C'est avec beaucoup de tristesse que j'ai appris le deces de "Son Excellence", comme j'aimais appeler Philippe. 

Il restera pour moi un exemple de rigueur au travail mais aussi dans le sport.  Il etait d'une grande generosite avec son temps: pour partager son savoir, soutenir les equipes de triathletes ou encore veiller a l'approvisionnement regulier de fromages. Sa gentillesse et son sourire manquent deja au WTC.

Avec nos plus sinceres condoleances a sa famille,

Isabelle Yao-Leclerc & sa famille

So sad to ear that bad news. I am no more on triathlon activity but I remember Philippe and is family. My children played a lot at Embrun lack with the Lepetit children before the Embruman race.  Lepetit family, was apreciate on the tri91 team for there kindness and quietness.

Tout plein de pensées à sa Petite famille. 

RIP 

Philippe, ta présence discrète et silencieuse va nous manquer, comme elle manquera à toute ta famille. Beaucoup d'images et de souvenirs ensemble qui continueront à nous visiter, une partie de toi restera là malgré tout. 

Toutes nos pensées affectueuses à la famille et aux proches. De tout coeur avec vous !

My words "as they came":

Just Before Fall you Fell.

Philippe my Dear. Nous reste ton Sourire.

Sweet Memories du Temps Passé. Ensemble. Toulouse ou Australie. La Mémoire est Fragile.

Évoquer ta Mémoire m'est Difficile.

Nous avons Partagé et Partageons encore Eurocat 2000. Top Sky. 2000's Years. Sweet Memories. Golden Years. Before TAAATS. And After...

We also Shared,, at Least the Spirit & Experience of Triathlon. With Didier A, Christophe P, Chistelle B, Marc D, Jérôme de la P (RIP), Laurence C & many others that I should Remember. Expats on TAAATS.

But, at this time, You Were Already a Star of the Discipline. An Iron Man !!! Ô Man. Hey Men. Amen.

Now, You Are One among the Stars. Say Hello to the Seven Sisters, over There. Down Under, Where... You Inspired So Many Friends. So Many Stars. So Many Stars. I Wish U a Nice Race Among Them !!!

Good Bye Mate !!! We'lll All Miss Your Smile.1962,-2025 !!! Life is Truly Unfair.

With You Mate, in Addition, I Share, this Birth Year. C'était l'Année 62' !!! See You There !!! If There is any "There" Anywhere dans l'Univers. 

Aille Aille Aille, j'ai du Mal, avec ton Absence, ma Memoire et mes "Vers" qui me viennent à l'Envers. Comme pour me dire, dans ce Monde à l'Envers, Remember your Life Down Under !!! We Will All Miss You Philippe.

My Sincere Condolence to Your Familly, Friends & Work Mates.

Mes sincères et profondes condoléances à la famille Lepetit étendue pour la disparition de Philippe. Collègue très éloigné par la distance, Philippe était une personnalité et une expertise impactante, par sa gentillesse et son pragmatisme au service d'une industrie aéronautique exigeante et de passion. Merci pour to bienveillance, ton accompagnement et ton engagement. Tu as eu une vie pro bien remplie dont tu peux être fier, toi le pionnier qui a monté l'ATM en Australie.

Repose en paix. 

Toutes mes condoléances à chacun d’entre vous 

Anne-Claire 

My deepest condolences to Philippe's Family, friends and colleagues.

The paths we shared & discovered over many years of lunchtime runs, will remain as fond memories.

Rest in Peace Coach!

Mes sincères condoléances à toute votre famille. 

Affectueusement

Très affectée par le départ soudain de Philippe,  je vous adresse à vous tous mes sincères condoléances. 

Je partage votre peine et je suis avec vous dans cette cruelle épreuve.  La séparation d'un être aimé est douloureuse,  seul le temps qui passe peut légèrement atténuer cette absence si pesante. 

Je vous embrasse tous affectueusement.

I am deeply saddened to learn of Philippe's passing. Having worked closely with him since December 2022, I had the privilege of knowing Philippe not only as an exceptional colleague but as a mentor, friend, and true gentleman.

Philippe was sincerely one of the finest engineers I have ever worked with. His wealth of knowledge and ability to recall specific details from years of experience at Thales was remarkable, but it was how he shared that wisdom that set him apart.  

Philippe was my mentor as I assumed the role of solution architect - a significant career transition that he guided me through with patience and insight. He had no ego and allowed people to make their own choices, providing careful oversight and guidance when needed. He was thoughtful and considered in everything he said. He may not have spoken often, but when he did, his words carried profound significance.

What I will remember most was Philippe's gentle nature and generous heart. Our daily lunches together became treasured moments - sharing stories about our families and discovering his wonderfully dry sense of humour. He had a knack for lifting spirits, sharing chocolates and mochi from his desk drawer when things got tough - his way of putting a smile on the team and motivating us forward.

Philippe's dedication to fitness was inspiring. Watching him cycle incredible distances to work, then go for a run at lunch, embodied his disciplined approach to life. During a challenging time in my life, his advice to me was simple. "You need to get on that bike, Steven". His encouragement to join him on rides spoke to his understanding that sometimes physical fitness is the best approach to work through what ever we are facing. My deepest regret is not taking him up on those invitations.

Philippe's impact extends far beyond our professional collaboration. He was a mentor, friend, and example of how to approach both work and life with grace, wisdom, and quiet strength.

My deepest condolences to his family and all who knew him. Philippe's legacy lives on in the countless people he guided, supported, and inspired.

Plus sincères condoléances à la famille. Philippe restera dans la mémoire de tous ceux qui l'auront côtoyé. Il laisse derrière lui des réussites discrètes qui font et feront voler encore beaucoup d'aéronefs.

Bon vol à toi.

I was so saddened and shocked to hear about Philippe’s passing. I always imagined him riding, running and swimming until the end of time. He was always such a kind, encouraging, gentle person who I so enjoyed spending time with. My favourite memories are from the summer Mark and I spent driving around France with Philippe following the tour, and when he literally was by my side for my first marathon. He was always happy to support you with any big, audacious goal.

My heart goes out to his family in what must be such a difficult time. 

I was so saddened when I heard the news of Philippe's passing. I'm so sorry for the loss of Philippe. My thoughts are with his family and friends during this difficult time.

May, in heaven, Philippe Rest in Peace.

Nous sommes très touchés par le décès soudain de Philippe. Nous pensons bien fort à Nathalie, aux enfants et petits-enfants de Philippe et vous envoyons toute notre affection.

Famille Dutrieux

Sincere condolences to Philippe’s family.

It’s deeply saddening to hear of his passing, he will be remembered as a quiet, kind and supportive man.

My thoughts are with his family

Regards
