Adrian K. Phillip

December 9, 1983 — June 12, 2025

Adrian Ad Phillip, beloved husband, father, son, brother, and friend, passed away on June 12, 2025, in Monticello, New York, at the age of 41.

Born on December 9, 1983, in Trinidad, Adrian spent most of his life in Yonkers and Sullivan County, where he was known for his kindness, strength, and unwavering dedication to his family. He worked as a committed sanitation worker, taking pride in every day’s work and the life he built for his loved ones.

Adrian was married to the love of his life, Samantha Phillip, for 7 beautiful years. Together they shared a deep bond built on love, loyalty, and family. Adrian was the proud father of three cherished children — Saniyah Phillip and Yulenah Phillip from a previous relationship, and Raygen Phillip, his daughter with Samantha. He was a devoted and loving father, always putting his children first and making sure they felt supported, safe, and deeply loved.

Adrian is also remembered with love by many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and countless friends.

His greatest joy came from being a father and spending time with those he held close.
