Obituary of Bruce Phillips

Bruce Phillips, Jr., born September 28, 1949, in Rosenberg, Texas to Bruce and Louise Phillips, passed away on Friday March 11, 2022, in Houston, Texas.

Bruce was preceded in death by his father, Bruce Phillips, Sr., and both grandparents.

He is survived by his mother, Louise Phillips; daughters, Wendy and Kristy Phillips of Houston; sister, Karen Youngblood of Canyon Lake; nephew Greg Pitts of Pearland; and other family members, his former wife, Kathy Moore Phillips McGill; Ronald Corcoran; and his daughter, Ashley Corcoran of Houston; and his English bulldog and best buddy, Sam Houston.

Bruce graduated from Lamar High School where he was a football star and attended Howard Payne University where he continued to play football. Bruce loved to travel and most enjoyed his trips on the West Coast with Ron, yet loved spending time at the family farm in Brenham above all. He remained a true character, full of stories of his many adventures, which his friends and family loved.  We will truly miss him.
