To the Wyrick family, Phil was a great mentor to me as a young UPS driver and all my life. I have a lot of great basketball and golf memories with Phil and son Greg. He was the kind of man who would give you the shirt off his back to help you. Kindhearted and gentle spirit. He taught and walked the word of God. He was a true spiritual witness for our Lord Jesus. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family. We will always miss him and his contagious laugh and his ” Ole Brother”. Sincerely Randy and Yvonne Gibson

Me and Stacey always looked forward to seeing Bro. Wyrick when we arrived at church. He was such an encouraging person, and knew how to lift you up. Not only did he encourage you, but he also encouraged you to always go and encourage someone else. There will definitely be an empty spot at church. It was an honor to know him, and to call him our friend. Our prayers are with the Wyrick family and our church family. With Love and a heavy heart Brian and Stacey.

I worked as a runner one Christmas season for Phil nearly forty years ago to pay for my wife-to-be’s engagement ring. He was a great guy to work for! He could walk faster than I could run! I would be worn out when we finished and he was still going strong. And his faith was obvious in all he did and said and did. I am a pastor today and have shared with my children (now adults and married) and church folks of that winter working for Phil. I think I told him once that he walked so fast that if he wasn’t careful, he’d walk right past the gate at Heaven. A really great guy and faithful disciple of Jesus Christ. Prayers for you all in these days.
