Phil was preceded in death by his father, James Myers and brother, Mike Myers. He leaves to cherish his memory, his beloved wife of 28 years, Leisa Myers, Lake Charles, four daughters, Rebecca Kay Buquet (Brandon), Moss Bluff; Elizabeth “Lizzie” Felter (Alex), Alexandria; Stephanie Renee Partridge (Cody), Rosepine; and Madeline “Maddie” Myers, Lake Charles; grandchildren, Zachary Buquet, Emily Kay Reed, Gavin Buquet, Heidi Felter, Ryker Partridge and Ryatt Partridge; mother, Myra Posey Myers, Lake Charles; siblings, Sharon Watkins, Plano, TX; Tim Myers (Candice), Sulphur, Nancy Johnson (Ron), Lake Charles, Eddie Myers (Jo Ann), Lake Charles, Brenda Myers, Moss Bluff; sister-in-law, Patsy Myers, Florien; and numerous nieces, nephews and extended family.

Phil worked as a contractor and considered everything he crafted to be a legacy that would live on far beyond his own life. As a humble follower of Christ, he impacted each person he came into contact with. Phil was a servant at Sale Street Baptist Church. He played an integral role in the pre-school, children, youth, and adult departments. He acted in various leadership positions such as Sunday School Director, served on many committees, and taught Sunday School. He dedicated much time to mission work both in his hometown and beyond. He was a trusted Mr. Fix-it and a constant source of knowledge and guidance for family and friends. He lived every day to the fullest so the memory of his love for the Lord, adventure, comedic spirit, and workmanship will be remembered.
