A visitation will begin at 4:00pm on Sunday, September 24, 2023, at Life Line Baptist Church with funeral services beginning at 5:00pm with Brother Jeff Dial officiating.
My wife Sarah joins me in offering our deepest sympathies to the Dalrymple family. I knew Phillip as a supportive, proud parent of his daughters, who I had the privilege to teach and work with as high school students. Great men love and support their kids no matter how grown they are, and he did. Phillip is at peace now, but his baby girls are hurting. We support them, and ask their community of family and friends to do the same. Destiny and Daphne, we are here should you need to talk, get support, items for the upcoming baby....anything. You have our contact information, please use it if life gets to be too much. Unfortunately we will not be able to make the service today, but our hearts are with you.
Brother Phillip rest in peace brother. I have so many memories of us over the years. Phillip loved the outdoors, books, and his kids. I can share stories that can reflect on the life that he lived. He lived through several hardships, but fought through them. I only wished he would have talked through his darkest battles. Love you brother, I will see you again.

You were a part of all our stories. Glad it was a good part.
To the Dalrymple family, I am sending my deepest sympathy for Phillip. He was an energetic, intelligent and friendly soul who would always bring positivity to our office. We appreciate Phillip for his dedication and commitment to serving our veterans and making an impact on everyone that he came in contact with. He will truly be missed but never forgotten. Rest in Heaven my friend! Due to prior engagement, I will not be able to attend the service for Mr. Dalrymple. Please accept my apologize, but if there is anything I can do, please let me know.
Fly High Phil You Will Be Missed
