Roger Lee Phillips, 83 of Floyd, met his Savior on Monday, February 4, 2025. He is preceded in death by his parents, John Brady and Odell Phillips; siblings, Chester Phillips (Edith), Claburn Phillips, Harold Phillips, Paul Phillips, Jo Ann Kingrea (Albert), Willie Phillips, Geneva Smith, Curtis Phillips and Elwood Phillips; brother-in-law, Dorsie Montgomery; sisters-in-law, Annie Phillips, Sandy Phillips, Noble Phillips and Bea Ann Phillips.
He is survived by the loving mother of his children, Modene Quesenberry; daughters, Andrea Phillips and Karen Harris; granddaughter, Shawna Conner (Dustin); three great-grandchildren he adored, Emberlee, Benji and John-Brady Conner; siblings, Bobby Phillips (Sylvia), Clarence Phillips, Jackie Phillips (Alice), Reba Montgomery, Ronald Phillips and Timmy Phillips (Sandra); sister-in-law, Oleda Phillips; and brother-in-law, Ronald Smith.
On a Saturday night you would find him enjoying music at Wildwood Farm. He was most proud of his granddaughter and great-grandchildren, who he would proudly show pictures of everywhere he went. When Roger was too young to even drive, he drove a dump truck in the coal mines of West Virginia with his dad and brothers. He went to work at Donnkenny as the manager of the cutting room where he worked for 35 years. He started working at Legacy Linens in Floyd in 2001 where he was still employed.
Roger was always a hard worker, he enjoyed yard work and was never afraid of manual labor. Just this fall and winter, you could find him outside mowing, shoveling, raking and carrying leaves. Not too long ago he was seen at the rock quarry shoveling rocks into his pickup truck to work on his driveway. He was a devoted member of Graysontown New Life Ministries with Pastor Justin Quesenberry. After church he regularly drove by to visit his great-grandchildren.
