The funeral service will be conducted on Saturday at 2 PM at First Pentecostal Holiness Church officiated by Pastor Steve Ely. Burial will follow in Pinewood Memorial Park.

A native of Thomaston, Georgia, he was a son of the late Sally Emma Cliatt Phillips and James Carroll Phillips and a graduate of West Georgia College (now University of West Georgia). In his early years he commentated Little League baseball in Thomaston, was a drummer in a local band, and was fondly known as “Super Jock” serving as a DJ at a local radio station. He enjoyed playing travel softball and football with his childhood friends. He also began his love of ministry while in Georgia and served as a Pastor for several years.
Since 1977, he was engaged in the automotive industry in a number of capacities. He began this career early learning in the parts department, advanced later into management and eventually became a partner in a local dealership. In addition, he created the Phillips Group, an automotive marketing and social media support company. Prior to his retirement in 2010, he worked at Brown & Wood Automotive Group where he continued to work with dealership marketing and social media.

Since 1992, they made their home in Greenville where they were members of First Pentecostal Holiness Church. Junior served as Board Member, Elder, Sunday School Teacher, and Senior’s Pastor for the Senior Citizens.

Junior loved ministering to people everywhere he went. One of his most used quotes was “How are you and Jesus doing?” He had a passion for salvation and anytime he led someone to Jesus Christ, he gave his own personal Bible away and encouraged them to start reading and never miss a day for the rest of their life. His favorite Bible verse was Matthew 6:33, “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well”.

Junior cherished his family and spending time together. He was affectionately known as “Pops” by his 5 grandchildren whom he loved and adored beyond words. Junior enjoyed traveling the world, reading and studying history, and was a loyal Georgia Bulldog fan.
