WILKINS

WILKINS, Philip James
01.07.1956 – 12.02.2024
(67 Years Young)

We are saddened to announce the death of our darling Philip, who passed away peacefully at home on the 12th February 2024 surrounded by his family.
He was the dearly loved and devoted husband of Julie, Step-Dad to Alex and Amy, and Poppy to Darcy, Brodie and Ryker.

Now you are peacefully sleeping
Away from all your pain,
But the love in our hearts will always remain.
Rest easy my darling…

Loved son of Ron and Jean Wilkins (both deceased), younger brother of Ken, sister-in-law of Robin, and Uncle to Stuart, Craig and Adrienne and their families.

Phil’s pleasures were simple, his needs were few.
If the family was happy, then he was too.
He gave us love in the fullest measure,
care, devotion, and memories to treasure.
He shared our hopes, our dreams and tears,
Thankyou Philip, for all those wonderful years.

Funeral to be held at the Lester & Son Chapel, 49 Thomas Mitchell Drive Wodonga on Thursday 22nd February 2024 at 2.00pm.

      Nora, he was an amazing man. I was so blessed to have him in our lives. He often told me the only regret he had in life was not meeting me sooner, bless him.

    Dear Julie and family,

    My condolences on the loss of Phil. Phil had a positive influence on building construction and development in Albury Wodonga. He will leave a positive legacy with those he taught and influenced. The building industry is still available is you require any help.

    To Julie, Maddi, Alex and extended family.
    Sending our deepest sympathy and condolences. There are no words to convey the sadness that we feel at this time …sadness for all of you for the loss of your beloved family member. And sadness for us for the loss of a truly wonderful friend. We feel so privileged to have been part of Phil’s very wide circle of friends. The fact that he had such a big circle is a testament to the wonderful man that he was. We will always remember him. Rest in peace and without pain Phil. Love Deb and Ash. Xx

    Our sincere condolences Julie and families
    Phill was a chip off the old block (Ron) never to busy to engage in a conversation or help solve a problem.
    Our industry leaders could certainly take some lessons from Phil’s life
    A true Gentleman at rest
