A funeral service will be held on Friday, September 11th at 10:00 a.m. at the pavilion at Fairlawn Cemetery , north of Comanche, with Pastor Randy Southerland officiating, under the direction of Comanche Funeral Home.

Phil was born January 31, 1958 to parents Hugh Alexander Jr and Doris Ledbetter. He was a graduate of John Marshall High School in Oklahoma City. He loved music, especially Southern Gospel as well as Elvis Presley. As a young man he became an Elvis imitator and for a short time traveled the states singing the music that he loved. Phil had a unique sense of humor, loved to laugh, and find the humor in everyday occurrences.

He started a career in retail grocery and then moved into the marketing department to do site analysis with Fleming Grocery Companies. During his time at Fleming he met and married co-worker Deborah Adams. They spent the last 29 years together. Health conditions forced his early retirement. During retirement he developed a wide range of hobbies including daily Bible readings and devotions with Pastor Greg Laurie, raising a variety of house plants, taking care of several companion dogs over the years, and collecting autographs.

Phil was preceded in death by his parents H.A. and Doris Ledbetter, and brother Stanley Scott Ledbetter.

Survivors include his wife Deborah of the home in Willow Park, Texas; daughter Kathryn D'shana (Kate) and husband Cody Allen, Moore, Oklahoma, grandsons Blake and Austin Smith of Pensacola, Florida, son Aaron Ledbetter and his wife Natasha and granddaughter Logan Ledbetter, of Gilroy, California.
