Phillip Eugene Littrell, 70, a beloved father, friend, and dedicated member of his community, left this world on May 8, 2025, at IU Health Methodist in Indianapolis. He was born on April 6, 1955, in Indianapolis, where he would go on to create a life filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories. Mary was the love of his life up until the day she passed away and after. Until he met Tina then she became the love of his life. Phillip met Tina in 2019 as friends. They got together as a couple in the summer of 2023. They got engaged on Christmas of 2023. Then married on October 1, 2024, on their beautiful bridge where they spent much time at and where Phillip proposed to Tina.
For over three decades, Phillip devoted himself to his career, first spending 21 years at Pepsi Co and then another 18 years at KYB. His work ethic and determination resonated with those around him, leaving an indelible mark on everyone he encountered.
In addition to his professional pursuits, Phillip proudly served in the United States Army for three years of active duty. His dedication to his country showcased his profound sense of duty and commitment.
Phillip's true joys, however, were found in the simple pleasures of life. He found peace and happiness in fishing and hiking through the woods, where nature's beauty provided a backdrop for his contemplative moments. A modern-day adventurer, he also loved to doordash, finding enjoyment in exploring his community and the joy of serving others through food.
Above all, Phillip cherished his time spent with family, which he regarded as his proudest accomplishment. The memories created with his loved ones, marked by laughter, and shared experiences, will be fondly remembered and celebrated by all who knew him.
