Phillip Allen Zermeno was born on February 23rd, 1988 in Othello Washington. He was unexpectedly taken from us on February 17th, 2023. He is survived and greatly missed by his two children Triniti and Phillip Jr., parents Betsy and Luis Zermeno, and siblings Mike, Rosey, Shannon, Jessie and Samantha and many other family, friends and loved ones.

Raised in Finley Washington, Phillip enjoyed all things outdoors; work, sports, boating, fishing, or goofing off with his siblings and friends. Phillip was one of a kind, always a protector, and felt everything so deeply, a quality that made him so special. He was smart, caring, and of course he would do anything to get a good laugh. He was a talented arborist and could tackle any size tree put in front of him. Whether it be the adrenaline rush from dangling 50 feet in the air, the injuries he received that day, or even the squirrels that he had to take home because he accidentally knocked them out of their tree; he was sure to tell us all about it at our next family dinner. His stories will be memories that his family will cherish forever. Phillip played a big part in so many people's lives and his absence will not go unnoticed. To honor him, we will have a viewing at Mueller's funeral home on Saturday March 4th from 12-4pm followed by celebration of life at Finley Granger.
