Condolence: I'm so very sorry to read about the passing of your loved one, I hope that your family will find comfort in the God of all comfort Jehovah. I too have felt the sting of death and although it's never easy to say goodbye to those we love, I was able to find much hope in Gods word the bible. 1Corinthians 15:26 And the last enemy, death, will be brought to nothing 1Corinthians 15:55 "Death where is your victory? "Death where is your sting? Revelation 21:4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more neither, will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away... I invite you to please go to JW.ORG where you can learn more about Gods purpose for mankind and how you can see your loved one again in a paradise right here on earth.

Condolence: I was honored to know Phil for many years, both in law enforcement, as a Federal Marshal, and as a friend. I am very sorry for his loss. He was quite a guy.

Condolence: I'm so sorry to hear that Phil is gone. I met Phil while he was a security guard at the Coast Guard and we remained friends at Gold's Gym. I always loved seeing Phil and impressed with his competing in dead squat competitions. I will miss him so much!

Condolence: Mrs Steorts and daughters: I met Phil in 1980 and we worked a lot of nights together, helping each other. Mainly Phil helping me when I was the only Trooper out. Phil was great to work with, I consider him 1 of the best I had the opportunity to work with. He set a lot of good examples. I'll be working in Charleston on Wednesday and I am very sorry I won't be able to attend his service. I at least wanted to share with you how much I appreciated him and what a good person/officer I knew him to be. Fred Wagoner, WVSP Retired

Condolence: Thank you for your service to our country Mr. Steorts!

Condolence: I AM SORRY TO HERE ABOUT PHIL'S PASSING. I WORKED MANY SLEEPY CREEK PATROLS WITH HIM ON THE LAKE. MOST OF THE TIME WE WERE STUCK ON A STUMP TRYING TO GET FREE AND NOT TIP THE CANOE OVER. LET ME TELL YOU, HE WAS FUN TO WORK WITH.I KNOW THE US MARINE IS NOW GUARDING THE GATES OF HEAVEN.

Condolence: My heart felt condolence's goes out to the Steort Family at this time. I've had the pleasure to have known Phil, now for nearly 40 yrs. I counted Phil as good friend. May the Lord bring blessing to the Steort family at this time.

Condolence: I am sorry to have learned of Phil's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with the Steorts family. While Phil was the Conservation Officer in Berkeley County, my late father, David S. Walker, was the Conservation Officer in Jefferson County. These two would work together during deer season and I always got a kick listening to them banter over Phil having served in the Marines and my dad having retired from the Navy. Phil was a character and my dad liked him and liked working with Phil. I know he and my dad are in a place where there's no pain and suffering now.

Condolence: On behalf of the Eastern Panhandle Marines, of which Philip was a Life Member, we the members are sorry for your loss. Phil enjoyed meeting and helping with all our Detachment functions. Phil was a regular at events, fundraisers and meetings. He volunteered to render the salute to fallen Veterans each year at the Iron Mike Statue on Nov. 11th. He was a regular volunteer at fund raisers and enjoyed telling the people we meet about the local Marines and Marine history. Phil will be missed. He is now Guarding the streets of Heaven. As the Poet Binyon wrote: "At the Going Down of the Sun, And in the Morning, We will remember him."

Condolence: I'm so truly sorry. My heart hurts for the pain of your loss. Since Jesus compared death to sleep (John 11:11-14), something that brings me comfort is knowing that there is no cozier & safer place to be than taking a 'nap' in God's memory until the time he promises to awake these loved ones we have lost in death to be reunited with us (John 15:28,29), right here on an earth restored to his original purpose of perfect peace, health, & happiness (Psalm 37:11). And the fact that He then promises to get rid of death forever, tenderly wiping away all the tears it has caused (Isaiah 25:8), so we never have to worry about losing our beloved ones again. What a beautiful day that is to look forward to, being able to once again hold these ones we love & miss so dearly in our arms, & be held in their arms again too, & to know we can then do so under such perfect conditions forever. (Psalm 37:29) I pray God gives you comfort & strength to get through until that time. It's just around the corner. Every day that passes is one day closer. Sending hugs.

Condolence: My sincere condolences to your family. My father, the late David Walker, was friends with Phil. I hope the two have met up in heaven and are reliving their glory days together. God bless and keep you comforted in this time.

Condolence: To the Steorts' family, Having known Phil for almost 40 years, he was one of the upmost professionals. I could always get an answer if I needed a Ch20 question answered. He was dedicated to this State and it's natural resources. I know he has ascended the stairs to set aside our LORD. You can take comfort in knowing where he will spend eternity at the right hand of GOD. You will be reunited with him when the time is right. GOD BLESS YOU IN YOU TIME OF SORROW.

Condolence: Phillip and I were cousins. My father, Fred Johnson, was Bessie Steorts brother. We grew up with Phillip in our lives often. We have been out of touch for such a long time. So sorry to learn that he has passed away.

Condolence: My deepest sympathy in this time of loss. A hope for the future at Revelation 21:4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” For more information you can visit. Jw.org
