PHILLIP, Mr. Austin Adolphus
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Austin Adolphus Phillip, lovingly known to many as Evangelist Austin.
Born and raised in Newtown, St. Kitts, Austin resided in Toronto, Canada where he passed away on April 11th, 2023 at the age of 75, after a 5 year battle with cancer.
Dear son of the late Stanford and Rosetta Phillip, Austin leaves to mourn his 5 children, Loudanski (Sherryann), Anthony (Lurleen), John, Rosa, and Renee (Jelani); his 10 grandchildren, John Jr., Justin, Jordan, Jerisha, Miguel-Antonio, Arianna, Denieska, Joshua, Zahra, and Zuri; and 4 great grandkids, Janiya, Kapri, True Heru, and Samaria.
He’s predeceased by brother Stanley and will be greatly missed by siblings, Elsa (Kenrick), Loleta, Leroy (Marilyn), Delia, Thelma (Henry), and Clecton, as well as his many nieces, nephews, friends, and his church and bible study families.
Austin grew up playing football (soccer) and singing Calypso under the stage name "Lord Coo" on the island of St Kitts, later moving to the United States, then Canada, where he was a successful real estate broker/owner prior to being ordained as a pastor. He was a devoted follower of Jesus Christ, committing the latter part of his life to sharing the gospel through preaching, song and his charity ministry, Hallelujah Inspirational Ministries.
Viewing will be held on Friday, April 28th at Accettone Funeral Home in Ajax, Ontario (384 Finley Ave) from 5-8pm EST. The funeral will be at Willowdale Pentecostal Church in Toronto (288 Cummer Ave) on Saturday, April 29th - Viewing begins at 10am and service at 11am EST.
Cremation to follow
In Lieu of flowers, the family asks that you consider a donation in Austin's memory to the Canadian Cancer Society or to Willowdale Pentecostal Church
To the entire family, I'm so very sorry for your loss, please accept my deepest sympathy.

Sincere condolences to the Phillip family. May Austin rest in eternal peace.
I was one of the saxophonists who backed him up when he was dabbling in calypso as part of the Casanovas band in high school back in St Kitts.
Those were truly fun days and the last time I saw him we joked about those days.
To the family: I wish you comfort, peace and love at this time of sorrow.
