Phillip R. Midyette, 74, of Mooresville, went to be with the Lord on July 28, 2025, after a long health battle. He was born in Omar, West Virginia on May 10, 1951, to the late Vera (Hager) Midyette. The Lord blessed him when he sent Richard Midyette into his mother’s life, who would later adopt Phillip. He was a Whiteland High School graduate and served in the United States Air Force during the Vietnam War. Phillip was a Teamster for several years before his retirement in 2013.

Phillip married the love of his life, Christina DeMott Midyette on September 3, 1988. They were members of Mt. Gilead Church and Phillip served communion for several years, creating a group of forever friends.

Phillip was an avid horseman and worked at Midwest Trail Ride in Norman Indiana.

Survivors include his devoted wife and caretaker, Christina Midyette; son, Phillip Mark Midyette (Charity); grandchildren, Abram and Ainsley Midyette; brother, John Midyette (Michelle); and sister, Sheila Myers (Paul).

In honoring Phillip’s wishes, his earthly remains will be cremated and there will be no services. Carlisle – Branson Funeral Service & Crematory in Mooresville has been entrusted with his cremation arrangements.

  4. Thank you, Phil, for being such a steadfast and loyal friend. The friendship you and Mike shared was something truly special—built on trust, laughter, and always being there for one another. Whenever Mike called, you were there—no questions asked. You helped each other in so many ways, through good times and hard work.
    You were a true man of the land—hay farmer, horseman, and friend. There’s something timeless about the kind of life you lived and the kind of friend you were. Now you and Mike are together again, and I find comfort in that. You are deeply missed.

    The short time I have known Phil will last a lifetime. Hay, horses, super bowl Sunday, Christmas bubble lights, banana pudding, and then the wnba. Sending pictures of our vacation fell like he was with us. You will missed and we will see you again

  9. You will be greatly missed by our family, Phil. You have always been such a good friend and great mentor and taught us all so much about how to take care of our little farm. You were always there when we needed help, patient with all of my questions, and there to help us parents try to teach the girls the value of a little hard work. You and Mike taught me a lot and will always be appreciated. In particular, I’ve learned so much about how to bring in the hay and I know you’ll be keeping an eye on that going forward. Cheers to the favorite bale! Sending up much love to you in heaven from the Mendenhalls.
