I really miss you Phillip. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you. Like Aaron I miss the phone calls to see what is going on. I miss your voice and smile. I miss having a good friend to encourage me and to give me an honest opinion when I need it. I am glad you were in my life and that I have plenty of nice memories of you. Thank you God for letting Phillip be apart of my life and being a true friend!!!!!

I've been thinking for quite a while what I could write in this memorial of Phil. I was very saddened that I missed the funeral and want all of his close friends and family whom I was fortunate enough to know that I was absent not because I did not want to be there, but instead I was not aware of when and where the services were to be held. I believe God put Phil in my life and I in his to teach eachother some very valuable things about the nature of human life and how we treat eachother. Although Phil and I did not speak often after we split I know that he always cared for me and wanted only my happiness above all. The love he had for me was unconditional love, not dependant on whether or not we were involved in eachother's life but based on something much more special and honorable than simply the human need to love. Phil had this kind of love for many, many people, many whom I never had the pleasure to meet. I could write a book on the experiences Phil and I had that were so very special, experiences that helped make me who I am today, experiences that taught me how to be a better person. I am so grateful that God gave me the opportunity to spend the time with Phil that I did. I know he is in heaven, looking at me and my family, smiling with the knowledge of our happiness. He did this in life for all those he knew, regardless of how they treated him. Never did I meet someone more forgiving of people's shortcomings and bad decisions. When we all remember Phil I know that we all share the thoughts of what a tremendous heart he had and the tremendous love he shared with us all.

I never in a million years would guess that I would be signing this registry in honor of Phil at a time like this, but at the same time, I am blessed with the opportunity to say things that should have been voiced long ago. I met Phil in Myrtle Beach 7 years ago, and my life has not been the same since. Phil was one of a kind, and overall a remarkable man. I learned a lot from having him in my life, and continue to learn from him even after his passing. I was so impressed at the turn out at his funeral... all of the lives he had touched in such a short period of time... and to think of all of the people in other states, and other countries who were there in spirit but could not attend his service physically was truly amazing. There is no better representation than that to show how he lived his life, and how he always put others first, whether or not we deserved it. Phil was probably one of the most generous and unselfish people whom I had ever met, and I am grateful to God for putting him in my life. I will miss hearing his voice and seeing his smiling face. My prayers are uplifted for the Wilson family...
We should all aspire to leave a legacy like Phil's, and positively touch as many lives as he did.

Phil was a like a brother to me. Phil and I met in 1997 while working with Marriott in Kingsport, TN and we immediately became friends. Over the past eight years Phil became one of my dearest friends. Phil taught me to appreciate the good things in my life. He consintently reminded me of all the good things I had and how I should appreciate them. I always knew I could count on Phil to be there for me and tell me like it was. Phil was as loyal of friend that anyone could ask for. I appreciate the friendship and love Phil gave me and I wish I could of told him this in person.
My heart goes out to Phil's family and fello friends for your loss.
I'll miss you brother!!!

I met Phil about 11yrs ago in Myrtle Beach, from that time on we remained really good friends. In July of 1994 he came with my family to Southport, NC during the 4th of July Festival. Several years later he moved to Charlotte and I lost touch. A mutual friend of ours called me and told me about his passing, and I was crushed. I would like the Wilson family to know you all all in my thoughts and prayers. Phil always reminded me to be true to myself, and always hold my head up high. You all should be proud of him. There are not too many people in Brunswick or Horry County's that have not been touched by him. He will be missed by many.

I would like to express my appreciation to Phillip's family for planning a funeral that was such a wonderful tribute to his life, and a true reflection of his personality and character. I felt like I learned even more about Phillip from attending the service, and I am still amazed at how many lives he touched in his young life. While Phillip's death was tragic, his life was not. My family and I will always be grateful that he came into our lives.

Phil was like a brother to me, we hit it off the moment we met, which was 7 years ago. I have never met a person who was as cool,calm and collected as he was. He always used to stay on me about worrying about little stuff so much, and let things just take their course. We always used to joke eachother about our respective frats, but I always knew he was there for me no matter what. I'm gonna miss him terribly, I know he will always be watching over me. The Wilson family are in my prayers and have my deepest sympathy.

I met Phil about 2years ago through his longtime friend Aaron. Phil treated us with southern hospitality by inviting to a home cooked meal. He would truly be missed by anyone he came encountered with. And to the Wilson Family; you are in my prayers and thoughts.

I met Phillip about 5 years ago at a small gathering he had at his apartment in Charlotte. He welcomed me in his home and treated me like family, not like a stranger. But I knew we would be cool when he offered me some Kool Aid! In August 2003, I had had surgery on my right wrist and was unable to care for myself. Phillip had heard about my surgery and brought me dinner after he got off of work. While that may sound miniscule, Phillip really didn't know me at all. But he was thoughtful and caring enough to come and see about me when I couldn't see about myself. He and I shared a passion for debating, and I could always count on him for a good argument. I hated not being able to make his funeral but it was too far for me to drive alone. But I will always have my memories of him and I thank God that I was blessed by Phillip passing my way.

Phillip's spirit lives on in the many hearts he touched. He brought joy, laughter, and love to the world. Phillip was gettting ready to begin a career as a teacher of children with special needs - but in truth Phillip was already a teacher to all those who knew him.

To the Wilson Family,
Phil of course was my best friend for the past 4 years. He instilled in me values that I will always cherish. He made me realize that there are good people in this world that looked out for more than just themselves, but for the well being of everyone they touch. He will be greatly missed by my family and I because like I've always told him he was my knight in shining armor. I will miss getting to talk to him and spending time with him, but as long as I live my life the way that I know that he wants me to live it I feel I will make him proud and will always have him in my life. Phil will be missed, and Yazmin and myself will never forget the impact he has had on our lives. He will always hold a special place in my heart and will be loved forever. May God continue to be with the Wilson family.

I have known Phillip for about 11 years. From the day I met him at Myrtle Beach I felt a connection with him that is unexplainable. Over the course of the years Phillip and I developed a friendship that is unconditional and special. Looking back at the time we shared brings a smile to my face and an extra beat to my heart. Phillip always encouraged me and told me how proud he was of me every time I spoke and saw him. He acknowledged my strengths and weaknesses. He knew me better than I knew myself. I saw Phillip approx. three weeks ago and our last meeting was a Kodak moment and a nice memory of a man who has a special place in my heart.

Phil, I just returned from your service.
I once heard a wise man say to me that "It is does matter what happens in your life...it matters who happens."
...and you happened in my life and for that I am forever grateful. We did not know each other very long, but I so appreciated your friendship and your compassion. The last words you spoke to me will be with me forever...and I will do what you asked of me everyday.
You Life. Your Example. Your Impact on others. Very Impressive.
I was proud to have known you and to have seen those today that were impacted by your time with them.
May you and GOD continue to watch over those of us still here on earth.
God bless your wonderful family, friends, and those strangers who did not get the chance to know you as a friend.
