Phillip Pickett-Barr Obituary (2002

Phillip David Pickett-Barr, 23, of Bloomington, IL, passed away at The Forum at Carle in Urbana after a 13-year battle with Epilepsy. He had a happy-go-lucky nature that never wavered and was always quick to laughter. He had an indomitable spirit and was physically tough as nails, often described by his peers as being “‘just built different”. He will be remembered for being kind, funny, empathetic, patient, and a good listener. Phil was an avid movie and music lover of all genres. His playlist was always on. He was a dog lover, even having a successful dog sitting business. He loved board games and card games, but nothing as much as playing video games online with his various groups of friends. Gaming was life. His perfect day would be gaming with his friends with his Spotify playing in the background while he snacked on chocolate, Cheez-Its, and Code Red Mountain Dew. He is survived by a big, loving family, and loyal friends. A private celebration of Phillip’s life will be held. Donations in his name can be made to the Humane Society of Logan County. Cremation rites have been entrusted to Fricke-Calvert-Schrader Funeral Home in Lincoln.
