So many good memories we have that I will miss. You have always been there for us and for that I am grateful.

OBITUARY
ANDREW PHILLIPS
DUANE ANDREW PHILLIPS, affectionately known as DAP, was born in Chicago, Illinois on July 30, 1959 to Deacon Eddie and Lucille Phillips, who preceded him in death. His brothers, Edwin Darryl and Roderick Gary Phillips also predeceased him.
DUANE attended South Shore High School and completed several years of college. He was fascinated with the mechanisms of eighteen-wheeler trucks and decided to pursue educational training and a career as a truck driver. In 1998, DUANE began driving for the United States Postal Service until his retirement in 2019. After retiring, his enthusiasm of the vocation led to continued driving with a company that allowed him to tour the United States. He always talked about his excursions, seeing the many beautiful states, and experiencing the unique cuisines.
DUANE’S pastime and leisure interest was cooking and baking. He was an excellent Chef and Master Griller. DUANE was sought after by many, far and near to prepare meals for holidays and other occasions. He called his ribs and other meats No Sauce Barbecue, and that was so true, because of the succulence and tenderness.
DUANE was also a comedian and jokester, he was the life of any gathering and would keep the celebrations moving. He loved participating in our Family Reunions and would help in every way possible. DUANE was also a lover of many genres of music, he would tell his brother Wardell to get on the piano and ‘tickle that ivory’.
Most of all, DUANE received the Lord as his Savior and lived according to the Word of God.
On Saturday, October 26, 2024, God called DUANE home to his eternal rest.

TRIBUTES
To My Granddad,
Hey granddaddy, this recent passing of yours feels like a nightmare that I just cannot wake up from. Seeing you in so much pain really hurt and only God knew how much pain I was in to see you hurting. I am so used to seeing you active, playing cards, cooking, barbecuing, and etc.
I am trying so hard to not break down, knowing that not only have I lost one of my best friends, I lost both of them, you and Tan.
Granddaddy, I am going to miss you so much especially the times where we would do karaoke, have sleepovers in the front room and the time where we would play scrabble games and you would say that I was cheating or making up words (lol). I am also going to miss the serious talks we would have about life, talks about God, and especially our funny moments in the past. My heart is broken, but I will be strong like you taught us to be. I did not understand at first, because you were just doing fine, but only you and God knew that you were going to leave peacefully. Before you left you were able to see all of your kids in one room and having each other backs. Most importantly, you are not in pain anymore and that is all that matters. I am going to stop here, but we both know I could go on and on. I love you so much granddaddy, tell Tan, Lena, and Uncle Bernie, I said hey and I wi ll see all of you soon. Until we meet again, we love you and just for you I got my Mom, Auntie Torrie, and Uncle Dwayne, no matter what. As you always say do not beat them up, but have courage, peace, and love.
Love, Your Granddaughter Janay
Your Life was a Blessing, your Memory a Treasure. You are Loved beyond words and Missed beyond Measure. Rest Well G-Pa.

With Love,
Your Grandson, Tyree
Brother,
It is so hard to say goodbye to my last brother. Day by day I think about you, I still cannot believe that you are gone. I never got the chance to say my final goodbyes to you. I remember how happy you were when I sang Happy Birthday to you last year for your birthday. There are so many things I never had a chance to say to you. I miss you so much D. You are forever in my heart, and you will never be forgotten.
I love you my big brother. Rodney (SMOKE)
Dear Brother,
Our journey together from childhood to your last days has been a combination of love and emotions. We were Blessed with God-fearing parents that taught us to live righteously by the Word of God, with respect and concern for others. As a result, you have been an extraordinary big brother, one that always looked out for your sister in every way.
My heart is broken as the Lord has called you home. However, I will always cherish and Thank God for our many talks on the phone and visits together during your affliction ; through it all you were of sound mind and wisdom. My consolation consists of the good memories and your profound words as you went through such an exerting illness. You made it very clear that: If the Lord healed you or took you home, you were a winner. With this in mind, it gives me tranquility and peace knowing that you are resting and safe in the arms of our Lord and Savior. “If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto mysel f that where I am, there ye may be also” John 14:3 (KJV).
No words can articulate my love for you, I will never forget your love and compassion, and you will always be in my heart! Your Sister, Barbara Ann
