Philip S. LoChirco Obituary, With heavy hearts and unwavering hope in Christ, we announce the passing of Philip S. LoChirco of Warrenville, Illinois, who went home to be with the Lord on June 13, 2026, at the age of 24. Born on August 6, 2001, in Hinsdale, Illinois, Phil was the beloved son of Philip and Kenia LoChirco, a devoted husband to Emily, a cherished brother to Isabella and Giovan, and a loyal friend whose presence touched many lives.
Phil was a man of deep faith, reflecting his love for Jesus Christ in all he did. Known for his humility, integrity, and servant’s heart, he made those around him feel welcomed, encouraged, and valued. His unwavering faith was the foundation of his life, inspiring others through his actions and words. After graduating from Yorkville High School, Phil attended Wheaton College, where he played defensive line for the football team and formed lifelong friendships through the Wheaton football brotherhood. During college, he pursued his entrepreneurial spirit with his sandwich business, Chirc Subs, and shared his faith via his Bible study Instagram account, Holy Rollers.
His passion for serving others extended beyond college; he served as a coach, mentor, and leader to junior high and high school students at Wheaton Academy and the Plano area, always leading by example. Phil’s love for people was evident in his relationships. His wife, Emily, was the love of his life, and he cherished spending time with family and friends. An avid gamer, he enjoyed playing Machi Koro and Monopoly Deal, often acting as the “game master,” creating house rules that brought joy and laughter to gatherings.
Phil’s legacy is one of faith, love, and service. He leaves behind his wife Emily; his parents Philip and Kenia; his siblings Isabella and Giovan; grandparents Philip and Kathy LoChirco, Sergio and Dania Del Nodal; and many relatives and friends, including his Wheaton football brothers. His impact was profound, and his memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. A Celebration of Life Service will be held on Monday, June 22, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. at Christ Presbyterian Church, 371 S.
Schmale Rd, Carol Stream, IL. The family will greet guests beginning at 5:30 p.m., followed by fellowship and sharing of memories. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Wheaton Football Ministry Partnership, honoring Phil’s love for his football family and faith. Though mourned deeply, we find comfort in the promise of eternal life, knowing Phil is at peace with his Savior.
