Tom Phillips Obituary, Death – Mark Phillips pays tribute to a loving and care human. “I’m seeing people posting shit about my cousin Tom Phillips who sadly passed away last night. It’s not even been 24 hours and people are quick to start talking bad of a man who can longer defend himself. He wasn’t no Saint, but neither are any of yous posting wrong about him. My nan found him dead in his bed this morning. That’s 2 people she’s had to deal with passing at her old age. He’s no longer with us so whatever drama you had with him ended the moment he passed. He was still a young man, a father, a brother, an uncle, a son, a grandson. We’re grieving so please have some respect.
Everyone who had the privilege of knowing and loving him will miss him very much. He will be sorely missed. Having him pass away will be a terrible loss. A further insult to injury was the fact that he was a devout Catholic. Additionally, in addition to being a member of American Legion Post 381, he was also a member of the community that was known as Walter F. Howarth.He has a number of nieces and nephews that are still alive now. Several of them are still alive. Christopher (Sue) Fehsenfeld, Dawn (Dan) Borreson, Debra Cook, Jim (Robin) Phillips, and Kathy “Kit” Fehsenfeld are some of the individuals who fall into this category.
Trisha (Jay) Round, Michael (Elle) Phillips, and Mary (David) Poulson are the three individuals. In addition, he leaves behind a sizeable number of great-nieces and great-nephews who will carry on his legacy after in his footsteps. Before he passed away, his parents, Norman and Anna Marie Phillips, as well as his sister Beverly (James) Fehsenfeld and his brothers James (Dorothy) Phillips and Norman (Dorothy) Phillips, all perished away. He was the last surviving member of his family. As the sole surviving member of his family, he was the only left.
