Phillip Lee Metz
December 9, 1945 - February 14, 2024
We are saddened to announce the passing of our husband, father, and grandfather, Phillip Metz, on February 14, 2024.
Phillip Lee Metz was born in Kokomo, Indiana, on December 9, 1945, to Lester and Marjorie (Baker) Metz. He spent his youth in Southern California, graduating from Huntington Park High School before serving in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. He married Marsha on April 27, 1968, and with her had two children. The family moved to Fallon in 1978, where they made their permanent home.
Phil is survived by his wife, Marsha; children Terry and Katy (Johnson); grandchildren Austin, Taylor, Alexis, Emma, and Connor; and great-grandchildren Madison, Londynn, Harper, and Soren, all of Fallon. Phil was known in our community as a horseshoer, steer wrestler/team roper, school bus driver, drag racer, and – to many – a friend. He will be missed.
