Phillip Talley Obituary
Service: 9:30 a.m. Saturday in Moore Funeral Home Chapel. Interment: Moore Memorial Gardens. Visitation: 6 to 8 p.m. Friday in the chapel of the funeral home.
Phillip was born July 26, 1984, in Arlington. He was a 2003 graduate of Martin High School, where he was a member of the varsity Warrior ice hockey team. His energetic personality was admired by everyone who came into his life. Phillip's love of hockey began in the fifth grade, and he continued to play as a goalie for the Army of Twelve Monkeys, the Warriors, and the Patriots. "Diddy," a favorite nickname among his friends, formed many deep friends throughout the years. He enjoyed life and continued to stay in touch with "the gang." Phillip's enthusiasm carried over in his teaching at Children's Courtyard, where he taught in the after-school program. "Mr. Phill," as his kids affectionately called him, was well-loved by his co-workers, the children he adored and their parents.
Phillip will be deeply missed by his family, his Courtyard family, his hockey family and his friends. A blog has been created by his fellow hockey players in his memory, www.eulesshockeystop.blogspot.com.
Survivors: His parents, Morris Dean Talley Jr. and Josie Talley; sister, Monica Talley; brothers, Eric Talley and Gary Talley; nieces, Marlena Girouard and Trinity Talley; and many other family members and loving friends.

It's been 3 years and I still cry. I can still remember me (katherine),whitney,sami,kayla,and summer was you're favorite people at least thats how you acted and you told us that.Me and my family pray for every single night for you're family.I can still remember the first time I met Phill was in jr.pre-k when he showed us his spider bites on his legs and of course i'm kind of like a tom-boy and thought they where so cool that's when I became his friend. I still can't stand he's gone I even miss the times when we fought.

TO the Talley family, I used to work with Phil and he used to pick on me all the time. He was a true friend when i need one. He will be missed and it still breaks my heart to know that he is gone. Just yesterday Robyn and I was talking about how crazy he was and how we used to get the "wrath" of Phil. :) It was a pleasure to know one of GODS angels!

To Phillip's Family and friends - my heart is still so broken over Phillip being gone. My daughter was one of Phillip's CCY kids. He was my friend too. Like a little brother. I always looked forward to his hugs each morning, and his waves when he'd pass us driving the CCY bus to Dunn Elementary. His face lit up every time he saw us, and I miss that so much! I miss him so much. God couldn't have chosen a more glorious angel! But selfishly, I still wish he were here with us!

Phillip, it truly breaks my heart that you are gone. When I heard the news I just couldn't believe that it had happened. You were one of the first people that talked me through my grandfather's death and now I can't even tell you how Thank full I was for you. I had so much fun having the chance to work with you every day at CCY. You really did have a gift and could touch everyone's hearts. Sadly I started working for the police department two days after your wreck and heard about the call to your crash, and it broke my heart. I truly cannot believe you are gone, my prayers and thoughts go to your family and CCY. You will be missed greatly.

I am totally sorry he passed away. I found out through my friend's on facebook. I didn't know that he passed away. I know him since we went to high school. I am from Arlington, Texas but living in Toronto, Ontario Canada. I can't believe he is gone! I am very deeply with him. He is the greatest player. I will never forget about him. He is in our heart forever.

Phillip, I can't believe it has been almost 5 months since we lost you. You were such an amazing person and an inspiration to us all. You had a heart of gold that everyone could see when they talked to you. Your smile would brighten an entire room and bring so much happiness to those in it. I miss you so much Phillip. Courtyard just wasn't the same without you. Nobody there to make us laugh and feel better if something was bothering us like you did. You're always in my thoughts and in my heart. Forever and always. My love and prayers go out to the Talley family. I know it is be very hard to have lost a loved one, especially one like Phillip. He was such a beautiful person inside and out. His memory will live on forever. I miss you so much Phillip. I know you're in a much better place and we will all join you one day.

My heart was broken to hear of Phillip's passing. I looked forward to our afternoon conversations at Mary Moore. Phillip always had a smile and a kind word when picking up his CCY kids. He was a bright spot in the day. I will truly miss our visits.
To his family,may God bless you with peace that only He can give.
Your son, brother, and uncle was a very special person.

Phil,
You were the first person to welcome me to the courtyard staff when I joined. You made me feel comfortable and at ease with the kids. I loved the time we spent together and the memories that I will always have in my heart of us. We talked about nutrition and football everyday. You taught me how to perfect my spiral. I will miss you more than you will ever know. You have impacted my life as well as many others. You had more love in your heart than anyone I have ever met. No words could describe the feelings people have for you.
To phillip's family:
I am deeply sorry for your loss. Your son was one of the most inspirational people in the world. You raised a wonderful person and he will be always missed. My thoughts and love go out to you.

Phillip, as long as we remember you... Your Spirit remains with us - passionate to a fault, aggressive, competitive, and with all your heart, having touched so many in your short time here - so much for so many of us to learn from in those respects.
I'll miss ya, boy - and I'll always smile when I think of you - I'm lucky to have known you.

Condolences for Phill's family, friends, and his "kids",
I was fortunate to meet Mr. Phill through my granddaughter, Taylor Brooks, and her 3 yrs. at CCY. He attended many family gatherings at the home of my daughter and son-in-law, Dan and Angela Brooks. He would have a blast entertaining the kids (and adults) by having marshmallow wars, water balloon competitions and face painting with all the zest that youth has to offer. I'll never forget all the giggles and screams of delight from those times. Phill had a true gift of relating to so many people, both young and old. This special friend was taken from us and the world so young and untimely. His earthly presence will be gone from sight, but Phill's loving and beautiful spirit will keep growing and remain alive in the hearts of the children and friends who knew and loved him. The memories of how Phill celebrated life will always bring a smile to our faces. He will be missed.
God's blessings to all of you,
Taylor's Nanna

Phil,
I want to thank you for the time you spent with T.J. You are his Hero, and now I can see why. I want to also say to your family thank you for bringing one of the most spectacular people I have ever had the opportunity to know into this world. If a person was to ever want his son to be like someone, Phil you are that guy. We will never forget you.

And Always T.J.

To The Talley Family:
Our deepest sympathies go out to you. Both of our children attend The Children's Courtyard and even though they had not yet been in the after school class yet, he knew both by first name. I think the times he helped out in the Pre-K class made an impression on my daughter, Ashley. She loves art and many times he would take the time to draw pictures for her at her request. Those always made it to her collection at home! He was a positive role model for all of the children he came in contact with and we thought the world of him and looked forward to the day when our children would have the opportunity to be in his class.
Our prayers are with you and to all who are hurting in his passing.

I still have so many things i want to say and wish i would have another chance to look you in the eyes and tell you how wonderful you really are.You had a gift that very few people have in this world and so many people loved you for it.I looked forward to coming to work everyday because i knew i would see you and somehow, someway you would always make me laugh.I will never forget your handsome face,your smile, or your loving heart.I want you to know you will always be in my thoughts and you hold a huge spot in my heart.I realize God needs you more than we do and even though it's hard to understand,I know you're in a better place.You have a new job now and that's being someone else's guardian angel.I will miss you dearly and I love you so much P.
Love always,

To the Talley Family my deepest sympathies go out to you during your time of sorrow. My daughter Lee-Joy attended the Children's Courtyard and just thought the moon of him. We had just seen Phil on Friday at a local 7-Eleven and my daughter was just beside herself wanting to go say 'Hi' and give him a hug..needless to know that would be the last we would see of him. He was a wonderful, mannerable, gentleman at all times. Rest peacefully, Phil.

Words can never express my sadness at this loss. I will always remember Phillip for countless wonderful qualities, but most important was his huge heart and the love that he shared with everyone he ever knew. I know he is in a better place, but it still hurts. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. He will always live in our hearts. *RIP Phillip - love always and forever*

Talley Family:
I could not pass up the opportunity to let you know how much I will miss Phillip. He was one of those rare people who could make you smile even if you were having a bad day. When he helped out in the Pre-K class, we always had a fun time. He was such a sweet, caring and thoughtful young man. I will truly miss him, but believe our loss is heaven's gain.

Words cannot fully express how saddened we are about losing Mr Phil. Sommer, or as he called her 'Sum-sum', adored him. Anything new she always had to share with Mr Phil. He was able to encourage her in a way no one else could. He even took out time for the parents of his kids, to hug us or shake our hand. Being a big kid himself, Phil inspired everyone he touched with his energy, his artistic ability, his athleticism, and most importantly, his love. He will be greatly missed by all. We are so honored that Phillip was such a treasure in our lives, even if it only was for a little while. Godspeed, my friend. We love you and we miss you!

May the grace of God be with all of us in this loss. I'm the grandmother of one of the children at Courtyard.

I feel that God had a need for Phillip in Heaven to help with all the little children and I can just see him like the Pied Piper working with all the little ones who love him; even think God had a special bus made for him to take the little ones around the Kingdom. Heaven is a better place with Phillip there to help and to be an inspiriation to others. I hope and pray that Phillip will know how much he was loved by all while on this earth. God bless Phillip.

It was an awesome pleasure to get to know Phillip. My daughters loved being around him. Haley could not leave CCY without hugging him and telling him bye. He touched a lot of lives and I am blessed to have met him.

To the Talley family;
we are so sorry for your loss. Phillip was a very special young man whom we had the pleasure of sharing in his life when he befriended our son Anthony. Thick as thieves for many years and never lost touch with each other. I remember most of all the hugs he would give us when we would run into him. He was so loving and affectionate to everyone. His personality was infectious to everyone around him. He would often accompany us to one of Anthony's baseball games and just when I thought no one could be louder than my son, Phillip would start in and give Anthony a run for the money on who could be the loudest. I also had the pleasure of attending Phillip's hockey games which with Anthony in the stands and Phillip on the ice was always a grand adventure. Thank you for sharing your son with my family we loved him so much. He was a gift from god and he has been called back to soon. I know that Anthony will never forget him nor will any of the rest of our family, he has touched our hearts and we are richer for it. thank you Phillip rest in peace sweetheart we love you.

Phil was a true genuine person. Phil had the type of personality and outlook on life that could brighten even the worst of days. He always had a hug for everyone. My daughter Emalee treasured Phil. My heart goes out to you and your family for your loss. My prayers and thoughts are with you. Phil had one of the biggest hearts and each and every child and person he came across fit into his heart if even for the moment. He was a wonderful person and will always hold a special place in our hearts for the love and devotion he gave to my daughter, Emalee, and each and every child at Children's courtyard. He will truly be missed.

There are so many wonderful things that I could say about Phillip. I feel very blessed to have had him in my life at Courtyard for the last 4 years.

I am deeply saddened by Phillip's death. I was one of his 6th grade teachers, and I especially enjoyed seeing him after he graduated from Martin when he came back to Wood to have lunch with his niece, Marlena. I was so proud of him. He had such a sweet smile and such a good heart. My prayers are with the family during this very difficult time.

My dear Phillip, boy how I miss you. Thank you so much for being a part of my life. Going to school everyday is not the same because I am waiting for you to come into my classroom and give me a hug and talk about whatever sports is going on. You would always say, “Is there anything I can do for you?”, “Do you need anything?”. That was you Phillip- the most caring and thoughtful person. Always thinking about the people around you. Always having a smile on your face. We will always feel your spirit at the center. I wanted to talk to you about Josh Hamilton , and the home run derby. You were my sports buddy. I miss you so much. Thank you for all the help and support you gave me when you helped with my Pre-K kids. Your job as a teacher is where you needed to be. I always told you, think of all the lives you are touching and think about all the children that love you. I am so thankful I got to know you. You were like a son to me. The angels are singing because you have joined them. I miss you and I love you. Ms. Mary

Our hearts go out to the Talley family. Phillip was such a wonderful person and great role model and friend to my children. Dyllon and Danielle have not been at the Courtyard for 2 years now, but would still talk about how great "Mr. Phil" was and how much they would look forward to seeing him drop off the kids at their school each day. He never forgot them and always had a smile and kind words for them. Phillip has left a lasting impression with them and he will be greatly missed. We are so lucky to have known such an amazing man.

I had the pleasure of knowing Phillip as his assistant principal at Wood Elementary. I loved conversations with him because he had such a great sense of humor. Years later, we were able to renew our friendship when he picked up the CC kiddos from Wood. I will miss Phillip's smile, our conversations and his care of the children. My condolences to his family and friends whose lives he greatly enriched.

Unfortunately, it seems like there was at least 200' between us most of the time. You were always my rival, and I tried to keep from getting to know you too much to fuel that rivalry. Not enough time. You certainly made an impact on a lot of people, and children are the most important people. My best to your family.

Some of my fondest memories from growing up where from the hockey rink. Phillip was a huge part of those memories. i remember when we first started playing at the texas skatium, he loved the game from the start and it doesn't surprise me at all to hear that he passed on his love of sports to the next generation. my heart felt sympathy goes out to his family. God bless and be with you through this difficult time

I'm very saddened to hear about Phillip's passing. I hadn't talked to him in years but I can still remember his personality. Phillip always had a positive attitude about things and always gave his all. I remember being there when he first became a goalie and the frustrations and challenges involved with learning the position. He never gave up and grew into a great player. He will be missed and my condolences go out to his family.

We met Phillip a few years ago while visiting family (Connie, Courtney and Justin Ruffennach). Since Courtney was dating Phillip we saw quite alot of him during our stay. He was such a joy to be around, so polite, and had such a great personality. We all took such a liking to him. Our heartfelt sympathies to his family. I know we will miss seeing him on our next visit to Texas.

Mr. Phil made me smile every morning when I would drop off my daughter, Kira at Children's Courtyard. He had a way with children and their parents that always made you feel at ease. My daughter connected with him instantly and has enjoyed his guidance for the last few years. He will be deeply missed by many. My heart goes out to not only his family but to all the young ones who have lost a wonderful mentor.

Our hearts go out to the Talley family. We are going to miss Mr. Phil very much. He had my oldest son, Alex in his class for 3 years. Alex enjoyed hanging out with Mr. Phil. He also helped out the Pre-K class where my other son, Austen was in his class. Austen enjoyed playing sports with Mr. Phil. And even though he did not have my youngest son, Aidan in his class, he would always acknowledge him with a hug. We are going to miss his big smile each morning at Courtyard. And I know that the boys will miss hearing Mr. Phil call them by their nickname “ALo.” You will always be in our hearts Mr. Phil.

My family and I met "Mr.Phill" 3 years ago at Children's Courtyard. Immediately, we fell in love with his personality and smile. Mr.Phill had a "gift" for teaching children. He was a great role model for my boy's Zachary and Zane. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

I met Phillip working at the Fort Worth Community Credit Union in Arlington. He would come in at least once a week and he always had a smile on his face.

Phillip was a very, very special person; to know him was to love him.
I know he already has many young followers in Heaven entertaining them as few adults are able to do,
He had God Given communication skills. He was my grandson's best friend and it was always a joy to have him in my home. He is the kind of person one never forgets. God bless and keep this special young man.

We are going to miss Phil so much. He had my daughter, Taylor, in his class at Courtyard for 3 years. She just loved "Mr.Phil". I think that everyone who met Phil just loved him. He just had that energy and personality that made you want to be his friend. Anytime we had a birthday party for Taylor, summer party or superbowl party, Phil was there ready to help out. He even entertained our Girl Scout Troop one meeting when we were trying to get all of the cookies together. He was just a joy to know and we are happy to have been his friend. We are saddened for his family, his friends and all of the children whose lives he touched. We are praying that God will keep His hand on all and will comfort them. We love you and miss you, Phil.

Mr. Phill was an amazing person. He always had a smile and a hug for "his" kids at CCY and their parents. He loved Parker and Whitney and touched their lives deeply. I am glad that we knew him and that he shared his life with all of us. He was our friend and we all loved him. We miss you Mr. Phill. Gods speed sweet gentle soul.

Mr. Phil was one of the kindest, nicest and most gentle person we have ever known. He was my son, Samuels, favorite teacher. He always greeted Samuel with a "hey, Sam the man". He daily greeted me with kind words and a hug. Mr. Phil made a big difference in Samuel's life. When he didn't attend the Courtyard for a while, he was excited to see Mr. Phil when he went back. To his mother and father-you must be so very proud to have such a remarkable son! He will be missed beyond belief but he will always live in our hearts forever.

To the Talley family, our hearts go out to each of you. What a tragic loss.
My son Camden attended CC in Arlington a couple years ago and always came home talking about Mr. Phill. He was his hockey buddy and to this day he can't wait to play on a real team like Mr. Phill.
