    I love my brother and will miss him a lot. I am so thankful that I know he is with Jesus and healthier than he has ever been! 🙌🏻

    Philip was a great guy. I knew Philip when we were in high school at Beebe in the mid 1970’s. We also attended church together for many years. He will be greatly missed. To his family, May God grant a peace and comfort that only He can provide. Rest in peace Philip until we meet again!

    We send our deepest sympathy to the Ballard family in the passing of Phillip. Never was there a time that Phillip did not have a smile or handshake when he greeted you. We are blessed to have known Phillip and we know that he is now walking the streets of Glory with both hands raised and shouting Victory. Jesus has welcomed another child home.
