Phillip E. Huebner

Phillip E. Huebner, 73, of Whitewater, WI passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, October 31, 2020 at his home.

Phil was born on October 30, 1947 in Waukesha, WI the son of Robert and Lorraine (Kipp) Huebner. He grew up in the Waukesha area and graduated from Waukesha South High School. After high school, he enlisted and faithfully served his country in the United States Air Force during the Vietnam era. On December 11, 1984, Phil was united in marriage to Donna Schmidt in Waukesha and the two enjoyed 22 years of marriage together until her unexpected passing in 2006. God blessed Phil with 3 loving children, Nicole, Phillip, and Joshua. First and foremost in Phil’s life was his family. He was a great husband and father and loved his children and grandchildren dearly. For leisure, Phil’s favorite thing to do was read the newspaper, specifically, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. He would read the paper every day and was always current on the news of the day. In addition to reading the paper, he enjoyed reading novels about the old west. He was an avid sports fan and could fill you in on the Brewers, Bucks, or Packer game if you missed it. Phil enjoyed listening to music and was a fan of Frank Sinatra and also classic Country Music. Phil will be missed, but his memory will live on in those he leaves behind.
