Phil lived his life loud, proud and as big as he was. He worked for years as being the only or best handyman to call when the strip of casinos in Laughlin were in need of a repair in the kitchens. He was rewarded several times with a free meal or a comped show because his personality collected friends wherever he went. He never met a stranger and will be missed by many. He was also the biggest cheerleader for his three daughters and everyone he met.
A gathering for him will be held in Laughlin, NV at the Laughlin Community Church on July 22, 2022, and he will be laid to rest with wife Annie at Palm Mortuary on July 25, 2022. A gathering for a celebration of his life will be held for his extended West Virginia friends and family later in August, 2022.
The family of Phil King are honored by all the well wishes, words of comfort thoughts and prayers from all the many people that loved him, and we are grateful to have had the time we did with him. Rest Easy Dad, we love you.
