Ken Phillips
1956 - 2012
Kenneth Dale Phillips, beloved husband of Deb Phillips and the late Dalene
Phillips both of Vauxhall, passed away peacefully in Brooks on Tuesday, May
1, 2012 at the age of 55 years.
The Funeral Service will be held at the Vauxhall Community Hall, 417 - 4
Street North, Vauxhall on Tuesday, May 8, 2012 at 11:00 A.M. with Reverend
Alana Johnson officiating. A private family burial to follow at the Vauxhall
Cemetery. Condolences may be forwarded by visiting our website at
www.southlandfuneral.com.
Ken is survived by his loving wife, Deb and his mother Katie Ayling of
Watino. He was a loving father to Judy (Craig) Parker of Coaldale, Kimberly
Phillips of Lethbridge, Joe (Rebecca) Claeys of Grande Prairie, Lana (B.J.)
Smith of Brooks, Allison (Jay) Maloney of Vauxhall, Vivian (Daniel) Robinson
of Okotoks and Brad (Kelly) Sawka of Vauxhall; a loving grandfather to Sarah
and Daylen Parker, Hayden and Blake Smith and Jaycee Claeys. Ken is also
survived by his siblings Debbie (Bert) Jacob, Peggy (Claude) Langlois, Bill
(Iona) Phillips; grandmother Mary Sawka; Dalene’s parents Dale and Dorothy
Rombough and family as well as his uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews and
cousins.
He was predeceased by his first wife Dalene; father Arthur Phillips and
step-father Alan Ayling.
Ken was born May 4, 1956 at the McLennan Hospital and was raised in Watino
in Northern Alberta. At age seventeen, with only a few dollars in his
pocket from his loving mother, Ken headed south. Although he came south to
start his life-long career in the oil patch, he soon fell in love with the
country and his first wife Dalene Ann Rombough. They were married on
September 6, 1975 and settled in Vauxhall where they lovingly raised two
beautiful daughters. Ken loved his work and was a very hard worker. He was
promoted to tool push at a young age and ran a great crew. In 1995, Ken left
the rigs and started his own business, Phillips Oilfield Service. Ken
wouldn’t ask his guys to do anything that he wasn’t willing to do himself
and he always gave people chances. He earned the respect of many and made a
lot of friends along the way. After Dalene’s passing, Ken found love again
with Deb Claeys. They were together for many years before making it official
on September 28, 2010. His true passion in life was for his ever expanding
family. He especially loved spending time with his grandchildren. He was
very active and enjoyed travelling, camping and quadding with both friends
and family. He generously volunteered his time and equipment to the
community that he cared deeply about. In the last few years he also enjoyed
volunteering as a fireman with the Vauxhall Emergency Services. If you had
the pleasure of spending some quality time with Ken you would have
experienced his unique sense of humour. If you needed help, he would drop
everything to lend a hand. He will be remembered as a tough guy with a great
big heart. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him including his
loving dog Rosco.
If friends so desire, memorial tributes in Ken’s name may be made directly
to the Alberta Cancer Foundation, c/o Tom Baker Cancer Centre (Melanoma
Research), 1331 - 29 Street N.W., Calgary, Alberta T2N 4N2 or to the Brooks
& District Health Foundation (Palliative Care), 440 - 3 Street East, Brooks,
