Phillip was a loving husband, father, brother, grandfather and friend to many. He loved to hunt, fish, shoot pool, ride four-wheelers and cook for his family. Phillip never met a stranger; he was a friend to everyone. He was a hard worker. He worked for Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana and the gaming commission for twenty plus years. Phillip was a family man and cherished every moment he spent with them. He was a big LSU and Saints fan, as well as a Mardi Gras fan. Phillip will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
