Phillip grew up in Cheyenne Valley on the family farm and was involved in wheat and cattle most of his life.

They were married 52 wonderful years and had 4 children, 10 grandchildren, and one great grandchild. His greatest joy was his family, and his grandchildren were his heart.
More than anything, he was an entrepreneur and was involved in multiple developmental projects through the years. He had a love for construction and a passion for green energy.
He is survived by his wife Jane (Enid), his children, Alexi (Josh) Tumey-Sandsprings, Annie McGuire (Enid), Ash Sutter (Enid), Joshua (Aimee) Sutter (Fairview), and grandkids, Sydney Tumey (Gage Brooks) -Sand Springs, Maya Tumey (Sand Springs), Hayden Vasquez (OKC), Gabe (Keyauna) Vasquez (Alva), Maycie Calwonsen (Alva), Wyatt Calwonsen (Carmen), Elizabeth, Emily, Brooklyn, and Writer Sutter (Fairview), 1 great grandchild Kingston Vasquez (Alva), and another on the way (Sydney). He is also survived by his sister, Sonna (Alan) Mckee- (Arizona), a sister-in-law Teresa Sutter (Alva), sister-in-law Sandie Martens (Fairview), and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
Phillip is preceeded in death by his parents, a brother, Ed Sutter (Alva), brothers-in-law Mark Burghart (OKC), David Burghart (Bentonville, AR), Dennis Martens (Fairview), in-laws Bill and Millie Burghart.
