We reach out to Phillip’s parents Greg and Virginia Hughes, sister Megan and brother Jason, offering our love and support during this most difficult time. We are all here for you.
Macksville is a strong and close community. We are all shocked and saddened by what has happened to Phillip.
We are all very proud of Phillip’s achievements and will remember him fondly as a favourite son.
