Obituary
Philip Quigtar Ramirez was born December 28, 1959 in San Nicolas, Pangasinan, Philippines to Peter and Isabel Ramirez. Philip passed away July 20, 2013 at the age of 53 doing one of his greatest loves in life, fishing.
Philip immigrated to the United States from the Philippines in 1979 with his family. From the young man with the afro driving a bright yellow Trans-Am chasing his future wife around Seattle, or the master fisherman who knew where to catch the most perch, squid, or clams, or the fun-loving life of the party who was not afraid to sing some karaoke, Philip lived a full and rich life always surrounded by the company of his loving friends and family.
He proudly served with the United States Postal Service as a mail carrier for 16 years.
Philip is survived by his wife of 30 years, Phebe, daughters, Leslie and Jody, sons, Marcus and Kendall, brother, Rene (Danilee), sisters, Edna (William) and Isabel (Pedro), step-mother, Nelly, father-in-law, PaulinoAspe, nephews, Edwin and Ener, and nieces, Raquele, Danielle, Mirabel and Elin.
Philip’s legacy will live on in the many hearts of those who love him. Until we see him again, we know Philip will be catching plenty of fish in an endless ocean high in the sky.

My thoughts and prayers for Pheebe and the whole family.
No one can take away the pain and loss you must feel, but hopefully you can take comfort in the knowledge that your loved one is now at peace with his Creator. Sincere Condolences from all of us. Our thoughts and prayers are with you..
I remember Uncle Phillip as being generous and quiet with a warm and genuine smile. Whenever he would come back from his fishing trips, he used to give my family and me some of the fishes he caught. When I would look outside my window, I’d either see him watering his plants, mowing the lawn or speaking to my dad. My dad truly cherished the times they spent talking and he always spoke highly of him to me.
Our hears are deeply saddened to lose a very kind and an incredible human being.
May Uncle Phillip rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers are with the family who are grieving during this difficult time.
Earth has no sorrow that Heaven can’t heal.Phebe and family my prayers for your healing. Phil was a great husband,father and friend to all .We will miss him a lot rest in peace my friend.
Praying for his eternal rest…
I first met Phillip at work many years ago, my first impression of him was “What a nice and funny guy” a few years later I met Phebe, I can say without hesitation she is one of my best friends. I have enormous admiration and deep respect for this couple.
Words cannot describe what my husband and I felt when we heard the news of Phillip’s unexpected passing, I was shocked and stunned when Phebe told me of the news.
Our most profound condolences to you Phebe and the entire family, May you always have comfort in knowing how many lives he touched. His spirit is always with you.
May you have eternal rest Phillip, you will be missed deeply.
When i first became involved with my wifes family 20+ years ago I was introduced to Philip and Phebe. They both always went out of thier way to make me feel comfortable at any functions that they were present at. Philip would always come up and shake my hand and ask me how I was doing. He always had a smile for me. Philip’s warmth towards me especially with the language barrier I faced will never be forgotten. Phebe’s equally warm smile will continue to remind me of Philip’s kindness.
