In Remeberance Of My Cousin Phillip Workman




Phillip was the first grandchild on the Sotelo side of the family. On Monday October 19th he passed away unexpectedly at the early age of 36. He suffered a massive heart attack. Phillip will be terribly missed. Growing up I always thought of Phillip and I still do think of him to be a very kind and intelligent person. He always had a kind and gentle domineer about him and he would do anything for anyone. And this boy could play the classical guitar like nobodies business. Phillip we will all miss you very much. Till we meet again...


ABC 15 NEWS and AZ CENTRAL *** An Arizona National Guardsman and Peoria resident suffered cardiac arrest and died while training at Camp Williams in Utah Monday.
Sgt. Phillip Workman, 36, was participating in a physical training test when he had a heart attack. First aid was administered at the scene, but he was unresponsive and was pronounced dead at a hospital.
Maj. Paul Aguirre, spokesman for the Arizona National Guard, said Workman was physically fit and officers weren't aware of any health issues.
Workman enlisted in the Guard in 2006 and was deployed to Afghanistan in 2007 with the 1-158 Infantry, also known as the Bushmasters for its storied service in World War II.
He is survived by his wife, Cindy.

The service was incredible; he was so loved and respected. Dad and I were so grateful we were able to attend. Seeing the whole family was a HUGE blessing as well. Cindy and Enoe were very strong, usually the ones doing the comforting. I will remember Phil always as being a phenomenal classical guitarist-his playing made me fall in love with the music.
