Phill's obituary

Phill Butler, 86, passed away peacefully at his home in Pasadena, CA on Palm Sunday, April 2, 2023, concluding the last chapter of a great adventure in his earthly life, and beginning the first chapter of an even greater adventure in the life to come.

Phill was a dedicated follower of Christ and a visionary entrepreneur who launched and led three world-changing ministries over the course of more than 50 years. He was a pioneer in the mission partnering movement and was deeply committed to facilitating practical cooperation among mission organizations. Phill was an engaging speaker and insightful author whose methods and models were adopted by thousands of ministry leaders worldwide. He left an indelible mark on the lives of many leaders, colleagues, friends and family, and will be greatly missed.

Phill is preceded in death by his wife Jeanne of 25 years until her passing in 1983 and his wife Sybil of 22 years until her passing in 2008. Phill is survived by his sister, Miriam Conrad, two daughters, Kärin and Shelley, and three grandchildren.
