David "Scott" Phillips of Cumming, age 52, passed away peacefully at his home on January 21, 2013. Scott was born on November 23, 1960 in Kingsport, TN.

Phillips; siblings, Eddie Phillips, Jeff (Deborah) Phillips, and Leigh Ann Phillips (David) Hunt; niece Jessie (Josh) Morgan; nephews, Scout Phillips, Sam Phillips, David Aaron Hunt, and Avery Hunt. Scott became the proud "Papaw" of Jayce Funsten in 2011, which brought him great joy and pleasure. Scott was a faithful and true friend to many, offering support whenever called upon. He was a carpenter by trade, but his passions included wood carving, painting, spiritual study, and time spent with his wife, daughter, grandson, mother, and other family and friends. Scott was a spiritual being and loved his God. A favorite saying of his was, "Hoka Hey" which means, "To live life in such a way that one has done all that one should upon one's last day. - So it is indeed a good day to die."
