Mr. Joshua Kayo Phillips unexpectedly passed away on April 7, 2022, at his Hohenwald home at the age of 39. Josh was born in Maury County to Maria Rose Phillips and the late Kayo Phillips on May 13, 1982.

Along with his mother, Joshua is survived by significant other April Calvert; his children Hayden, Zachary, and Harper Phillips; his sisters Kristin Phillips, Bessie Churchwell, Kayce Phillips, and Kayla Thompson; and his stepmom Gina Phillips.

Anyone who knew him knew he had a very sweet, giving, loving heart. He was a loving son, father, and brother. In his quiet time, he would produce beautiful pieces of work with his drawings or strum his guitar while listening to his favorite bands.  Recently he began teaching his children how to play a variety of musical instruments in hope they too would love music as much as he did.

Visitation with family and friends will be in the chapel of Adair Funeral & Cremation Services on Tuesday April 12, 2022, from 12:00-2:00 pm. Funeral Services will begin at 2:00 with burial to follow at Graves Cemetery. Brother Tim Cotham will be officiating.
