Phil Allen Winters
October 25, 1957 ~ March 18, 2024
Phil Allen Winters, 66, passed away suddenly on Monday, March 18, 2024. Anyone who knew Phil knew that he was a loving father, grandfather, and son. He is survived by mother, Phyllis; daughter, Jamie; son-in-law, David; and granddaughter, Olivia. He is proceeded in death by father, John, and brother, Ray.
Phil was raised in in Salina, KS. He attended Central High School and Marymount College. Phil had many hobbies, including photography and carpentry – both of which he turned into careers. Phil worked at Holiday Mansion for many years running the cabinet shop. Together with Jolene, they ran a photography studio in the 1990’s where they would photograph families, weddings, and senior portraits.
He didn’t know a stranger. He talked to everyone he passed and made friends quickly. Phil had a love of photography, painting, and some good ol’ rock ‘n roll. Jamie knew whenever her dad arrived because the music would be blaring from his vehicle. No one was more determined, stubborn, proud, supportive, and loving than Phil. His passing leaves a huge void in the hearts of many.
No services will take place at this time; however, a small celebration of life will take place in the coming months with close family and friends.
The family requests that in lieu of flowers, contributions in memory of Phil are made to the GoFundMe fundraiser to help the family with cremation costs and other expenses.
