Michael Phillips Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Dahl Funeral Chapel - Billings on Mar. 30, 2026.
Michael Dean Phillips, 69, of Billings, Montana, went home to Jesus on March 21, 2026, surrounded by family and friends.

Mike was born on December 5, 1956, in Billings to Marjorie and Don Phillips. He was the oldest of four siblings and carried that role with quiet strength throughout his life. Mike and his wife, Carol, shared 49 years of marriage, building a life centered on family, hard work, and faith.

He is survived by his wife, Carol; his two children and their spouses; seven grandsons; many extended family members; and his two loyal dogs.

In 2022, our family was given precious extra years with Mike thanks to an anonymous kidney donor. In his memory, we ask you to consider becoming an organ donor. A memorial service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, April 2, 2026, at Dahl Funeral Chapel, 10 Yellowstone Avenue, Billings, Montana 59101. Additional information can be found at dahlfuneralchapel.com.

Our family sincerely thanks the Intermountain Health ICU and Comfort Care teams for the compassionate care they gave Mike in his final days.
