Robert James Phillips March 30, 1972 - January 27, 2026

Robert Phillips was a loving husband, brother, father, grandfather, uncle and friend whose life was defined by creativity, curiosity, and deep devotion to his family.

Robert had a true passion for drawing and creating, and he took great pride in his work and career. He loved tinkering with tools, taking things apart simply to understand how they worked, and finding joy in building and fixing. Music was another source of happiness for him-he especially enjoyed listening to his favorite bands, including Shinedown, Five Finger Death Punch, and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Above all else, family meant everything to Robert. He was incredibly proud to be a part of his family’s lives and cherished every moment spent with them. His love, presence, and quiet strength will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Robert is survived by his loving wife, Mary; his brother, Larry (and sister-in-law Jenn); his daughters Arieanna, Mellissa (Tyler), Cheyenne (Rudy), Mollie (Glen), and Brooke (Matt); and his eleven beloved grandchildren: Jayden, Daniel, Olivia, Blayne, Hayden, Olive, Abigail, Logan, Athena, Autumn, and Matthew. He is also survived by his grandmother, Mary Phillips.

He was preceded in death by his father, James, his mother, Bobbie, his mother-in-law, Donna, his uncle, Dewey and uncle, Larry.

Robert’s legacy lives on through the love he gave, the creativity he shared, and the family he held so close to his heart.

A Celebration of Robert’s life will be held at Allen Mortuary on Saturday, February 21, 2026, at 4:00pm.
