Phillip Felker

Phillip Felker, 87, a beloved husband, father, and grandfather, peacefully transitioned from this life to the next October 2025 after bravely facing a lengthy illness. Born in Logansport, Indiana, Phillip was the son of Carl and Dorothy Felker, who instilled in him values of integrity, resilience, and compassion.
Phillip was a graduate of Burnettsville High School and furthered his education at International Business College in Fort Wayne, Indiana. His dedication to learning and excellence carried him through a remarkable career, beginning with his honorable service in the U.S. Army, where he was stationed in Germany. Upon returning to civilian life, Phillip applied his technical skills in IT roles at Fisher Body in Indiana and later at General Motors in Michigan. His career path also led him to EDS, and even after retirement, he continued to share his expertise through work at H&R Block.
Phillip’s passion for art found a new avenue as he served as a master docent at the Phoenix Art Museum, where his love for history and culture enriched the experiences of many visitors. Throughout his life, Phillip was a faithful member of several Methodist churches, ultimately joining The Fountains United Methodist Church. His voice resonated in the FH community choir, where he shared joy and fellowship through music.
Phillip’s personal life was marked by deep love and cherished memories. He shared 38 wonderful years with his first wife, Barbara, whose legacy of love continued to influence his life. After her passing, Phillip found companionship and happiness with Sharon, his devoted wife of 24 years. Together, they embraced a blended family, which included his sons, Hans (Sue) and David, stepdaughter Linda (Danny), two grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his sister Marie of Indiana, and many nieces and nephews.
Phillip was predeceased by his parents, his first wife Barbara, sister Betty Jean, and brother Clyde. He will be remembered for his gentle strength, unwavering loyalty, and the warmth he brought into the lives of all who knew him.
In accordance with his wishes, a private ceremony was held to honor Phillip’s life and legacy.
