Phillip John Deeb

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Phillip (Phil) John (Jake) Deeb, a devoted husband, a loving father, and a cherished friend. Phillip passed away peacefully at Aspire at Sarasota in Sarasota, FL, under the care of Hospice, on May 05, 2025, at the age of 87, surrounded by his loving family.

Born on November 22, 1937, Phil lived a life marked by kindness, generosity, and an unwavering commitment to his family. He was the cornerstone of their lives, a constant source of support, wisdom, and unconditional love. His warm smile and gentle nature could light up any room, and he had a remarkable ability to make everyone around him feel valued and appreciated.

Phil’s greatest joy in life was his family. He was a dedicated husband to his beloved wife of Mary Jane, and a proud and supportive father to his children, Denee Aldana (Jairo), Jean-Paul (JP) (Stephanie) Deeb and Kevin C. Deeb (Deceased 04/04/2021) (Valerie Deeb). He cherished every moment spent with them and did anything he could for them. His grandchildren, Gabriella Parker, Alexander Aldana, Amy Deeb, Erica Deeb and Richard Deeb, held a special place in his heart, and he loved listening to all their accomplishments. He was the fun-loving Pop-Pop-Pop/grandpa who was always willing to drive them where they needed to go or serve them plenty of caffeine-free diet Pepsi’s and klondike ice cream bars.

Professionally, Phil was a respected member of the community, having dedicated over 40 years to his work as a meat cutter. He was known for his friendly demeanor and his hard work ethic. Even after retirement, he remained energetic and willing to do various jobs.

Phil will be deeply missed by his wife, Mary Jane; his children, Jean-Paul (JP) and Denee’; his grandchildren, Gabriella Parker, Alexander Aldana, Amy Deeb, Erica Deeb and Richard Deeb; his sister, Sheila Garlin and Sister-in-Law Claudette Ippolito. His legacy of love, kindness, and unwavering support will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew him.

Phil’s gentle spirit and loving heart have left an indelible mark on this world. He will be forever remembered and dearly missed.
