Phillip Smith Obituary
Phillip Michael Smith, 33, of Salt Lake City, Utah, passed away in June 2025.
Phillip was kind, strong, caring, and deeply considerate. He stood firm in what he believed — always ten toes down-and lived with a fierce loyalty to the people he loved. Though life was never easy for him, he carried the weight of it with a light that touched everyone around him. He made it his mission to bring joy, even in the darkest times, and he was often the first to find a silver lining when no one else could.
Phillip lives on through his beloved daughter, Klaire Smith; his mother, Manuela Lowrie; his grandmother Vickie smith; his sisters, Shandra Smith, Veronica McKay, and Vanessa Lowrie; his brothers, Quinton Finn and Brett; and through many aunts, cousins, nieces, and nephews who will carry his memory with them always.
He is now reunited in heaven with his father— finding peace, light, and love beyond this life.
A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, June 28, 2025 at Harmony Park 5pm-7pm. In honor of Phillip's love for his team, attire in Philadelphia Eagles colors or gear is encouraged.
In remembering Phillip, we remember the way he loved hard, laughed loud, and lived true.
