Support for Phillip Budnik's Family

Dear friends, family, and community,

It is with a heavy heart that we share the devastating news of the passing of Phillip Budnik, a dedicated Marine, loving husband, father, son, and brother. Phillip’s sudden and tragic loss has left a void in the lives of all who knew him, but especially in the hearts of his beloved wife and their infant daughter.

Phillip’s life was one of service, courage, and love. As a Marine, he embodied loyalty and sacrifice, always willing to go the extra mile for his country and comrades. But to those closest to him, Phillip was so much more than his uniform. He was a devoted husband, sharing an unbreakable bond with his wife, and a proud new father to a baby girl he cherished beyond words.

In this time of deep grief, we find solace in our faith, trusting that Phillip is now resting in the arms of our Savior. Though our hearts ache from his absence, we hold onto the promise that, as the Bible tells us in John 14:27, *“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”* Phillip is now at peace with the Lord, and though he is no longer with us physically, his spirit and love will continue to surround and guide his family.

His wife is now faced with the unimaginable challenge of raising their precious daughter without him. As Christians, we are called to bear one another’s burdens, and we ask you to join us in lifting up Phillip’s family in prayer and support during this difficult time.

The funds raised through this GoFundMe will go directly to supporting Phillip’s wife and daughter. Your generous donations will help ease the financial burdens of funeral costs, daily expenses, and ensure that Phillip’s daughter is provided for in the years to come. Through our collective love and generosity, we hope to offer them some comfort and stability in this uncertain season.

While we cannot take away the pain of this loss, we trust that God is with Phillip’s family, giving them strength, peace, and hope. We ask for your prayers and any contribution, no matter the size, to help his wife and daughter as they walk this road ahead.

Thank you for standing with us in honoring Phillip Budnik’s legacy and offering hope to those he left behind. Your love, prayers, and generosity are deeply appreciated.

With gratitude and faith,

Friends and Family of Phillip Budnik
