Gouge, age 85, of Burnsville, escaped the sickness and heartaches of this life and moved to heaven on Friday, June 30, 2017, at Mission Hospital-St. Joseph Campus. He was born on November 17, 1931, to the late Sim D. and Beulah Shuford Gouge, and lived most of his life in the Blue Rock Community of Yancey County. He accepted the Lord as his Savior when he was a child in the old Blue Rock Baptist Church. He was affectionately known as "Paw". He was an encourager to his children and grandchildren and always praised them not only for their accomplishments, but for their efforts as well. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, growing beautiful and bountiful vegetable gardens and recounting stories about his life experiences. With a twinkle in his ocean blue eyes, he had a unique way of inserting just enough humor into the story to make it interesting, as well as funny. He loved and was devoted to his Lord, his family, his church family, and his country. He honorably served his country in active combat and was a US Army Veteran of the Korean Conflict. Although his military service took him to far-away places, including Korea, Japan and Hawaii, he returned home from serving his country in December 1959 and married the love of his life, Jean Huskins Gouge, on February 24, 1960. He was a member of Blue Rock Baptist Church where he formerly served as a Sunday School Superintendent and a Sunday School Teacher. He retired from Blalock Construction Co. in Sevierville, TN as a bridge construction foreman. In addition to his parents, Phillip was preceded in death by his brothers: John, Nass, Ray, T.J., Dock, and Tom and his sisters: Ruby Jo Chrisawn, Pauline Brewer, Lucille Robinson, and Pat Tolley and a very special daughter-in-law, Irene (Rene) Griffith Gouge. Left to cherish his memory is his loving and devoted wife of 57 years, Jean H. Gouge, his daughter Beverly G. Mitchell and her husband, Pastor Billy Mitchell; sons: Jeff Gouge and Chris Gouge and his wife, Cindy; his beloved grandchildren: Joshua Gouge, Kirsten Ledford and her husband, Brian; Kenya Woody and her husband, Jeremy, Halie Gouge, Kingslee Mitchell and a very special two week old great-grandson Paxton Woody. He is also survived by one brother, Jim Gouge and his wife, Sylvia, of Blue Rock, his brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews, neighbors and friends. He will be greatly missed by all who loved him. Funeral services will be held at 3:00 PM on Monday, July 3, 2017, in the Chapel of Yancey Funeral Services. His Pastor, Kenneth Forbes, and his son-in-law, Billy Mitchell, will officiate. Burial will follow in the church cemetery, with the committal service conducted by Pastor Kenneth Forbes and Pastor Tull Oaks. Military grave rites will be conducted by Sgt. E.L. Randolph, Chapter 57 DAV. The family will receive friends at the funeral home prior to the funeral from 1 PM to 3 PM. Memorial contributions may be made to Blue Rock Baptist Church, c/o Deborah Hathcock, 1797 Lower Browns Creek, Burnsville, NC 28714, or Yancey County Christian School, Inc., PO Box 1437, Burnsville, NC 28714.
