Phillip was a proud and devoted father to his son, Ace, and daughter, Emma. His greatest accomplishments were not only his professional successes but also the joy he found in fatherhood, coaching his children in soccer, and fostering pugs in need of care and love.

He found joy in being outdoors-whether on the beach, in the mountains, or on the golf course. He treasured time spent with family, watching movies, running along the shore, and supporting his favorite teams. In May 2016, Phillip and Kristen moved with their children to Jacksonville, Florida, where they built a home rooted in love and community. Phillip is survived by his beloved wife, Kristen Lee; his children, Ace Lee and Emma Williams; his parents, Phillip B. and Margaret Lee; and his sister, Natasha Lee.
