Phillip, You were the best thing that happened to Casey and McKenna.. I know in my heart NO ONE came before Casey (well I guess McKenna did), we talked about a wonderful wedding in the sand with Tiki torches and how the cake topper had to have life vest on them and me standing there so proud that you guys were so in love and so Happy... I know 100% in my heart Casey was the love of your life and you said you have finally found the one. I miss you and your corky little samuri moves in the first seat of my car. Phillip we will miss you !!!! Love you with all of our hearts Abby & Chad
I want to thank everyone that has signed my sons guest book. I want to thank God most of all for giving Phillip for a time. I could not have asked for a better son. No one could a haved loved him or known him better than me. I know he is in heavens army now and has the peace and happiness he deserves. I may never know what happened the night he passed, but his Father in heaven knows, and in that I find some peace. I was young when I had Phillip and some said they did not know who was raising who, oh the growing pains we had together. I say a prayer to any mother who has lost a child, I have never experienced such pain, and can only look forward to seeing my son again someday. Thank you again for sharing, loving, and caring about Phillip.
nothing is the same without you, i keep waiting for your truck to pull up and give me a hug, or come by work and say hello stranger... i never thought i would be without my best friend, but here i sit. nothing is the same.. and never will be, i am lost without you you always was there to give me good advice, or tell me everything is ok. i just come by here to tell you that i love you because here i can see your face and remember the phil that i miss and loved so very much.. you are always my best friend and i am lost without you, never thought this would be this way or this hard. i love you and probably will write on this until i cant anymore cause at least i can grieve here but in a good way because i miss you and know you are in a better place but it seems so surreal love you
First I want to say I just found out about Phillip and I want to send my regards out to the Family and his Friends.I went to school with Phillip and he was a great person.He will be truthly missed. Again Im really sorry.
I just found out and am sooo sorry. His family and friends will be in my prayers.
With great appreciation the entire Rout Family would like to extend a warm-hearted "Thank You" to all the condolences, concerns, and good will from all of Phillip's friends.
GOD BLESS .....Phil ...
Rest in peace. Your friends love you, and you will be missed.
Phil Davis was a fun guy to be around. No matter what kind of mood that i was in, he could make you laugh. We had a lot of good times together. I have known him since 1994 and as a fellow U.S. Army veteran I had a lot of respect for him. He will truly be missed. I hold memories of our fun times together with a heavy heart yet I will always remember the memories. May he rest in peace.
Phillip was an amazing person and friend.
We love you and will miss you greatly.
To all the family and close personal friends of Phillip- Phillip was definitely a great person to get to know. It is considered a privilege to become a part of his life even if it was a small part. To the family i am truly sorry for your loss and even though some of you don't know me, my heart is with you.
Baby you were my everything! For the first time in my life I had finally found what TRUE LOVE was. I cry everyday--my heart is broken. I cant make it without you here--you are supposed to be here and us be married and happy. We had so many plans together babe and I was so excited that I had found us a place to live. I know all you ever wanted was happiness and I know I gave you that, Thank you so much for the honor of having you in mine and my family's life for the last year--you will always be missed and you will always be loved by me. I love you baby!
Wow, Well I really don't know what to say Phil was a good friend of mine a few years ago but time and decisions took us down different paths. There have been many many nights that Phil and I have been together and talked and laughed with Nick, Nathan, Randy, Cameron he was a good person and cared about his family. It is odd how things happen so suddenly in life I cant believe Phil is really gone. My deepest sympathy goes out to Phil's family and my thoughts and prayers will be with you all.
Phil,
I am lost for words, thursday I saw your smiling face and your last words to me were I'll see you soon. So many memories and I don't know where to start. You was always there to pick me up when times were tough. The first time I saw you, you bugged the crap out of me at a party and we have been stuck like glue ever since, lol i remember you taught me to bowl in newport, and how we went fishing on the sandbar and i was scared of worms and i hooked my hand and thought the worm bit me.. and how brenden screamed at the fish we had caught but you took him fishing and was the only one..all of the vehicles you rolled or went through and how you came out unharmed but was more worried about my cd's how you took me to shoot a gun at mike's shooting range.. and fred's mean steaks as you called it.. im going to miss all of the drop bys to see how you are doing at work and the phone calls..and your funny laugh. scuba steve lol remember how you used to carry that figurine everywhere.... and i never told you how appreciative i was of our friendship because i took for granted that you would always be there maybe i feel guilty for as you told me thursday not making time for our friendship but i always though you would be there.. bron amber brenden garrett karea fred and tonya as well as myself miss you already... you was the one person that i truely can say stood by me throughout it all, my heart is broken but not because im sad because i know there are no tears in heaven and there is no sorrow or pain but selfishly for myself because i have lost you forever and that is a pain that i can't mend i love you phil
Phillip, you were the love of my daughter's life and she is lost without you. You could never know how much I loved your visits and stays at the house. If I could I would turn back the hands of time so you and Casey would be happy together forever! McKenna is going to miss her Phillip. My heart is broken and I don't know if it will ever be whole again. My deepest symphathy go out to all his family, especially Grandma Route.

Well Phillip you will be greatly missed. You are the only person that I know of that could make Casey shine from ear to ear.
Phil I can't believe you are gone... You were the best friend that I was proud to have.. My life has been in shambles without you. I never took the time to tell you how much I really loved you because you already knew, and I never wll forget the memories that we have made. You will always have my heart and I will always love you.
