It's such a sad thing to have to say goodbye to a friend. Tater was a lifelong friend of the family. He will be missed by everyone who knew him.
May God comfort you Becky and Zack and Denmon. It's just so sad. My heart goes out to you all.

Phillip "Tater"..... friend who always had open arms and open heart in times of need and shelter. His home was his friends' home. Phillip had a heart of gold and freely gave his love to all of his little buddies. Thank you, Tater, for loving my grandson. You had so much love to spread around and spread it, you did. Zac, you are in my heart and prayers, as are all family members. Please know that your dad will be sorely missed and "remembered" with smiles, love, and the knowledge we will see him again. May God bless and keep you. Remember the good times. We Branton's and Bailey's have lost a most unique friend. RIP, Tater.
