Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Phil. Known as Gypsy to many he met in his travels. He was a cherished son, brother, family member, and friend who brought so much love, laughter, and light into our lives. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

As we come to terms with Phil’s passing, we are faced with the difficult task of arranging his final farewell. We want to give Phil the dignified and heartfelt send-off he deserves, but unfortunately, the financial burden of funeral expenses is overwhelming for our family during this already challenging time.

We are reaching out to our community for support in honoring Phil’s memory. Any contribution, no matter how small, will help ease the financial strain and allow us to focus on grieving and remembering him fondly.

Funds raised will go toward bringing him home to Colorado from Texas, placement, a marker, and any other fees not yet anticipated. Your generosity will make a meaningful difference in ensuring that Phil is laid to rest with the dignity and respect he deserves. Any additional funds raised beyond the goal will be used to improve the funeral service where possible (memorial services etc), or to provide support for Phil’s closest friends and family following his sudden loss.

We also appreciate your thoughts, prayers, and messages of support during this difficult time. Your kindness means the world to us as we navigate through our grief.

Thank you for your compassion and generosity. Together, we can give Phil the farewell he deserves.

With heartfelt gratitude,

April Dawn Dean
