In Memory

In memory of Phillip Stormant

 

On the evening of December 12th, 2014, Phillip Stormant, BA '11, passed away in a peaceful manner. He became one with the light he loved at the age of 29. A memorial service was held for his family and friends in Pensacola, Florida in December. Read more from Phillip's family. 

 

If you wish to act in Phillip's memory, his family requests that donations be sent to the Phillip Stormant Memorial Fund. Funds will be used to help start the Love and Light Art and Farming community where troubled souls may go to heal. You are also invited to leave a message of love on Phillip's Facebook page as well.
