Obituary for
Eneas Victor Phillips
Eneas Victor Phillips, 69, of Big Sandy, MT, passed away on Wednesday, April 1, 2015 at Benefis Hospital in Great Falls, MT.
Victor was born on May 2, 1945 in Flagstone, BC, Canada to Douglas Phillips, Sr. and Mary Gravelle.
Victor met (Lola) June Gibbs in Eureka, MT and they were married on August 4, 1973. Shortly after they were married, they moved to Grasmere, BC, Canada. He loved to work and loved his family. He had friends everywhere.
Victor enjoyed horses and Fords (much to his Chevy-loving grandkids' dismay :) ). He had a great sense of humor and loved to laugh and tell stories about his journeys to any and all that were within earshot. He spent most of his working career logging and working as a heavy equipment operator. He looked forward to seeing his kids and grandkids every day and enjoyed playing cards, whether it be solitary or with whoever would play with him. He also liked his country music and western cowboy shows.
Victor was preceded in death by his parents, Douglas Phillips, Sr., and Mary Gorrie, his brother, Douglas "Sonny" Phillips, Jr., and his sisters, Sarah (Sally) Pierre, Gloria Trahan, Susie Gorrie, and Sadie Saloway.
Survivors include his wife, June Phillips, sister, Angela (Paul) Paradise, of Grasmere, BC, Canada, aunt, Elizabeth Gravelle, of Grasmere, BC, Canada, cousins, sons, Victor D. (Karli) Phillips of Big Sandy, MT and Paul (Mikel Juneau) Phillips of Pablo, MT, daughter, Mindy Gravelle of Big Sandy, MT, grandchildren, Victor "Glen", Chase, Dusti, Kodi-Jo, and Danni Phillips,; Wyatt and William Phillips; Drak-O, Zander Phillips, Malaysia, Sonny Gravelle; and Filly, Piper and Riot Gravelle, Orion and Haley Kennedy.
