Phillip was born in Urbana on Oct. 5, 1984, attended Park Road Elementary in Charlotte, N.C. and was a graduate of Willowbrook High School, Villa Park.

He was preceded in death by his grandfather H. Holmes Proctor. Survivors include his father and stepmother, R. Daniel and Rhonda Proctor of Mahomet; his mother, Patti Leigh Fletcher of Charlotte, N.C.; sisters Jessica Proctor, Charlotte, N.C. and Olivia Proctor, Mahomet; his brother, N. Maxwell Proctor, Mahomet; his great-grandmother, Evelyn Kollender, Charlotte, N.C.; grandparents Nita Proctor, Savoy, Bill and Jimmy Nell Fletcher, Charlotte, N.C., and Ron and Georgia Bagley, Springfield, Mo. Other survivors include Scott Proctor, Linda and Michael Schmidt, Tom and Holly Fletcher, Greg and Tracy Chambers, Chuck and Julie Kiser, and cousins.

Phillip, in his unique way, was a fervent fan of da Cubs, da Bears and the Fightin' Illini.

His passion for music, friends and loved ones was unmistakable. From his early years as an accomplished youth choir member, to his recent presence on the local music scene, Phil loved playing guitar and rockin' the crowds with his unique vocals. Most recently he worked with KEC design and was a former employee of Jupiter's and Jimmy John's. He gave generously of his time to the Crisis Nursery, working on behalf of the children.

Memorial contributions can be made to the Crisis Nursery of Urbana-Champaign to fund "Phil's Music Corner." His sense of humor and warmth will be remembered though his journey on this earth has ended. May God Bless...
