Phil was born on April 1, 1958 to William “Bill’ and June Elkins. Phil grew up in the Kansas City area and attended Winnetonka High School.

He will be fondly remembered and greatly missed by his children, Andrew Elkins and Amanda (Daniel) Clymore; grandchildren, Hunter and Wyatt Clymore and Avery Elkins; brothers, Terry (Carol) Cornett, Hal (Anne) Elkins, and David (Chris) Elkins; and many extended family and friends. Services will be held at Terrace Park Funeral Home, with the visitation held on Thursday, June 16th from 5:00pm to 8:00pm and the funeral service held Friday, June 17th at 10:00am, followed by the graveside service at Paradise Cemetery in Paradise, MO.
