Phil Noonan

In Loving Memory of
PHILLIP NOONAN
December 2, 1947 – June 19, 2026
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Phillip Noonan on June 19, 2026, at the age of 78.
Phil was born in Winnipeg and grew up in Wildwood Park. He leaves to cherish his memory his beloved wife of 52 years, Judy Nixon, along with his nieces, nephews, great-nieces, extended family, and many dear friends. Phil was predeceased by his loving mother and father Nancy and Bernard Noonan.
Phil lived a life filled with passion, curiosity, and an unwavering love for the people closest to him. He will be remembered for his warm heart, his quick wit, and his remarkable ability to make family and friends feel connected, no matter the miles or the years between them.
Phil loved photography and music, music was truly the soundtrack of Phil’s life. He was known for having one of the largest and most diverse music collections among those who knew him. His appreciation for music crossed every genre and generation, and he found great joy in sharing favorite songs, discovering new artists, and introducing others to his favorite musicians including Jimi Hendrix. Phil’s collection reflected not only his incredible knowledge of music but also his belief that every song could tell a story.
From the time he was 11 years old, Brereton Lake in the Whiteshell held a special place in Phil’s heart. Summers at the lake became a lifelong tradition, filled with laughter, gathering of family and friends, good food, plenty of wine, and unforgettable memories. It was a place where he felt truly at home and shared this with many who visited and hold fond memories to today.
Phil had a passion for fine wine and was considered a wine connoisseur by many. Whether enjoying a special vintage or sharing a bottle over a meal with family and friends, he believed the best moments in life were those spent together.
Phil treasured his family and friends. He made it a priority to stay connected, he acknowledged the milestones and never missed an opportunity to check in and have a chat. His thoughtfulness, and genuine interest in others created many lasting friendships.
Although Phil’s favourite songs may have come to an end, the music he loved, the memories he created, and the love he shared will continue in the hearts of all who knew him and he will be deeply missed.
The family would like to express their sincere gratitude and appreciation for the doctors, nurses and the homecare professionals who cared for Phil over the past few years.
There will be no formal service.

Cheers, my friend. We met when we were pushing 20, and you left us now that we're pushing 80. Thanks for 59 years of a unique and memorable friendship. So glad we stayed in touch. I am grateful to have so many crazy, indelible and delicious memories. Love, Chuck
