Note: * OBITUARY *
Phillip Lee Gage, 58, of Palm Harbor, FL, died Wednesday morning, Dec 31, 2014, at his home.
He was born April 17, 1956, at the old Riverside Hospital in Paducah, KY, to Phyllis and the late Donald E. Gage. Mr. Gage was married 36 years to the love of his life, Sue Fewell, who was the daughter of the late Toby & Bonnie Fewell. A graduate of Lone Oak High School and Paducah Community College, he and his wife started their own business, Gage Continuing Education, in 1991. Mr. Gage was always proud of his business and what he and his wife had accomplished together, but he regarded his sons Austin and Paul as his best accomplishment in life.
He had a love for cars and motorcycles - classic, new, or old. However, he had a special love for old trucks. He was very proud of his restored trucks and loved to drive them as much as admire them. He also had a love for animals, especially cats who gravitated to him to supply a meal or a new home.
He is survived by his wife Sue, of Palm Harbor, FL; his sons, Austin Gage of Cape Canaveral, FL, and Paul Gage of Tampa, FL; his mother, Phyllis Gage of Wahiawa, HI; a brother, Donald R. Gage (Cecelia) of Wahiawa, HI; a sister, Lynn Cunningham (Darryl) of New Port Richey, FL; niece Jenni O’Dell (Justin) of Marietta, GA; nephew Rick Kalil (Chelsea) of Kodiak, AK; nephew Matt Kalil (Kelli) of Oldsmar, FL; niece Lisa Intraboona (Arnold) of Birmingham, AL; nephew Gage Cunningham of New Port Richey, FL; and nephews Jarek Gage and Adry Gage of Wahiawa, HI.
He was preceded in death by his father, Donald Earl Gage of Paducah, KY; his father-in-law and mother-in-law Levin ‘Toby’ & Bonnie Fewell of Palm Harbor, FL; his paternal grandparents, Ray & Inez Gage of Paducah, KY; his maternal grandparents, Karl & Naomi Meyer of Paducah, KY.
Services will be held at Sylvan Abbey Memorial Park and Funeral Home of Clearwater, FL, on Saturday, January 3, 2015 at 2:00 pm.
A Prayer Service will be held at Milner and Orr Funeral Home of Paducah, KY, on Tuesday, January 6, 2015 at 11:00 am with Dr. Louis Brinker officiating. Burial will follow at Woodlawn Memorial Gardens.
