Phillip Allred

July 27, 1959 — November 21, 2024

Ephraim, Utah

Phillip Martin Allred passed away on November 21st, 2024, at the age of 65.

He was born on July 27th, 1959 to Forrest Rich Allred and Emily Jesgwin Carlson Allred in Provo, Utah. He was the fifth of nine children. He spent his younger years in Springville, UT, Greely, CO, Bellavue, WA, and finally in Aberdeen, SD. He graduated from Aberdeen High School in 1977.

 After a year of studies at Brigham Young University, he served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Japan Fukuoka Mission from 1978-1980. Upon returning from his mission, Phillip met Julie Ruml. They were married in the Jordan River Temple on January 16th, 1982. He graduated with a Bachelors degree from BYU in 1984 and received his JD from BYU Law School in 1988. He practiced law for one year with his brother, Forrest, in South Dakota. However, he took interest in computers in his college years, and he left the law practice in 1989 to work for WordPerfect in Orem, UT. He later became CIO for law schools in both Houston, TX, and Brooklyn, NY. His last years of work were spent in IT at Snow College in Ephraim, UT.

 Phillip happily filled callings in the Church throughout his life. He served in the nursery, Young Men’s, Scouting, and the Bishopric, as well as on the High Council and as Stake Young Men’s President, Bishop, and Elder’s Quorum President. 

 Phillip had a lifelong love of and talent for music. His tenor voice and ability to play and teach many instruments were a blessing to those around him, and he enabled and inspired his family members to carry on his musical traditions.

 Phillip was a gentle, kind-hearted man with a sense of humor. His character included an intellect, curiosity, and love of learning, and a humility of spirit and love and acceptance of others. While he was a gifted teacher, he also was self-taught in many respects. Most importantly, his wife and children remember him for fulfilling best his most important roles, that of husband and father, and disciple of Jesus Christ.

 Phillip was preceded in death by his father and mother, and sister Margaret Scorseby.

Phillip is survived by his wife, Julie Ruml Allred, and his children Robbie (Sunny), Christian (Jamie), Lisette, Natalie Bean (David), William (Lisa), Carol (Mark Haskell), Phillip (Rachel), Thomas, Anna Auras (Jared), and Emma Thurston (Gabe), as well as by 15 grandchildren.
