He also leaves behind his maternal grandparents, Mavis and Marvin Phillips; his paternal great-grandfather, Larry Brizendine; his best friend, Trevor Fix; and a host of nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends who will deeply miss him.
Michael was known for his strong work ethic and skilled hands as a brick mason. He was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need, and his generosity and kind spirit left a lasting impression on those around him. A lover of the great outdoors, Michael enjoyed hunting, fishing, and riding four-wheelers. His infectious smile and warm heart made him unforgettable to all who knew him.

The family invites friends and loved ones to visit and share memories from 3 to 5 p.m. on Saturday, December 7, 2024, at Whitten Timberlake Chapel.
