Robert A. Phillips

Robert, 89, of Cincinnati passed away peacefully on August 23, 2025. Born on June 30,1936 in Cincinnati Ohio. Robert grew up in Cincinnati with his late parents (Andrew and Gladys Phillips) and his 4 siblings.

Robert is survived by his 3 children Pat (Barb) Phillips, Penny Phillips, Grady (Kim) Phillips. His 8 grandchildren and 18 great grandchildren.

Robert lived a full life of passion and hard work building homes in the Cincinnati Anderson area. He had a deep appreciation for the great outdoors and the thrill of the game. From a young age he found joy and peace in nature - whether casting a line or tracking wildlife through the woods. Fishing wasn't just a hobby for Robert-it was a true passion. He had an extraordinary gift for reading the water, the patience of a seasoned angler, and an instinct for knowing exactly when to set the hook. Over the years, he competed in-and won-numerous fishing tournaments, and he also had a remarkable talent for crafting his own fishing lures.

Robert wasn't just an outdoors man he also was a sports fan and athlete. As a teenager he could be found on the field, court or diamond - wherever the game was being played. Though time eventually slowed the body, it never dimmed his spirit. Robert remained an avid sports fan throughout life, rarely missing a game on TV or attending his great-grandchildren's events.

We take comfort in knowing Robert now rests in eternal peace, under an endless sky and beside the waters he held so dear. A private celebration of life is planned.
