It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Phil Gilliard, who left us peacefully on
January 16, 2025. He courageously battled PLS with humour, grace and his big smile until the very end.
Phil was a beloved husband, dad, papa, brother, uncle and friend. He is survived by his loving wife of 48 years Lisa, children Scott, Nicole (Rance) and Crystal (Travis), grandchildren Ashley, Stephanie, Taylor, Riley and Hudson, great-grandchildren Jorjia, Luca, Elias and Mila, and his brothers and sisters.
Phil loved his family, cheering on the Vancouver Canucks and PG Cougars, old cars and being out on the open road in his big rig. His warm smile, quick wit, and unwavering love will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who knew him.
The family would like to express their gratitude to the ALS Society of BC. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the ALS Society of BC or
Luvs Northern Animal Rescue.
A service will be held at the Prince George Cemetery on Friday, January 24, 2025 at 12:30 pm, followed by lunch for family and friends.
Rest in peace Phil, you will be deeply missed.
