Phillip George Petros

Phillip George Petros, of Lowell, Massachusetts, passed away peacefully on January 23, 2026,
after a short illness. He was 69 years old.

Born on June 18, 1956, Phillip was a lifelong resident of Lowell and was proud to call it home.
He lived simply and found a lot of joy in his everyday routine: a good game on TV, a phone call
with his father, and time spent with friends.

As a young man, Phillip served in the United States Army, completing his service in 1976. One of
the highlights of his military career was serving as a trumpet player in the Honor Guard with the
7th Infantry Band, traveling throughout California to perform “Taps” at veterans’ funerals.

After his time in the military, Phillip went on to earn his bachelor’s degree in theology from the
Apostolic Bible Institute in St. Paul Minnesota. He worked for many years as a customer service
representative. He was known for his booming deep baritone voice. He also had a great laugh
that could turn heads and make people smile. Phillip had a nice way of staying connected to his
family members by calling on birthdays to sing “Happy Birthday” in Spanish.

Phillip was predeceased by his beloved mother, Blanche Petros. He is survived by his father,
Joseph Petros, age 101; his sister and her husband, Noreen and Russell Masterson; his daughter,
Sierra Petros; and many uncles, aunts, cousins, and nephews.

In recent years, Phillip lived with his close friend Edward Clinch, who brought great friendship
and support to his daily life.

Phillip will be remembered with love for his distinctive voice, sense of humor, and the unique
ways he showed his friends and family that he cared about them.

His funeral service will take place on Thursday, February 5, 2026 at 10am in the Chapel at Saint Patrick Cemetery. www.mahoneyfuneralhome.com
