Fredrick O.“Freddie” Phillips, age 65, of Oliver Springs, Tennessee, passed away peacefully on May 27, 2026. Freddie was known for his joyful spirit, wonderful laugh, kind heart, and the smile he could bring to those around him. He loved dressing up and always enjoyed making people laugh. Freddie had a passion for old cars, music, and collecting keys. He also loved watching “Cops,” building shows, and television preaching programs.

Freddie was preceded in death by his parents, Oves and Delsie Phillips; and brothers, Odie Oliver Phillips and Bobby Gene Phillips.

He is survived by his loving sister, Cleta Phillips “Kiki”; nieces, Barbara Webb and Carlene Wilson; great-nieces, Holly, Casey, and Brittney; along with a host of other family members and friends who loved him dearly.

The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the staff of Emory Valley Center for the wonderful love, kindness, and care shown to Freddie throughout the years. A special thank you to his dear friend, Angel, for always making Freddie’s favorite chicken and dumplings, and to all his “girlfriends,” “wives,” and “mommy” at Emory Valley Center who brought so much joy and laughter to his life.

Freddie may have had special needs, but his spirit was big. His mother, Delsie, took care of him for 40 years and Emory Valley for 25 years.

The family will receive friends on Tuesday, June 2, 2026, from 4:00 PM until 7:00 PM at Sharp Funeral Home.
