PHILLIP FLETT August 16, 1963 - March 22, 2014 It is with great, heartfelt sadness to announce of the passing of our husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend, Philip Flett on March 22, 2014. He leaves to mourn his wife of 32 years, Rita, daughters: Raquel (Adam), Rochelle (Christopher), Tricia (Chris), Rachel (Kenneth), and Baby Journey. He also leaves behind his grandchildren: Raymond, Trinity, Brihanna, Christian and unborn baby, and leaves to mourn his brothers: Johnny (Sarah), Bruce (Nancy), Conrad (Florence), and sisters: Brenda, Joy (Riley). He will be missed by his many nephews and nieces, especially his favourite nephew Cromaro Flett. Philip has gone to be in heaven with his predeceased parents Raymond and Lillian Flett and Louie and River Flett. Philip loved to serve his Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ by sharing his faith testimony through his singing. He travelled to many places to be a witness for Christ. His work at Native Addictions Foundation was most important to him as he believed in holistic healing to our people. Even through Philip's illness, he still managed to make people laugh. Wake service will be held at First Nations Community Church, 44 Tentler Street, March 25, 2014 from 7:00 p.m. to 12:00 midnight. Funeral Service will also be held at First Nations Community Church on March 26, 2014 at 11:00 a.m., interment to follow at Brookside Cemetery. Funeral arrangements in care of Monkman Family Funeral Home. Proverbs 20-24 "The Lord directs our steps, so why try to understand everything along the way?"

  • Dear Flett family and many friends, may the Lord give you His peace and healing as you slowly adjust to the 'temporary' absence of your dear Phillip. Isn't it wonderful to know, that in God's time, you who have trusted Jesus as your saviour, will be able to join him FOREVER, AND EVER! Wow, what a thrill!! I often bring to mind Deuteronomy 2:7 for comfort and the 'oomph' to keep me going through thick and thin. Also, I love reading and re reading Revelation ch. 21 and 22. It gets me so excited! Phillip is HOME!! I wish you well, and look forward to meeting you all one day when the Lord returns or calls me home. Love from Shelly in Whistler, BC ><> - Posted by: Shelly Kerwynn (a friend to the ministry) on: Apr 15, 2014

  • Rita, and family I share my condolences with you. I remember so well how you and Philip came to Sioux many times to sing and share the WORD. I also remember how you came to our book store and we were so glad to have your music to pass on to others. Rita, the road ahead may seem dark and long. And it is. I am finding it takes one step at a time. I wish I could be there with you celebrating Philip's life and say good bye. My prayers are with you and the family. - Posted by: Frieda (David) Herschberger () on: Mar 25, 2014

  • Philip and Rita Flett came to Berens River and were ministers at the United Church. Somehow during their time in Berens River, he brought our great-granny's sister into our lives. It was so amazing to find out we had a Granny .. we got to meet her and we fell in love with her. Philip and Rita became family to us ... he loved our Mom as his own Mom. He would come to Berens and kept in touch with our Mom for a long time until he got sick ... but our Mom would always mention him and Rita. She loved listening to his singing .. our thoughts and prayers to his family ... the Lord will comfort you during your difficult time. - Posted by: Isla Whiteway & family (family) on: Mar 25, 2014
