On December 16th, Eric and Lisa Phillips experienced the profound loss of their 22-year-old son, Bridger, following his prolonged battle with depression.
Bridger graduated from C. M. Russell High School in 2022 and briefly studied cybersecurity after receiving the Complete Your Dreams Scholarship. He then pursued various IT-related jobs, including positions at QLC, as a phone repair technician at Phone Ninja, and, most recently, in IT and cybersecurity at Creative Computer Concepts. Bridger was well-loved by his customers, frequently bringing home-baked goods, gift cards, and tips from appreciative clients.
An enthusiastic historian of World War II, Bridger cultivated a deep respect for the United States and its military, consistently expressing gratitude to veterans for their service.
As the family navigates this challenging period, they have established a GoFundMe page to ask for assistance in covering the funeral expenses.
“Our family is devastated, broken, and hurting. He was loved by so many. We don’t know how to move forward,” explained his mother, Lisa.
