Dennis Paul Phillips

He was born November 9, 1958 to the loving parents Gloria “Jinkie” Phillips and the late Patrick Phillips Sr. of Greenwell Springs.

Dennis was the middle child of 3 boys with Patrick “Rick” Phillips (wife, Patty) being the oldest and Michael Phillips (wife, Glenda) being the youngest. He shared a special friendship with each of his brothers.

Dennis was a man that knew no stranger. His friendly personality, outgoing ways, contagious smile and gentle heart made him someone you wanted to be around. He loved any opportunity to share a good joke to make someone laugh.

He followed in his father's footsteps as an electrical contractor of Pat Phillips Electric Company for more than 40 years. He worked alongside his youngest brother, Michael, and his son, best friend and side kick, Dustin. His strong work ethic started at a young age. At the age of 16, he started selling Rick's crawfish catch of the day. 45 years later Phillips Crawfish LLC is still going strong operated by his son Dustin.

He was more than a successful business man. He was an honest, reliable man that formed many friendships within the industry.

Dennis was a family man. He had been married to his Redemptorist high school sweet heart, Janet Terito Phillips for 40 years. They were blessed with three beautiful children Dustin Paul Phillips, Nicole Phillips McGraw, and Kristen Phillips Richard. He was a simple man. He found complete joy during monthly family nights gathered at the dinner table with his wife, kids, and eight grandkids. He also enjoyed family vacations, hunting and fishing, all while being surrounded by the ones he loved the most. The simplest conversation with Dennis, always brought about smiling, laughing til it hurt and unforgettable memories.

Dennis' memories live on through his wife Janet, son Dustin and his wife Brittany. They have four children Ava Kate, Dennin, Nola and Ellison. His daughter Nicole and her husband Brannon with their two sons, Branson and Brock. His youngest daughter Kristen with her husband Ben and their two sons Pearson and Connor.

As well as many loving cousins, nieces and nephews
