Grigory, Sofiya and Yuliana and family,
I am so so sorry for the death of your son and brother.   I can't imagine dealing with that at his young age.   I do remember him sitting with you, Grig, up at 2nd floor Lobby area while you were working at the work area.   He was always so pleasant and friendly when I ran into him outside or in the elevator, etc.   
My prayers and heartfelt sympathy to all of you.  May you find strength in each other and peace in the cherished memories you hold close to your hearts.

Philip,

I am saddened by the news of your passage early this morning. Your smiling and friendly face appears vividly in my memory. As a parent, I remember you as a talented midfielder with smart plays on the field, hard work ethic and coachable kid in practice. In fact, I have never seen you missed a practice or game. Winning or losing, you handled it well as a mature player. Your teammates trusted you with the ball. There were so many great memories watching you play on the sideline. You will be missed and I and Xavier will keep you in our prayers ♥️🙏

Philip,
I still can’t believe you’re gone. It doesn’t feel real. You were one of the funniest, most respectful, loving, and caring people I’ve ever known. Your presence lit up every room, and your kindness touched everyone who had the privilege to know you.

Your passion and love for soccer were unmatched. Whether it was on the field or off, your dedication and spirit inspired everyone around you. It was truly an honor being both your coach and your friend.

You’ll always have a place in our hearts, and your memory will live on in every game, every laugh, and every moment we shared.

Rest easy, Philip. You’ll never be forgotten.

We are so deeply saddened to hear about your loss. Please accept our heartfelt condolences on behalf of our family.

Philip will always be remembered as a kind and radiant boy.

May the love you share and the memories you treasure bring you comfort and strength during this difficult time.

With all our sympathy and care,
The Kryazhev family

I am truly just heartbroken to hear of Philip's passing.  He was a good friend to my son, Brendan, throughout the Belvedere years but they also stayed in touch during the middle and high school years.  I remember Philip well from my time volunteering in the classroom at Belvedere as he and Brendan were in many of the same classrooms together.
Philip was a bright, engaging, interesting, and kind young man.  I always enjoyed time talking with him during the time in the classroom but also in recent years when I would see him on occasion.  I remember when he started his shoe business and being so impressed by his entrepreneurial spirit, but not surprised by it.  He was bright and smart!  He was so loved by his friends.  They are heartbroken as well.  You are all in our thoughts.

To the Family of Phillip 

We are heartbroken to hear of your loss. Please accept our deepest condolences from the Monterrosa family. Fernando and Nikki were soccer friends with Philly, and we remember him with great warmth and admiration.

Having also known his father through soccer training, we want you to know that your family is in our thoughts and prayers. May you find strength in each other and peace in the cherished memories you hold close to your hearts.

With love and sympathy,
The Monterrosa  family

We are so very sorry to hear of Philips passing. We will remember Philip very fondly. I remember the time when Philip rode with our family to a soccer tournament in Richmond. Another parent said to me “I love Philip, he’s so funny”. I told her that I didn’t think he said 2 words on the ride to Richmond and I hadn’t yet experienced how funny he was. Shortly after that conversation I had the opportunity to enjoy his humor and great wit. He kept us laughing the rest of the trip.  He will be missed sorely. May he rest in eternal peace. ❤️
