I never got to know this great, wonderful, funny guy but I could always see that he had a kind heart. May he rest in peace.

I was left speechless this morning after hearing about Phoenix. I didn't keep in contact much after school but he was honestly one of my favourite guys there. He was a man a few words, but oh boy did those words make you laugh! Some of my best memories at Wgm are because of him and us just messing around. I am deeply saddened by his passing and offer you all my condolences. Just think how awesome Phoenix really was, and all the smiles he brought to the school. I know he probably didn't mention us often, but he truly did leave an impact on the school and everyone he interacted with. I'll miss you Phoenix

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Phoenix's passing this morning. Phoenix was a good man, he never spoke much, but when he did, it was guaranteed to be hilarious and brighten my day. Love and condolences from the MacLean family.

I am so sorry to hear of Phoenix's passing. He was one of the funniest guys I ever had the pleasure of knowing. Me and his Crossfield buddies will miss him greatly. Rest in peace, Phoenix.

We were so sad and shocked to hear of Phoenix's passing. I only met him a couple of times when he came to call-on my son (they were in the same classes at WG Murdoch). Phoenix was a gentle giant and I was touched by his sweet nature. I am so sorry for your incredibly huge loss. The world was a much better place with him in it. Love, thoughts and prayers from the Schulze Family, Crossfield, Alberta.

I am so sorry to hear of Phoenix’s passing. I had the privilege of knowing Phoenix and his sister Marnie as a teacher at WG Murdoch in Crossfield. He was a wonderful young man. Thinking of all his family.

I’ve always wanted a little brother, being the youngest out of my brothers. When I met Phoenix, we bonded over gaming, and sports. He enjoyed listening to me play drums, and we’d make jokes that only we understood, even when half of them made no sense.

It broke my heart when he left our home when we were young, as I wanted to still be in his life. As an adult I knew I still could. I just wish I got that chance. I never stopped loving him.

I’m sorry for your loss, and I wish you comfort in this difficult time. The Sansregrett’s are here for you.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I didn't have the opportunity to teach Phoenix, but I did teach Marnie in Grade 1 at Langdon School. I fondly remember Phoenix's kind and gentle ways. Please pass along my wishes of healing and comfort as you grieve this loss.

I taught Phoenix in sixth grade at Langdon School. He was such a nice boy; kind and eager to please. He loved gym class and any games we played as a class. He had a great imagination in story writing. My love, hugs, and prayers to his family in this time of grief.

I had the pleasure of teaching Phoenix grade 4 at Langdon School. He was a quiet boy who touched my heart with his kindness. My condolences to his family.

I was privileged to teach Phoenix at Langdon. I have several wonderful memories of him, even after all this time. He really was a gentle giant and a lovely person. My thoughts are with his family.

Carla and family , My heartfelt condolences may the great creator bless you with strength, courage,love and faith . " A beautiful boy called home by the great creator journey in peace "

Always in my prayers

Krista & family

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Phoenix. He was a member of our football team for 3 seasons. During his time with the Mustangs he was a big part of our football team and well liked by his coaches and teammates. I really enjoyed coaching with him and I am so sorry to hear that he is no longer with us.
