Phillip Dean Middleton, 53, of Hixson, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Friday, April 20, 2018. He was a lifelong resident of the Chattanooga area and was a member of Northside Presbyterian Church. He was completely devoted to his family and taking care of them, especially his grandchildren, who were his first priority. Phil was an avid Tennessee Vols fan, loved college football and was a devoted motorsports fan. He had served the Chattanooga area for almost 20 years as a licensed funeral director and was devoted for the last two years with Wilson Funeral Homes. If you had the privilege of calling Phil your friend, you had a man that would stand beside you and be there anytime you needed him. He could do anything and would do anything for anyone in need. He was a "Jack of All Trades and a Master of None," but he always got the job done, no matter what it took. Phil was a loving husband, father, brother and pawpaw, who will be truly missed by all who knew him.
He was preceded in death by his father, Robert Middleton, Sr.
Survivors include his mother, Billie Sue Anderson Middleton; his loving wife of more than 36 years, Jennifer Middleton; son, Nathan Middleton; daughters and sons-in-law, Diana Middleton Bryson and Robert Menasco and Kristy Middleton and Donald Terrell; brothers and sisters-in-law, Robert and Robin Middleton, Michael and Jean Middleton and Larry Middleton; six grandchildren, Makayla, Hayden, Brayden, Jacob "J.J.", Savannah and Karrah; faithful friend and companion, Otis; and numerous extended family and friends.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Monday, April 23 in the Fort Oglethorpe Chapel. Burial will follow in the Hamilton Memorial Gardens. The family will receive friends after 4 p.m. on Sunday and prior to the service on Monday at the funeral home.
