Philip Sovell, age 39, of Marshall, Minnesota, met Jesus on Sunday, September 15, 2024, at Regions Hospital in St. Paul, Minnesota. No memorial services are planned at this time, but please leave Brenda and family a note or memory on his tribute wall. 

Philip Douglas Sovell was born on June 8, 1985, in Marshall, Minnesota. He was the son of Douglas and Brenda (Nord) Sovell. Philip was baptized at the Christ United Presbyterian Church in Marshall and attended school at Marshall Public Schools. He left high school early but he was proud to eventually earn his GED.

Phil found Pam Neumann and fell in love. He loved spending his time with her, his family, and his friends. His other enjoyments in life included fishing and riding his bike. Philip had such a positive attitude about life - he always wore a smile and was ready to cheer anyone up who was feeling down.

Phil was recently described as a hero for being an organ donor. He died too young at the age of 39 years, 3 months, and 7 days. Blessed be his memory.

He has survived by his mother, Brenda Sovell of Ivanhoe; brother, Brett Sovell of Marshall; special friend, Pam Neumann of Marshall; maternal grandmother, Claris Nord of Slayton; other relatives and many friends.

Phil was preceded in death by his father, Douglas Sovell; brother, Eric Sovell; paternal grandparents, Ted & Marlys Sovell; and his maternal grandfather, Gerald Nord.
