Joe was born August 18, 1941 in Houston County to Fletcher Marvin and Gladys Watford Phillips. Joe was retired from Reliable Services HVAC company. He has been a member of Landmark Baptist Church since 1976. He was married to the love of his life for 59 years and together they built a life they loved.

He enjoyed the simple things in life. If you knew him then you know he was an instigator….he loved to laugh and to stir the pot! And when it comes to the children, well they adored him, because if anyone said ‘NO’ to them of course Joe said ‘YES’! When it comes to fishing, he never threw a fish back unless it was the biggest one YOU caught.

He is preceded in death by his parents, a sister, Vassie Lou Brock, and two brothers, Oyette Phillips and Nimitz Phillips.
