Phillip Brown Obituary

A fun friend, full of life in High School

Paula, after all those years, I still have fond memories of the both of you. Harry

I will always remember Phillip for his great sense of humor and laughter. I was a neighbor in Grifton. He had a way of making everyone feel at ease and you felt like you had known him forever. God be with you all.

Paula, we are praying for you as you grieve the loss of Phillip. We still treasure the wonderful times we shared together in France when we had the pleasure of meeting you both. May God give you strength and may you always cherish the wonderful memories that you shared together.

To the family-I am so sad to learn of Philip's passing. He was a great and fun friend in Grifton.

Philip G. “Rufus” Brown


He will never laugh, smile, joke and show compassion on the soil of this earth again.
His mark is lasting, because our friend brought so much joy to our teenage years!
Philip was bigger than life! His laughter will forever echo in the halls of Grifton High.

Hey, “Rufus” Brown, see you in that study hall in the sky. Thank you for showing so many of us a way to have more fun! I think that “deep down laughter” has stayed with us for so long. Without a doubt, you left your special gift with us and we are grateful!

Paula, my thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time. Take care. Emily Efird

I am deeply sorry to hear of Phillips passing. He and his family lived next door to us, on Pitt Street, in Grifton for years. They were wonderful neighbors. Phillip was a few years ahead of me in school, but he was loved by everyone who knew him...he always had a smile on his face and he made you happy being around him. He brought laughter and light into a room. God be with Phillip and his family.

So saddened to hear about Phillip. We were friends when he was 14 through high school. He was a lot of fun, and made many people laugh. Please know you are in our prayers.

Paula,
I am so sorry to hear about Phillip. Mine and Jon's prayers are with you and the family. Please know that we are thinking about you. God Bless

Paula so very sorry to hear the sad news of Philip's passing, we will keep you and family in our prayer.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Paula and Phillip's family. I'm very sad to lose such a great friend, who was full of life and a joy to be around. Who was always there when I needed help with my cars. Glad I got to see him just before his fishing trip. I'll miss him very much.

Paula so sorry for your loss. Phillip and I grew up in Grifton and when I saw him a few months ago he was the same person he was when we were in school.

Sending our prayers & deepest sympathy.

Wade Whaley & family

Our thoughts go out to Paula and family. Phillip will surely be missed by many but his memory will live on for a long time to come by friends from many walks of life. I only knew the "car side" of Phillip but I know there were many other sides to Phillip. He would always brighten up any group and always lend an ear when you had something to say. He used to call me "Killer", not sure why. It always made me smile and still does when I reflect on that. Paula, you and Phillip welcomed us into your home for those wonderful fish frys and we always felt right at home. Phillip was a gracious and unique individual, just fun to be around. I feel lucky to have been able to call Phillip my friend.

Paula, Al and I are so very sorry to hear of your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

So sorry to hear of Phillip's passing. Just know heaven has gained an angel to watch over you. Thought you might enjoy this pic from 25 year dinner. Yes, Phillip was all smiles as usual...

Phillip will be missed for his laugh and friendship toward his friends and coworkers. Will always remember him when I go by car shows.

Our prayers go to Paula and their families in this time of need. I don't think Phillip would want us sad, but glad for him. His labor is done. Eternity ahead FOREVER.
