Phillip was born on April 27, 1948 to Domingo and Mikki Contreras. He graduated
from Douglas County High School in 1966 and attended Loretto Heights College.
Phillip served as part of the Army Security Agency at Ft. Devens, Massachussetts
before being deployed to Viet Nam. After being honorably discharged from the
service he returned to his roots and lived most of his life in Castle Rock, Colorado.
Phillip loved sports. He played football, basketball and baseball for Douglas
County High School and was a member of the school’s wrestling and track team.
He was also an avid Denver Broncos fan. One of the items on his bucket list was to own
his dream car, a Dodge charger. He realized that dream a couple of years ago
when he became the owner of a Broncos Orange 2018 Dodge Charger. He loved
driving it around and showing it off. Phillip also had a passion for singing. It made him happy and gave him great pleasure to provide enjoyment to others with his talent. He had a beautiful voice.
By far the greatest passion he had was his family. He and his wife Patty had a
combined family of 7 children, 14 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren
