Philip J. Kirkpatrick of Whitmore Lake, MI, age 73, born May 16, 1936 journeyed from this earthly life to his eternal reward in heaven to receive the blessing of "well done, good and faithful servant" on February 24, 2010.
He has lived the last 40 years with his wife, Cleta Kirkpatrick in Whitmore Lake, MI.
He was survived by his wife Cleta (MacDonald) Kirkpatrick of 48 years, his daughter Sheila Boyer (Dan), his son Daniel Kirkpatrick (Lori) and his daughter Kelly Huige (Kurdt) and six grandchildren who will all dearly miss their dad and grandpa.
Born in McCarron, MI to Goldie Kirkpatrick, mother of English descent and to Carl Kirkpatrick father of Irish/Swedish descent, both who preceded him to glory, he was also a brother to Stanley Kirkpatrick and Carlene Askew (Frank).
Early on he helped his father with farming and a sawmill before going to serve his country in the Korean conflict (peace time). Upon returning, he married his sweetheart, Cleta McaDonald and lived in Sault Ste. Marie, MI doing carpenter work with his father, working on the last Sault lock that was built and working for Kincheloe Air Base in Kinross, MI. He then moved to the greater Ann Arbor, Washtenaw county area to be a union commercial finish carpenter, where he also built several houses, including one in Beulah, MI and ending up in Whitmore Lake, MI, finally retiring in 1995.
Hobbies included hunting, fishing, flying model airplanes, entertaining the grandkids and enjoying quality times with good friends and family. More important, he was a good husband and father. He was a quiet man but his Christian faith and lifestyle spoke volumes along with a strong Free Methodist heritage, serving his church in many capacities.
