Phillip Whitfield-Franklin Obituary

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

To Mom Whitfield and family - we send condolences to you all in this time of separation from Phillip. We will never forget the times that you and your family, including Phillip, helped to "mold and make" Archie and Evin in their tender youth. We often reflect on those times and thank God for such a loving family. We'll continue to keep you all in our prayers.



Love, David & Robbin Guy, Evin Myers, and Archie Alexander, II

Dearest Mother Franklin and Family,



There is so much that can be said concerning your child,your brother and my friend Phillip.



The joy and laughter Phillip brought into my life will forever be charished. I consider myself one of the more fortunate because I've had the blessing of knowing Phillip since we both were knee high to a cricket.

My brother, a God loving and Righteous Man.



WE did'nt always see eye to eye concerning opinionated matters but we were always able to agree on doctrinal matters.

As one of my spiritual mentors and dearly loved brothers,Philp was choosen to help me maintain A path of righteousness and belive me it was'nt always an easy task.

I would always request often demand BOOK, CHAPTER AND VERSE. Proove it Phil Prove it! I can still hear Phillip as he would address me concerning interpretation of scripture...Neil,Neil,NEIL...TSK TSK TSK

Then he would proceed to ,define the word beyond reproach.



My brother phillip always had time me.



Phipllip was always prepared too defend and proove the Gospel.

Because of Phils knowledge,wisdom, tenacity and desire to preach the Gospel, I assuredly say that I am one of many which have been and remain the benefactor of Pillips very existance.



I thank God first and foremost for his Manservant and the anoiting which was given him but I also thank you Mother Franklin for being the God Loving,Fearing,worshipping and praising servant you are for it has been your guidance which through Christ JESUS,Has indeed manifested a house of Ministers. What a blessed mother you are mother Franklin. Thank you for being a part of my life.



Brother Michael, Brother Cedric,Sister Stacy,Sister Robin and Brother Carrey,

We are all at an emense loss...however this loss is minscule compared to the gain we have recieved from having Phllip in our lives.

May the Holy Spirit comfort you now and forever.God Bless you all.

My deepest condolences to the Whitfield family. He was like a big brother to me. I love him like my own family. He will be missed so much. God Bless.

To the entire Whitfield family, I would like to say how sorry me and my family are to hear of Phillip's passing. He will truly be remembered by us in a special way. We all have special memories of Phillip, as he always kept us laughing, each time he visited our home. His sense of humor was like no other!



I'm thankful that God called him to become a minister of the Gospel. I'm certain that he's resting well, with the Lord.



We regret not being able to attend his services, but want you all to know that we have not forgotten him, nor you, in our thoughts and prayers. May God bless,strengthen and give you understanding during this difficult time.

Our deepest condolences go out to the Whitfield and Franklin family...Phillip will be deeply missed.. gone but never forgotten!!!

Our prayers are with the family and friends.

My condolences to the Whitfield family. I pray that you all will be comforted through your loss. What I remember most about Phillip was his ability to keep us laughing back in the good old days of Harrison High School. Stay strong Cedric and the rest of the family as well. Peace.

Kind Of Hard For Me To Do This Because I Dont Know Where To Start Theres So Many Wonderful Things To Say About Coach Franklin....But I Want To Start Of By Sayn I'm Sorry For The Franklin Families Loss & There So Many Things I Can Say About Him. But One Thing That Really Stood Out In My Memory Was How Much He Cared About Me An All Of Us At Fox Meadows.He Was Never Happy When We I Got In Trouble But I Know That A Way Of Showing He Cared, But One Thing That Brought A Smile To His Face Waz When My Mom Made Taco's For Him & I Brought Them To School. But To End My Entry I Just Want Him To Rest In Paradise Were I Know He Is Happy & Has No Worries.

MY DEEPEST SYMPATHIES AND CONDOLENCES TO THE FRANKLIN FAMILY.I WAS VERY FORTUNATE TO KNOW MR.FRANKLIN THROUGH MY CHILDREN.THE KIDS AT FOX MEADOWS MIDDLE SCHOOL CALLED HIM "COACH FRANKLIN" AND HE WAS LOVED BY ALL THE STUDENTS AND HE WAS THE TYPE OF PERSON WHO WOULD LET THEM KNOW THAT HE WAS NOT GOING TO PUT UP WITH ANY NONSENSE.I AS A PARENT COULD ALWAYS COUNT ON HIM TO DO WHAT WAS RIGHT.HE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED. SINCERELY THE BLACKMON FAMILY
