Wayne Scott Phillips
(April 20, 1959 - June 1, 2011)
Wayne Scott Phillips passed away at age 52 on June 1, 2011 in Santa Barbara, California.
He is survived by his loving wife, Susan, two sons and daughter-in-love, Daniel and Christen Phillips of Escondido and David Phillips of Lompoc, and his father and late mother, Charles and (Margaret) Evelyn Phillips.
Wayne was born in San Diego in 1959 and grew up there, before moving to Sunnyvale, Riverside and Fullerton where he became an Eagle Scout and graduated from Fullerton High School. He earned a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from UC Santa Barbara and made his career in software engineering in the infrared technology field for Amber Engineering, and finally for Raytheon. He married Susan in 1987 and they made their home in Lompoc from 1989 to present.
Wayne continued to support his family and fully participated in raising their sons in spite of his long battle with Lou Gehrig's disease, which required a move to Goleta Valley Hospital in 1998. Wayne's greatest legacy was his deep love for God and his reliance on Jesus Christ as the source of his strength and perseverance. In spite of his many, many challenges and physical suffering, Wayne continued steadfast in his belief that God is good, and we know that he was received in heaven with great rejoicing: "Well done, good and faithful servant…enter into the joy of your master!"

-------------------------------------------
Wayne was a friend, a lifelong Republican, and Conservative. I took me to a "Young Americans for Freedom" Convention where I was surrounded by thousands of young Ronald Reagan supporters. It was 1976. Jimmy Carter would become president, then, of course, Reagan in 1980. I am a lifelong Social Democrat, but Wayne and I were still friends. He was a sweet man and had a wonderful laugh. He is missed. He is buried at: Bellevue Memorial Park Ontario, San Bernardino County, California, USA
