Baja Nomads has lost another good guy


It is with great sadness I report the loss of a good friend and
fellow nomad ''Dono" who died yesterday afternoon in an
equiptment accident in Los Barilles BCs.
Don Phillips was known to most in this area and will be sadly missed by all who knew him, his humor, honesty, and love of things Baja. My simpathys to Mary. Arriangments are pending.
Rest in peace good friend.
Mike and Tere, and kids
We will miss you mucho

Mike, we are sorry for the loss of Dono.


of your compadre and fellow Nomad. Even though I never had the priviledge of meeting him, I have read many of his posts, including his last in late November, 2006. His obvious passion and reports of things Baja shows his love for our common interests.

Our sincere condolences...from myself and my wife..to yourself and to Don's family.

Que lastima...Lo siento.

Does anyone have a picture of Dono they can post??

I'm wondering if this is the Don I knew years ago.

Thanks, Amo

R.I.P. Donovan


Hi all,

My family and I live (periodically) right across the street from Don. I was just sitting in my back yard with Don and Mary on the 30th of December, laughing and making jokes as usual. If it were not for Don & Mary's friendship offered to us over 8 years ago, my family and I would not have our home in Los Barriles. Don was always a good friend to our family and he will be greatly missed for sure. We are all blessed knowing him for even that short of a time period.

I have heard that a funeral service will be held on the beach in front of their house on Thursday. I am sad that we cannot attend but we are all thinking of you Don and extend our prayers to you and Mary.

Rest well my friend.
