"Dearest pastor Theo, I still find it had to believe, but then again I remember you for all you were. I remember my first Sunday service with you, it was so beautiful, and from then I always looked forward to every service, I remember how you taught us to always respond, I remember your favorite Worship song, at almost every service we always sang "with my voice lifted up", I remember how you loved thanksgiving. Instead of crying I give God thanks for the beautiful life you led, the lives you imparted and changed, thank you for putting little pieces of you in all of us. I love you forever pastor sir."

"A Tribute to My Friend, My Older Brother, and Colleague Dear Pastor Theo, After knowing you for so many years, it was particularly during this past year, and even more so in these last six months, that I came to experience firsthand the depth of your love, compassion, and courage. I had known you for years, but in this season, I got to know you in a deeper and more personal way, and I am so grateful that I did. You were a brother and a friend. I recall one of our conversations that lasted almost an hour. You asked for my opinion on something very personal to you. At first, I thought you were simply being sarcastic, as you so often were. However, as the conversation continued, I realized that you genuinely valued my opinion. That moment opened the door to an even deeper fellowship between us, one that I will always be grateful for. You were an ardent follower of the Man of God, Pastor Chris, and a passionate advocate for the Campus Ministry. You were always thinking about growth, expansion, and impact. Your thoughts were: “If we are wrong, we will be corrected, but we can’t go back without massive results”. “This is the Campus Ministry of the Man of God, Pastor Chris, everything we do must be big”. We must deliver a million young people to Pastor. That was your mindset. You believed deeply in the vision, and you wanted to see it accomplished with everything in you. You were thoughtful and generous. I remember saying to you, “Pastor Theo, that jacket looks really good on you.” You immediately responded, “You like it, ehn?” and proceeded to tell me where you got it. Later that evening, my phone rang. “Pastor D, where are you?” I told you I was at the parking lot at Omnia Suites. “Wait there for me. Don’t go anywhere. I won’t be long.” A short while later, you showed up with a brand-new jacket of the same kind, for me. “If it doesn’t fit well, let me know. I’ll get you the right size tomorrow.” That was you, Pastor Theo. I didn’t even say I wanted it. You noticed things others didn’t give much attention to. You paid attention to people. You would check on everyone often, especially if someone missed or was late to a meeting: “I noticed you joined the meeting late, hope everything is okay?” Those little things said so much about the kind of person you were. You were a man of prayer, always present at prayer meetings. We could always guarantee that you would be there, on time, praying. Your commitment to prayer was not occasional or convenient. It was a part of your life and your service to the Lord. You had the heart of a pastor. You were thoughtful and considerate of people’s excesses. You were never afraid to tell people the truth to their faces, but even when you disagreed with someone, your love for them did not change. A disagreement was simply a disagreement. It did not become a reason to withdraw your love. You would make concessions for people and continue to stand with them. That was the largeness of your heart. You made such a lasting impact in the lives of all those who encountered you. There are so many moments, conversations, acts of kindness, prayers, and expressions of love that will continue to speak long after today. Truly, you impacted the world with the investment of your personality. You lived, you loved, you served, and you made your life count. You will never be forgotten. Your life is worth celebrating every day! I am grateful for the years, and especially grateful for these last months when I had the privilege of knowing you more closely. Looking forward to seeing you at the Rapture of the Church. I love you always!"

"*Tribute to an Elder Brother, a Cheerleader, and a Man of the Spirit* Our dear Pastor Theo, how beautiful are the feet that bore good news, the hands that guided, and the words that gently corrected, firmly supported, and graciously comforted. I will miss you until that glorious morning of the rapture of the Church, when we shall celebrate together again. 

One of the most challenging adjustments I’ve had to make has been not hearing your voice every weekday morning (except Wednesdays) on the Campus Ministry Senior Pastors’ call. A man of consistency, steadfast as the northern star. A man of prayer. Thank you for galvanizing us to pray at every opportunity. I remember the different opportunities seized on those calls to admonish us on the importance of our prayer and our attitude to participating in it.

With Pastor Theo, you could always expect candor. No sugarcoating, no hidden motives or agenda. He wore his heart on his sleeve, a man brazen in his loyalty to the ministry’s vision, to the man of God, Pastor Chris, and to the Lord Christ. Pastor Theo held no personal ambition or ulterior motives. He always desired what was best for all. He desired to walk in the truth. He would always humbly ask, “please tell me; I want to learn, if I’m wrong.” And he meant it with all humility. 

Amongst the Regional Secretaries in the Campus Ministry of LoveWorld, Pastor Theo was the binding force that held our brotherhood together, the one to assemble us to give towards the wedding of a brother, the one to call us to give a seed to past Campus Ministry Directors. He was the one to call individually, as led by the Spirit, to ask how our work was going, to give suggestions, to cheer us on. What a heart you have.

I am grateful to have rejoiced in your light, dearest Pastor Theo, and I will yet rejoice in it on that glorious day. You showed me greatness up-close. Thank you for your inspiring humility, giving me a space to have my opinions heard and letting them count. Your greatness never intimidated; it only lifted. You cared deeply, and made sure no one was ever left behind. 

I am grateful to the man of God, Pastor Chris, for causing me to meet such an extraordinary man as you, a man after God’s own heart. It’s true that Heaven has gained, but you will be sorely missed on this side of Heaven."

"I wasn't Pastored by you directly Sir, but anytime I get to meet You personally, you always encourage me go keep winning and to keep fighting. Thank You Sir for Your kind and warm smile always. I love you dearly Sir."

"I want to say actually thank you sir even though I never had the opportunity to say to you directly sir but thank you sir for always believing in me and also for installing in me the mindset of Excellence sir. I'll always love you sir."

"I honestly can't still believe that a day actually came where I'd have to write a tribute for you. Words fail me to express how heartbroken I feel. My only consolation is that I know that you are with the Lord. Thank you for a life well lived, and the impacts you've made in many lives, including mine. You are one person that can't come into someone's life and the person remains the same. When I met you, you didn't just give me a place to stay, you gave me a home, a covering. I love you Pastor Sir, and I'll forever keep loving you. You'll forever be in my heart. You really are one of the best things that ever happened to me. Continue to rest in the bosom of the Lord."

"Pastor Theo Phillips, my friend. I miss you so very much. One of the greatest experiences I had with you was when you told me, “Clem, whatever you are doing right now is from E City to the rest of the world. From Ekpoma to the rest of the world.” I have carried those words with me for quite some time, and I have truly keyed into them. The last time we spoke, I had posted about my business and the opening of a new branch. You said, “I see what you are doing. You are doing well, Clem. I still remember. I hope you are still going to church. Stay blessed.” In all my years of being a Christian, I have never met a man who spoke about God in a way that made me, personally, draw closer to God to this extent. You made me want to find God for myself. You made me want to love God for myself. And for that, I will always be grateful that I met someone like you. I miss you, Pastor. But I carry your words with me."

"Dear man of God, I am supposed to be strong but the grief I feel now can’t be expressed in words but I know you would want me to be strong and still hold on to the unwavering strength,love and faith you have thought me. There is a lot of things that have been left undiscussed but I want to say that I am enterally grateful for the grace you have extended to me and I don’t take you for granted at all sir . Thank you Pastor . I love you so much."

"Pastor T as we mostly calls you, your life was an example of what God can do with a man.You're a man who expresses love , meekness ,so principled, result orientation, family oriented... The fullness of Christ was displayed through you and you poured on us that same spirit.I know you've gone to join in the cloud of witness watching us as we dwell and manifest that which have be given to us by God through your obedience to his calling.... I love you so dearly pastor sir,till we meet again"

"A Tribute to Pst. Theo Pst. Theo was a man of faith, full of love and life. He didn’t just preach the Word he lived it. The way he loved God, the way he loved people… it changed me. He impacted so many lives, including mine. Everything he taught us is what I’m still standing on today. His wisdom, his prayers, his encouragement are still guiding me in life. He may be gone from our sight, but his voice, his lessons, and his faith live on in all of us he poured into. Thank you, Pst. Theo. We honor you. We miss you. And we will keep living what you taught us. Until we meet again sir."

"This is a beautiful tribute. Here’s a polished version that keeps the warmth and personal memories while making it flow more naturally: A Tribute to Pastor Theo My kind and ever-loving Pastor Theo, You have made such a meaningful impact on my life. Anytime you were on the phone with my mom and I was around, you would always ask to speak with me. Whenever we talked, you would ask about my school, my spiritual life, and everything else happening in my life. Those conversations always meant so much to me. You have been such a good uncle to me since I was little. I will always remember how you would take Elvita, Davina, and me out whenever we getvto see you, buy us things, and make sure we had a good time. I especially remember when I was small and you took Elvita, Davina, and me out for ice cream and pizza. Those are memories I will always treasure. I always looked forward to seeing you and hearing your voice whenever you called. You were always so kind, caring, and intentional with me, and I am grateful for every moment, every conversation, and every memory we shared. I miss you so much, Pastor Theo. But I find comfort in knowing that you are in a safe place. You were a true man of God. You loved God deeply, and I know that God loves you even more. Thank you for being such a wonderful uncle and such a beautiful example of faith and love. I will carry your memory in my heart forever. Rest peacefully, Pastor Theo. You will always be loved and deeply missed Praise Owase"
