Philip Warner Autobiography My name is Philip Warner. I was born September 4, 1967. I am the oldest of 13 children born to Karl Warner Jessop and Alyce Allred. Karl’s parents were Joseph Lyman Jessop and Rachael Maleta Porter. Alyce Allred’s parents were Rulon Clark Allred and Ruth Rachael Barlow. My mother is a 2nd wife in a polygamist relationship with my father. I have the last name of Warner because it is my dad’s second name and he did not want legal problems because of his illegal marriage to my mom. I am not sure where the Warner name came from. I was born in Murray Utah and lived most of my childhood life in Lehi Utah. I lived a pretty sheltered life because of my dad’s religious convictions to live polygamy. (There is a whole story here that I will not reiterate on at this moment). At the age of 12, we moved to Montana so that my mom could be closer to her siblings. We lived there a year before returning to Utah for financial reasons. I have many fond memories of Montana where I was the man of the house because my father was rarely there. I grew up in Lehi, Utah and graduated from Lehi High School in 1985. I took a few classes at a UVU, but never got my degree. At the age of 24, I joined the LDS church and 11 months later left on a mission for Paraguay, where I served faithfully for two years and learned the Spanish language. 9 months after my return from my mission, I married Karen Mason and moved to Provo, Utah. We had 4 children, Mason, Anna, Darren, and Kate. I have been a general contractor for about 20 years. I focus mostly on framing new homes but occasionally general contract new homes and additions for others. I like my career because I get to see change every day and I get to practice the Spanish language. I believe that there is nothing more important than family. That being said, after 17 years of marriage, my wife decided that she did not love me anymore and wanted a divorce. I did not want the divorce, and tried everything I could to get her to change her mind. After 20 months of trying, we were finally divorced. I soon after married Emily Gibbons Castleton and moved in with her and her 3 kids. I currently live within a mile of my ex-wife and children. I believe that through our adversities we become stronger. I am grateful for the trials in my life and the love of our Heavenly Father and the great Plan of Salvation. I love the church and am very active. I hope that my kids will see the light that the gospel has to offer and decide to follow the Lord and cleave unto the church.
