It is with the deepest sadness and broken hearts that we announce the
passing of Michael Gerard Phillips (Mike) on April 10, 2025, at the age of
66. Born on August 27, 1958, in Queens, New York, to Wilfred and Isabel
Phillips, Mike was raised in Miami, Florida, and passed away in Dallas,
Texas.
Mike graduated from Miami Norland Senior High School where he played
football and formed lifelong friendships. A true giver at heart, he spent
time coaching Little League in Orlando, Florida, and was known for his
kindness and willingness to lend a hand.
He cherished moments with his family, especially visiting Disney World with
his son and grandchildren. A sports enthusiast, Mike loved basketball and
football. In his youth, he enjoyed surfing, and later found fulfillment in
life on the road as a truck driver, traveling across the country.
Mike is survived by his beloved son, Alan Phillips, and daughter-in-law,
Dina Phillips; his cherished grandsons, Dorian Phillips and Xzavier
Phillips; and a host of dear friends who will miss him greatly.
A private interment will be held to honor his life and legacy.
