving as a deacon and a team leader to Mexico. He was also the VP of the Kern County Mineral Society. He was an avid 49er fan. He was a man of integrity, a man of his word, and a very diligent worker who always strived for perfection. He loved the Lord and was passionate about sharing his love of the Lord with everyone. There is so much more we could say about him; how do you sum up an amazing life? He ran the race well, and finished well. Phillip touched many hearts along the way, starting with family and friends, but not stopping there; he reached out to the community in a multitude of ways and knew no strangers because he was a friend to all. His life and love had no boundaries and was felt around the world; he will be deeply missed. Visitation will be held Monday, August 17 from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. with a service at 7:00 p.m. at Valley Bible Fellowship. A celebration of his life will be held on Tuesday, August 18 at 10:00 a.m. at Valley Bible Fellowship, followed by a burial at Hillcrest Cemetery and a reception immediately following at Valley Bible Fellowship Station 316. Pallbearers will be David Marmolejo, Marcos Marmolejo, Carlos Marmolejo, Jason McNitt, and Ranna Lock. Honorary pallbearers will be Joey Marmolejo, Andy Aldana, Raul Castaneda, Paul Sisemore III, and Larry Esqueda. Donations can be made to the Phillip Marmolejo Memorial Fund at Kern Schools Federal Credit Union at any location.

Brother, the 13th anniversary of your passing is just around the corner. Even though it was a very sad and tragic day for all of us, I now like to refer to it as your "glory day."

You are forever in our thoughts and hearts.I love you, Brother. ~ your sister, Teri, who still admires you very much!

Dad, I still miss you so much. I know you miss us too. Sometimes I wonder how things would be different if you were still with us. We all have babies now except for Victoria. You were such a good Grandpa. I wish they all could have met you. A few months ago, I almost called you as if you were still alive. I don't know how you made all this look so easy, sometimes life is just so hard. Not like I can't do it hard, more like what the heck hard. My heart so bad sometimes and at the same...

I have been thinking about all the time I got to spend working with you. Actually all the time you were teaching me how to work. I will never forgot all the things you have taught me. Especially the most important thing, how to love. Thank you for giving me so much. Sometimes I get frustrated because you are not physically here then I remember how blessed I am for having you the time you were here. I love you Dad
