Phillip Allen Vass, Jr.

Phillip Allen Vass, Jr, 42, of Aberdeen, MD, passed from this world on November 3, 2024.

Phil or “Philly”, as he was known by his family, was an avid fisherman and always sought to catch “The Great Atlantic Goldfish” with his daughter and best buddy, Evelyn. Known for his comedic spirit and awesome voice impressions, Phil could always draw a laugh, even in the most dire of times.

Phil was a graduate of Aberdeen High School and attended Harford Community College. He served with Harford County Sheriff’s Office and APG DoD Police Department. He was most recently promoted to the rank of Lieutenant with TCS Security and was very proud of his achievement.

Phil is survived by his wife Jaclyn (nee VanNortwick) Vass and his daughter Evelyn Vass, his parents Phillip Sr. and Tela Vass, his mother and father-in-law Barbara and Robert VanNortwick, sister-in-law Nicole Melara, niece Eden Melara, Aunt Debra and Uncle Wesley Treadway, Aunt Paula Fowlkes, Uncles William Vass III, Curlen Richardson, Great Uncle Deacon Francis H. Winn, and Great Aunts Rachel Winn and Carolyn Ray. He is proceeded in death by his Grandfather William Vass Sr., Grandmother Alicia Virginia Vass, Grandmother Sally Copenhaver and Grandfather William Copenhaver, Aunts Mary Ellen Wright and Vivian Richardson and Uncle Francis H. Vass.

Not one to be easily forgotten, he will be sorely missed by all he touched.
