Phillip Andrew Paddon

I am so sorry to hear of Phillip´s passing. We worked together for many years at the Hilton. I have missed his smile at work for the last 2 years. Rest in peace.

My condolences to Phillip´s family. He will truly be remembered and missed!

Rest in peace and out of pain, our sweet Phillip! It was great working with you and we will always remember you! Prayers of comfort for your family that you loved so much!

Dearest Phillip, Barry and I were so happy to reconnect with you when we ran into you at the Hilton and then saw you out a few times out at the Rock 'N' Bowl. We were so sad to hear the news of your illness at our Haynes Junior High reunion in October, but we were happy that we got to spend some time with you. Gone from our sight, but never from our hearts. May you find rest and peace now. My deepest sympathies to your family.

We went to Grace King together. He was always so sweet and nice. Prayers for his family and friends during such a difficult time

My condolences to you and the family!

My condolences to the family, Phillip was a very special and friendly guy it was a pleasure to work with him for many years.

HEAVEN HAS RECEIVED AN ANGEL,

Jen (my wife) & I met Phillip at Mr. Ed's working there together many years ago. We soon became close friends. We played Spades at our apartment every Tuesday night and Phillip even stood in our wedding. His laugh was contagious and he was always a joy to be around. He will be missed! Rest in peace my friend, until we meet again, John Morris

Greg and I had the pleasure of meeting Phillip many, many years ago at Mr. Ed´s on Live Oak. Phillip was such a loving person who made us both feel as we had known him for years. His laughter and tboughtfulness was so endearing. We pray for your family and know Our Lord is holding you in the palms of HIS LOVING HANDS. Rest in peace dear Philip. You will be sadly missed by so many people. Greg and Cheryl Gilchrist

I had the pleasure of working with Phillip at Spirits bar in the Hilton. He was one of the best coworkers and such a sweet friend. I have enjoyed watching his travels on Facebook and forever grateful that we got to spend some of the time of our lives together. Sending love and hugs to family and friends, he will be missed so much.

I met Phillip when my gf and I were in NOLA in 2008 for a Saints game, but we also wanted to watch the LSU game somewhere that Saturday afternoon. I recalled seeing that the bar at the Hilton Riverside had TV´s all around the bar when I was there for a conference a couple of years earlier, so that´s where we went and were very lucky to have gotten bar stools in Phillip´s section. We became fast friends, and over the last decade and a half, we managed to spend a lot of time together, fishing, boating and festival hopping whenever we were down there. Even got him to come to Natchez one weekend for an event. That smile, that infectious laugh and the genuine nature of his being, were all what made loving Phillip such an effortless task. You just knew he truly love you...and he love all his many friends with the same depth and tenacity. He will be missed by us and by anyone who ever had the privilege of calling him friend! God speed good man...May the heaven you enter be filled with white sandy beaches and the waters abundant with fish to fill your buckets. Know you are loved always!

I will miss you so much my friend have a good rest in heaven and keep watching over us. We love you

I met Philip in 2006 working at the Hilton. We soon after hit it off. He had such a wonderful and caring personality that we all loved and he will be miss! Through the years I got to know him more and more and loved working with him!

Philip was a great guy and my wife and I got to know him over the years when we traveled from Lafayette to New Orleans for my business or a pleasure trip! We always booked the Hilton Riverside because of Philip! We loved getting in and going straight to the bar to see if he was working. He was such a pleasure to know and we mourn his loss. May he rest in peace

I will always remember and I´ll never forget how much we cut up at Daiquiris and creams and all the home haircuts at your home. Your infectious laugh and loving heart will be forever missed. Rest easy my friend! Sending lots of love to your loving family. This I know you loved your nieces, sister, and momma. You put your girls on a pedestal. You had a genuine heart. One that don´t come around to often. RIP my Friend. You will be so missed and loved!

You'll be missed but never forgotten

What I wanted to say was he was such a a Sweetheart

Rest in Heaven Phillip, you were such a Sweet
