Philo Willis Searle
October 28, 1927 — March 31, 2019
Our loving Husband, Father, Brother, Grandfather, Great Grandfather, and Best Friend returned home to his Father in Heaven and his beautiful wife Vivian at the age of 91. Philo passed away peacefully in his home surrounded by his family.
Philo was born on October 28, 1927 in Abraham, Utah to Orin and Celestia Searle. He served his country in the United States Army and Air Force.
Philo married the love of his life, Vivian Blackett in the Salt Lake Temple on February 17, 1954. Together, they had 5 children and celebrated 49 wonderful years together on this earth. On December 27, 2003, he married Cecile Brevelle. They enjoyed 9 years of traveling and dancing together.
Philo taught his family the value of hard work and enjoyed 30 years of service as a Mail Carrier for the United States Postal Service.
Philo’s greatest love is his family. He never missed a chance to celebrate the accomplishments of his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. He loved making everyone smile with new jokes at every get together and showing off his new dance moves. He was an avid sports fan, especially the Utah Jazz and Utah Utes. In addition, his favorite pass times were fishing, bowling, dancing and catching up with his many friends.
He was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints where he served in several callings. He never missed an opportunity to help his neighbors and serve the Lord.
