A life well lived, taken soon, but the L-rd's timing is perfect, so we who believe, do believe.

May His comfort, comfort every hurting heart of those who knew and loved him.

There are people in this life that we say are Legend. there are also people in this life that we say are Legendary- Phil Carpenter was both. That is an enormous accomplishment. We live our lives trying to make an impact on society, and the people around us, whether its professional-public-or personal. Phil "IMPACTED" lives. I will forever be indebted to him for the impact that he had on my life, and the life lessons that he taught me as a young fatherless person. The regret that I have is that I wish that I could have had the opportunity to tell him how great a mentor, role model, guardian, and friend that he really was, and how much respect I have always had for him. Philip, I will see you on the other side. You are already missed. Faith in Christ always- David Pierce
