Kyle Singleton Phillips
(January 26, 1979 - April 12, 2011)
Kyle Singleton Phillips, 32, passed away April 12, 2011 in Irving, Texas. He was born in Dallas, Texas on January 26, 1979 at Baylor Hospital where his father happily announced it's a B-O-Y! It was actually quite fitting for him to be born in the winter because Kyle loved the snow. Kyle was known as the weatherman of the family, especially when it came to snow.
Kyle prayed to receive the Lord and was baptized when he was about 8 years old. He grew up knowing, loving, experiencing and enjoying the Lord.
Kyle graduated from MacArthur High School where he was quite the drummer. He played the bass drum and was in the marching band. He earned his Bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas in Arlington and a Master’s degree from Keller Graduate School of Management. He also attended a term at the Full-time Training in Anaheim.
In his pursuit of the Lord, Kyle had two highlights that helped him see the Body of Christ. He participated in a college age blending trip to Brazil where he shared his enjoyment of Christ with other brothers and sisters. He also volunteered to take a two week gospel trip to Taiwan in 1999 right after a major earthquake hit the island. There he was able to share the gospel and help bring many Taiwanese people to the Lord.
During the last few years of his life Kyle experienced many trials related to his health, but through it all he looked to the Lord and longed for His appearing. Kyle's last few hours were victorious, filled with prayer and preaching the gospel.
Kyle is survived by his parents; sisters, Katherine Estelle Phillips and Kelly Lynne Bhojwani; grandmother, Melba Singleton; uncles and aunts, Benson and Barbara Phillips, Butch and Jackie Roberts, Charles and Joetta Phillips, Ron and Norma Deal and Diane Singleton; cousins, Ben Phillips and wife Anna, Amy Graver and husband Tim, Susanna Prim and husband Joe, Bethany Moffett and husband Matt, Melissa Natale and husband Matt, Emily Bernau and husband Jimmy, Hannah Phillips, David Allen and wife Lisa, Mark Allen and wife Kathy. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Logan Singleton, Benson Phillips, Sr. and Estelle Phillips; and a cousin, Chas Phillips.
