Phillip Wise, 67, of Georgetown, died on Tuesday June 16, 2015 in an accident while working on his farm located at 122 Wise Path. He was born July 26, 1947 in Owen County to the late Willard H. and Eula Mae Shelton Wise.
From his roots in Owen County, Phillip began his monumental life by pursuing his dream of serving in law enforcement. His years as a Scott County Sheriff Deputy earned him the prestigious Police Officer of the Year award in 1984. His law enforcement career culminated with Phillip being promoted to chief of the Scott County Police department, a position he held until leaving law enforcement to create a manufacturing and tooling company that remains in the family to this day. Phillip continued to enforce the law as a thrice elected constable in his later years, his desire to serve the community almost as strong as his love for his family. Phillip was an avid University of Kentucky Basketball fan who enjoyed horse racing and breeding, and could often be found at Keeneland exercising those loves whenever he wasn't helping, sharing or spending time with his family.
Phillip is survived in death by his loving wife, Kimberly; his sons Billy (Christy), Matthew (Tanya) and Joshua (Ashleigh); and his daughter Betsy Warren (Keith). He also leaves behind 11 grand-children; brothers, Dennis J. Wise, Calvin D. Wise, James "Jimmy" Ray Wise, Eugene Wise, and Doug Wise; sisters, Ora Lee Carr and Linda Faye Stanley; mother-in-law, Pat Emmons; father-in-law, James Botkins; brother-in-law, Jim Botkins, and other numerous family and friends that will miss him dearly. Phillip was preceded in death by a son, Mark Dwayne Wise, and a brother, Gary Lynn Wise.
Funeral services are at Noon on Saturday, June 20, 2015 at First United Methodist Church with Pastor Greg Gallaher, Pastor Andrew Singh, and Pastor Gary Dock officiating. Burial will be in Georgetown Cemetery. Pallbearers are Billy Wise, Matt Wise, Josh Wise, Mike Wise, Greg Carr, Jerry Wise, and Jeremy Stanley. Honorary bearers are J.T. Wise, Jay Wise, Joe Brown, Bill Wilson, Gene Gilvin, Scott Beagle, Hays Cowley, Wes Perkins, Jimmy Botkins, Owen Stanley, Pat Emmons, Steve Parrish, Robert Adams, and the Prime Timers.
