Obituary For Bobby Mac Phillips, Jr.

Bobby Mac Phillips, Jr. born on October 26, 1955, peacefully passed into Heaven’s gates on February 3, 2022 with his sister by his side. Born and raised in Jacksonville, NC. Bobby was preceded in death by his Mama and Daddy (Bobby & Martha Phillips) and sister, Jo Ellen Phillips. He is survived by his sister Shari Benson, husband Jeff, nephews Jeffrey & Brandon, nieces Kara & Sarah, along with 9 great nephews & nieces.

Bobby had disabilities, but that didn’t stop him from having a heart for the things of God, his family and his country. By the world's standards, and often our own, many would say his life was limited, disadvantaged or unfair even. However, for those blessed to know him, that’s not how he lived. He had a smile that would light up a room and his laugh was like the best medicine. He made you feel special, loved and important. If he knew you, he always remembered you. He repeatedly showed us how to love like Jesus, taught us to love, pray how He taught us to pray and give everything to Him and never use a shortcoming or disability as an excuse. He loved Jesus, and he knew Him personally, in a way that I am sure few of us could. And because of that he has arrived in his new home in heaven, happy, healthy and whole. Thank you, Bobby, for showing us all how simple the meaning of life really is. It is all about love and Jesus…and throughout your life you showed us both…Bobby loved superheroes …little did he know, he was one in real life, changing the world with his love and smiles, one person at a time. We will miss you Bobby, and looking forward to seeing you again.

A memorial service will be held on Monday, February 7th at 6:00 pm at Blue Creek Baptist Church, 1251 Burgaw Hwy. in Jacksonville with Dr. Wes Smith officiating. Visitation will follow the service and a graveside service will be Tuesday, February 8th at 11:00 am at Onslow Memorial Park.
