Tony (Little) Phillips Final Arrangements
Donation protected
It is with heavy heart that we announce the tragic loss of our dear friend Tony (Little) Phillips of Knoxville,TN. Tony was a one of a kind soul in so many different people’s lives. He played a critical role in his Father’s (Big Tony) record setting/race winning Toyota Supra “Six Pack”. He had so many friends in the racing community. The father/son duo had reached the pinnacle of their success in early November 2022 when they won the coveted World Cup Finals Championship. Tony was the man behind the keyboard and shared that victory with his team and Father. One they will never forget.
Tony was also a community leader in the greater Knoxville area. He volunteered his time selflessly for the development and coaching of dozens of young boys. His passion for football and baseball touched so many young people and will leave a lasting impression as these boys grow into young men. From Spring to Autumn you could find Tony on the fields of Powell running plays and directing games. From mid week practices to full long days on the weekends he gave all he had for the improvement of these sports programs. His passion was palpable.
Tony’s love for sport and racing could only be trumped by the love he had for his wife Savannah and their two young children (Brayden and Mila). Through the last 11 years of marriage they created so many memories as a family. One of the favorite places being their annual trip to Lake Powell where they created a lifetime of memories together.
We are calling on the strength of these communities that Tony was an integral part of to help soften the financial burden for Savannah, Brayden and Mila. The funds collected will go towards Tony’s final arrangements and helping his family lay him to rest.
Charity coupled with our passions can redirect what seems a Herculean task of closure into a focus of love and support for a shattered family. We will deeply miss the presence of Tony in our lives. He will forever live on in our hearts.
