Tarren Dean Phillips

I want you to know that your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I know your pain and sorrow all too well. there are no words that I can say to ease that pain at this time but hold on to your memories and you will find comfort.

I know your pain that you feel and what you are going threw so very well as i went threw it 3years ago, Hold on to all the memories and take baby steps one day at a time.

Praying for you all. Terran you were a great friend & always there for me especially the last 10 years. No matter what it was if I needed a good laugh, someone to talk to, someone to just listen while I ranted & raved, a shoulder to cry on or sometimes for you to just tell me everything was gonna be okay or to tell me to just shut the heck up. (Which you did several times :) ) Rest in peace & know your loved & missed by so many

He was a great lil brother to me and an uncle to my kids. We will miss you Tarren. Thanks to all the family/friends for coming together and helping for this memorial to be able to take place this sunday. Tarren was known and loved by so many people. Thank You Everyoneone

Tarren & I had our ups & downs, but I loved Tarren with all my heart. He was a good person, he could make you laugh and sometimes make you cry, but sometimes he could make you laugh til you cried. We had a lot of good times together. Tarren was just like the rest of us, we all have our problems, whether they are minor or major. I don't know how he did it but he could sweet talk anyone into whatever he had on his mind. And he could make it sound like such a great plan & idea. He loved his all of his children very much, although he sometimes had a hard time expressing it. I believe that he really tried & did the best that he knew how to. But he did talk about each & every one of his children a lot. I don't really know what I am going to do without him & I know that my life, as well as, many others will never be the same. Tarren you will be truly missed. I am glad that you are finally meeting my mom. I have a lot of memories of you & her that I can hold on to. I also have Jagger, which is the spitting image of you. I love you, Tarren.

Tarren was apart of my life for a few years and if not for him introducing me to his best friend, I wouldn't have my son. We had lots of good times and some bad, we were all young and our experiences together, the four of us, tarren, Melissa, Wayne and myself, helped make me who I am today. I moved away and missed the last few years, but I'll always remember the laughter and good times. Until we meet again, rest in peace my friend. Until then, I will see you in the faces of your children, you were loved and we will miss you.

I don't have very many memories of my father but I know in my heart that he was a great person. All I know is that I miss him terribly no matter what kind of person he may have been and what kind of mistakes he made. He lived an extremely hard life and spent it hurting but he put on a smile and could be so alive when he tried. I never got to know him very well and the chance to was taken from me way too soon. I only wish I could've known him better. I'll see him again though someday and then we'll have all the time in the world to catch up. Thank you to all of you who have been here supporting us as his family in our loss. It means more than you know.

Jack and Sharry, We are so sorry for your loss.Words will never be enough.Sending prayers your way, may God comfort you during this time of sorrow now and in the hard days to come. Tommy and Jane

I'm sorry my father and I didn't get the time we deserved together. I know he had a hard life and wasn't able to be there for me like he wanted to be. I will learn from his life choices and hopefully grow to be a man that he would be proud of. The man he always wanted to be. No matter what I will always love and miss him.

I just want you all to know that you are in my thoughts & prayers. May God Bless & comfort you all during this difficult time. R.I.P. Tarren.

So many wonderful memories Tarren especially when you were young and my lil' "biker buddy" I'd dress you in a Harley Davidson T-shirt, bandana, and I kept sticker tattoo's for you and you'd pick one out to wear then! I have pictures of those beautiful memories. My heart aches knowing I wont' see you again in this life and I know you and Uncle Larry, Andrea and all are together happily with the Lord and plenty of laughs going around. When I would know when you were coming around I'd run and check my fridge making sure I had dill pickles, never saw a kid like those like you did, you'd make a meal of them! One of your younger birthdays at your party one of your gifts was a whole gallon of dill pickles!!! My heart goes out to your family, your mom, sisters, brother and all. I will be seeing you again one day and so will they and the circle will once again be unbroken, this life is only temporary, but I can't help not missing you and others gone before me and so early in this lifetime. I know you are not in pain and happy and that's my condolences to myself and all our family. I love you Tarren Dean and will miss your always smiling face.

Oh Terran, how you will be missed. Our family called you “Spud” but ever since you were a toddler my nickname for you was “Terran the terror.” You would get into everything, but you were so addorable everyone let you get by with it. When you were around 2 you had already figured out how to work the ladies with that precious little smile of yours. You grew into a handsome man with a heart of gold. We all have our demons & you had yours but that didn't change the fact that from your surface to deep down you genuinely loved your loved ones to the core & even more so with your children. Once you left your camo hat at my house & told me to give it to you the next time we saw each other. We did see each other several times over the next few years but I never had it with me. So now my lil' cuz Terran the Terror, I will give it to you the next time I see you. But until then I will wear it with love each time I’m hunting or when I go fishing. Dude you'll always be in my heart & my thoughts. My prayers go out to your & our beautiful family & friends. Peace...

Once again, and like I always did, I spelled your name wrong. Sorry dude! I love & miss you TARREN!

Tarren, I thought of you a lot today as I celebrated our beautiful children's 16th birthday. A day I always thought you would be here to share with them. We had so many big plans when we were younger. Plans that quite become a reality. But the one that meant the most to both of us was that our children would become wonderful young adults. Well, that day is today. I know that you are as proud of them as I am. I just wanted to thank you for letting me be their Mom and also for the gift you gave me the last time we saw each other. I know you can't keep your promises but I will hold up my end of our deal. And after everything we went through we could still call each other friends. Rest in peace, dear friend, cause there is no more pain and nothing to fear.

Tarren, I hope you are looking down right now & seeing how much you are truly missed. This has been the hardest thing that I have ever gone through. I never thought that I would be having our 1st thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Jagger's 1st bday or our 1st wedding anniversary without you. I miss you more & more everyday. And I disagree with anyone that says it gets easier because it don't. I can't believe that you are really gone. I just want to wake up from this horrible nightmare & you be with us. I love you & miss you so much. Happy anniversary Tarren. I love you!!!!

Happy 4th of July, Tarren. I love you & miss you. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. I just want to see you, talk to you & be with you. This is so hard for me. I needed you more than you ever knew. I see Jagger growing everyday & he reminds me more & more of you. He will know that you were a good man & that you loved him. I can't wait to see you again. I love you to the moon & back. Kirstie
