Philippe was born on March 27, 1967 in Rimouski, QC. He attended Loyola High School in Montreal and graduated from the Collegiate at the University of Winnipeg.

The family would like to thank the doctors and staff at the Health Sciences Centre for their care and compassion. Special thanks to Fr. Peter Monty for being there.
