Phillip David Hopkins, age 18, of Baldwin, passed away unexpectedly at his home on Tuesday, Feb. 22, 2011.

He was born the son of John and Catherine (Terwilliger) Hopkins on Feb. 3, 1993, in Hudson, Wis. Phillip attended St. Croix Central Elementary School through 1st grade and then attended Baldwin-Woodville Schools from 2nd grade on. He was currently a senior at Baldwin-Woodville High School.

After exploring several different sports through the community sponsored summer programs, Phillip enjoyed playing soccer for several years in the Baldwin-Woodville Hawk Soccer Club. Phillip especially enjoyed the experiences and adventures he had as a Boy Scout with the Baldwin-Woodville Area Boy Scout Troop #110.

Phillip was an accomplished artist, having several works of art chosen for exhibits and show from a very early age. As a high school student, Phillip entered art competitions, enjoyed participation in choir and being chosen for Honors Choir. He excelled at creative writing and showed us his dramatic side through his love of acting and directing. His unique, creative flair and dramatic style emerged through his experiences with drama, stage management, forensics and the All-School Plays.

He enjoyed listening to many styles of music, going to movies, and playing a variety of games with his close friends. Phillip valued all his friends, classmates, teachers, and mentors, and they will miss his many gifts and talents.

Phillip will remain in the hearts of his mother, Cathy Hopkins of Baldwin, and father, John Hopkins of Hudson; siblings, Aaron (Kelly) Hopkins of Frederic, Wis., Amy Hopkins of Baldwin, Debbie Hopkins of Minneapolis, Minn., and Jacob Hopkins of Baldwin; nephews, Logan, Lane, and Brenden; maternal grandparents, Janice and Edward Terwilliger; many aunts, uncles and cousins; numerous close friends and teachers; and his beloved dog, Venus.

He was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, George and Nettie Hopkins; uncle, Joe Hopkins; and aunt, Marilyn Terwilliger.

A memorial service will be held for Phillip at 5 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 26, at Peace Lutheran Church, 2084 Cty Rd. N, Baldwin. Pastors John Hanson, Keith Anderson, and Stu Dix will officiate. Visitation will be 1 hour prior to the service at church and on Friday, Feb. 25, from 4-8 p.m., with a time for reflections and remembrances at 7 p.m., at the O'Connell Family Funeral Home, 1010 Newton St., Baldwin, 715-684-3434.
