David Phillips Obituary
A Life of Adventure, Courage, and Unforgettable Moments
David Charles Phillips passed away on January 6, 2025, at the age of 61. Born on January 6, 1964, David lived a life filled with incredible experiences, unforgettable stories, and a spirit that inspired those around him. His journey was one of remarkable accomplishments and perseverance, a testament to his strength and character.
David's career as an aerospace engineer showcased his brilliance and drive, while his fearless approach to life revealed his unshakable determination. Whether tackling challenges head-on or lighting up a room with his humor, he lived boldly and unapologetically. His life was one that kept you captivated, full of moments that were larger than life.
He is survived by his loving son, David Charles Phillips II; his three sisters, Sharon Bishop, Debbie Quella, and Jeannie Matthews; and his brother, Charles Phillips.
Instead of dwelling on the sorrow of his passing, we honor the time we had with him. Let us come together to celebrate a man who brought so much joy, laughter, and strength into our lives. Raise a glass in his memory and cherish the stories he left behind.
David, your kindness, warmth, and fearless spirit will live on in all who knew you. You leave behind a legacy of love and laughter that cannot be replaced.
