I've known Phillip since the late '80s when he was a rookie Officer & I was a Corrections Officer with Shelby County. We shared many memories during those two years & his assistance was invaluable in the mid to late '90s when I worked undercover & Phillip was able to i.d. almost every bad guy on my undercover buys in Columbiana. Phillip's dedication to the job & relentless pursuit of the "bad guy" should be an example to all Officers, young & old alike. I thank God Phillip is no longer suffering.

Though I knew Phillip personally for only two years, he had my immediate respect and love. He was a man of strength and true compassion for others. He has been an inspiration and encouragement to me in the time I have known him. While I will miss him, I am a better person for having known him even for a short time, and his spirit will continue to encourage and challenge me. Thank you, Phillip, for the ability that you had to give to others even while you were in such pain. I thank God that He allowed each of us to know you.

As a police officer, Phillip had integrity, ability, and passion, and he would have only gotten better as his experience grew. His loss is significant to law enforcement because he would have served this community well for many years to come. As a man, however, Phillip fully achieved everything God intended him to achieve during his brief time here: he helped those he was intended to help, set his boys on the right course, and truly inspired many people. I respected him greatly, and will miss him.
