Phillip Bazille 08/21/2026

Phillip Oza Bazille, age 48, of Boyceville, formerly of Hammond, WI, passed away peacefully on August 21, 2026, at his home, surrounded by family and his loving caregivers. He was born on September 8, 1977, in Baldwin, WI, to Henry and Nola Bazille.

He found joy in motorcycle and Jeep rides, always eager to embrace the open road. His love for Scooby-Doo brought him joy as well as bowling. Perhaps his greatest delight was a simple trip to McDonald’s, where he could indulge in his absolute favorites—a warm meal and a refreshing Coke.

Phillip was a beloved son, brother, and uncle, and he will be deeply missed by his mother, Nola Bazille; his siblings, Aaron (Laurilli), Shirley (Mike) Leduc, Tim (Charlotte), Anita (Tony) Brantner, Martha (Joe) Jackson, Lisa (Tom) Rickard, and Eric (Tracey) Bazille; as well as many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, cousins, and friends who loved him dearly.

Phillip was preceded in death by his father, Henry, and his nephew, Jason Bazille.

In honor of Phillip’s life, a private family graveside service will be held at St. Patrick’s Catholic Cemetery in Erin Prairie, where those who loved him will gather. The details of this heartfelt gathering will be arranged by Bakken-Young Funeral & Cremation Services.

As we move forward, let us carry Phillip’s spirit within us, embracing the laughter and joy he brought into our lives. He has left an indelible mark on our hearts, and through our stories of him, his light will continue to shine.
