Philip Marvin Brewbaker of Lake Wylie, SC was called home to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on October 14, 2019. He entered heaven peacefully surrounded by close family.

Phil, known as “Grampa” by his grandchildren was born March 11, 1934, in Loogootee, Illinois to John and Lodema Brewbaker. In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his brother, Clarence “Red”, and his sister Mildred. The oldest of the four siblings, Phil is survived by his sister, Irene.

On September 26, 1986, Phil married his wife, Maryellen, and the two were blessed with 33 years of marriage. Phil and Maryellen have been active members of Lake Wylie Baptist Church and have always found themselves ministering in their church. They’ve played in church orchestras, served in church worship teams, and have shared their lives with church members. Phil knew Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior and lovingly shared the hope of Christ with all he came to know.

In addition to his wife, Phil is survived by his son, Patrick Brewbaker, his daughter, Jennifer Hunkovic, Maryellen’s son, Monty Godfrey, and her daughter, Shelby Turner. Phil was also blessed with nine grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren.
