Phillip Bruce Stott, age 90, of Delton, Michigan, passed away peacefully on September 14, 2026. He was born on May 13, 1936, in North Wales, Pennsylvania the son of Paul and Edith (Martinis) Stott.

Phillip was the beloved husband of Susan Stott, née Lombardini, and a proud father to Paton Stott and his wife Jade, Jocelyn Stott, and Nathaniel Stott and his wife Jennifer. He was also a cherished grandfather to seven grandchildren, each of whom brought him great joy. He is also survived by his sister, Deborah Crom, and her husband Ted. Phillip treasured his family deeply, and the love he shared with them was a defining part of his life.

Phillip pursued his education with dedication and purpose, attending Dickinson College before earning his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania Medical School. He went on to complete his residency at Henry Ford Hospital, where he developed the skills and compassion that would guide his distinguished medical career.

After residency he served at the Naval Hospital in San Diego at the Pulmonary ward because the field of Oncology was in its infancy. Phillip became one of the first board certified Oncologists in the country. He later served as an Oncologist and Hematologist at Borgess Hospital and Bronson Hospital, and for many years he also maintained his own practice. Through his work, Phillip touched countless lives with his knowledge, steadiness, and care.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, Phillip was a man of many interests and talents. He enjoyed cutting wood, woodworking, gardening, fishing, and boating, and he found satisfaction in work that kept his hands busy and his mind engaged. He appreciated the outdoors and the simple pleasures of a well-lived day. These pastimes reflected the same patience, skill, and determination that he brought to every part of his life.

Phillip was also deeply committed to his community. He was a member of the Hickory Corners American Legion and was involved with the Delton Library. He served as a member of the Delton Kellogg School Board, where he gave his time and energy to the betterment of local education. With the help of his wife, he played an important role in starting the soccer team at the school and building the soccer field, and he coached soccer for many years. His dedication to the students and families of the area left a lasting legacy that will be remembered with gratitude.
