Philip Gordon Clites Obituary

With solemn reverence, we commemorate Philip Gordon Clites of Silverton, Oregon, whose life came to an end on February 4, 2026 at the age of 99, leaving behind cherished memories. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

As Philip departs from this earthly realm, his essence lingers — a whisper on the wind, a ripple on the water — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of life and death. Though Philip may no longer walk beside us, his spirit lives on in the memories and the legacy Philip leaves behind.

He was predeceased by: his parents, Austin Clites and Ruby Clites. He is survived by: his sister Sherry Penney; and his children, David Clites, Julie Johnson and Jenny Morgan. He is also survived by six grandchildren and four great grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.
