Phillip "Phil" Stevener passed away April 29, 2026 at the home. Phil was born in Nevada, Missouri on October 11, 1955 to Raymond Stevenerand Myra Gibson Stevener. Phil had one brother, Darrell. Phil graduated from Rich Hill High School in 1973. He went on to college at the University of Missouri. He followed in the footsteps of generations before him and dedicated his life to farming. It wasn't just a profession, it was a way of life, value in hard work, good food and time spent with the people he loved. He shared a love of travel with his brother Darrell and was a regular part of their summer family vacations with Debbie and the kids. Phil was always the planner, carefully mapping out destinations and most importantly, the best places to eat along the way. He also had a passion for hiking and exploring national parks, often leading Josh and Mark on memorable trails that pushed them to their limits. Whether they were fully prepared for it or not. A devoted fan of the Kansas City Chiefs, Phil rarely missed a game. His passion for the team ran deep, even if it sometimes came out as frustration when things weren't going their way. That was just a reflection of how much he cared. He is preceded in death by his parents and brother Darrell. His survivors are sister-in-law, Debbie Stevener, two nephews Josh (Tracy) Sullins, and Mark (Morgan) Stevener. Two nieces Talana Sullins and Traci Stevener, six great nieces, one great nephew, cousins and friends.
Graveside service will be held at 10:00 am, Monday, May 4, 2026 at the Green Lawn Cemetery.
