Phillip Patton Obituary
Phillip Patton
AUBURN - Phillip Jackson Patton, 59, died on Thursday, Aug. 17, 2023, at his home in Auburn, Indiana.
Phillip was born in Kendallville, Indiana, on June 10, 1964. He was raised by his mother and father, James and Anna (Stanley) Boggs.
He was an accomplished carpenter, and known for his ability to fix anything you placed in front of him. He loved to help his family, friends and neighbors with all of those pesky odd jobs.
Phillip loved the Tennessee Mountains, riding his motorcycle, and sitting on his porch swing with his best friend and brother Jim, but most of all he loved reading his Bible.
Survivors include his daughter, Jessica and Loretta Patton; brother, Jim Boggs; and sister, Betty Grady.
Mr. Patton was preceded in death by his parents, James and Anna Boggs.
Psalm 73:26 - "My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."

I graduated with Phil in high school, and never knew him to be a follower of Jesus back in those days. What a joy to hear that he loved to read his bible now. There must be an amazing story starting at some point in those 40 years between high school graduation and now. Would loved to have heard it. Glad he has the hope of heaven now that his days on earth are done.
