Philip Driver, 48, of Paducah, Kentucky, formerly of Benton, Kentucky, passed away on Friday, March 8, 2024, at the Ray and Kay Eckstein Hospice Care Center in Paducah, Kentucky.
Born on May 1, 1975, to Ricky and Vickie Treas Driver in Murray, Kentucky, Philip brought joy and laughter with him wherever he went. He was a people person by heart and had the natural ability to turn acquaintances into friends. His love of interacting with others led to him working many years as a server and bartender, where he was able to meet new people and bring warmth and laughter to any room. One of his favorite jobs in his past was working for an Alaskan cruise ship, where he was able to surround himself with others and witness some of nature's beauty. Philip's fondness for nature led to his passion for flowers and photography, making floral photography one of his favorite things to capture and share with others. Philip also loved to travel and see new places, and when he wasn’t cherishing his time spent with friends and family, he enjoyed watching tv and immersing himself in music. He will always be remembered for his kind spirit and the love, joy, and laughter that he shared with everyone.
He is survived by his partner, Sean Baker of Paducah; his parents, Ricky and Vickie Driver of Benton; one sister, Emily Hill (Shawn) of Benton; one brother, Adam Driver (Kara) of Benton; his aunts and uncles, Jimmy Treas of Benton, Ronald Driver (Kathy) of Benton, Brenda Turner of St. Louis, Missouri, and Tim Driver (Donna) of Calvert City; his five nieces and nephews, Kaylee Blackford, Cash Adams, Orin Hill, Wade Driver, and Ava Driver; several cousins; and his mother in law, Shirley Flood of Paducah.H
He was preceded in death by his grandparents; and one uncle, David Turner.
