Obituary of Shawn Michael Phillips

 February 2, 1975 - April 1, 2022

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our son, father, brother and uncle, Shawn Michael Phillips. Although sudden, Shawn passed away peacefully at home at 47 years old. A devoted and loving son to Raymond and Donna Phillips, proud father of Nicholas Moreau, brother to Chris (Christina) Phillips, Rob Phillips, and Uncle Shawn to Victoria and Daniel Phillips.  He will also be missed by his trusted dog companion “Charlie”, who was always there when he came home or got up in the morning.  A gentle and honest soul, Shawn’s favourite place in the world was the calm waters of Rice Lake, where he would fish for bass and pickerel, from sunrise to sunset during summer trips to Hastings. With a bright smile and fun laugh, he was loved by his family, remembered fondly by those he fished alongside, and will be sorrowfully missed.  Arrangements were entrusted to Donald V. Brown Funeral Home in Stoney Creek. Cremation has taken place as has a private family service. Celebration of Life and family visitation will be arranged at a future date. As an expression of sympathy, donations could be made to the Canadian Mental Health Association-Hamilton or the St. Joseph’s Healthcare Foundation.  Online condolences can be made at www.donaldvbrown.ca
