He was an electrician by trade. He had a passion for motorcycles, Harley Davidson’s in particular. He had a lifelong love of books and was an avid reader, especially anything by Louis L’amour. His love of travel was well known. So much so that his aunt coined the nickname “itchy” for him, seeing that he couldn’t stay home for very long and was always “itching” to go. He was loved by many and will be missed by his family more than words can express.
He is survived by his wife of 57 years, Deanne (Kinchen) Phillips, his children, Malcolm Phillips Jr., (Chatrist), Todd-Michael Phillips (Randall), Mignon Phillips Hudson (Ashton), and his many grandchildren and great-grandchildren whom he adored.
He was preceded in death by his parents Emma Johnson Phillips and Edward E. Phillips; brother Coleman Duplissey, his infant daughter Kerri Anita Phillips, granddaughter Brittney Phillips Watt and his beloved Aunt and Uncle, Ora Concienne and Elinza Johnson.
