Philip Eldon Mingo, 76, peacefully departed this life on Sunday, June 16, 2024. Philip was born July 15, 1947 in Youngstown, Ohio to the late Alex Mingo and Carmel Brizzi.

He also volunteered for the Brain Injury Association of Ohio for many years and was a proud member of Kiwanis International.

Philip was passionate about many things, including caring for his cats, fishing, gardening, exploring the Allegheny mountains, Mill Creek Park conservation efforts, local sports, and keeping up with his grandchildren’s athletic events and academic achievements.
