Phillip Jewel Wilcox Jr. "Lil Man" age 32, passed away at Shelby Baptist Hospital. He went to Calera High School and was an exceptionally knowledgeable automotive parts specialist. Phillip spent the majority of his career as an assistant manager of O'Reilly's Auto Parts, but most recently found purpose and enjoyment as a service advisor for Long Lewis Ford Quick Lane. He loved anything automotive, playing video games with his friends, and spending quality time with his wife, parents, and loved ones as much as possible. Anyone who knew his personality knew how much he loved some good dark humor, spending time with and traveling with his wife. He may have looked intimidating, but he was a gentle loving giant.
Phillip is preceded in death by his grandparents, Horace and Ruby Carden, Jewel Cates- Henderson and John Cates, and his beloved fur child Beaux and an angel baby.
He is survived by his loving wife Brook Wilcox of Calera; parents, Tiger and Teresa Wilcox; sister Tiffany Wilcox; five-year-old nephew Brayden and three-year-old niece Breanna; father-in-law and mother-in-law Brandon and Melissa Wray of Oklahoma; and sister-in-law Ella Wray of Oklahoma.
Visitations will be at Charter Funeral Home Chapel held on Thursday, February 20, 2025 and Friday, February 21, 2025 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. with a service to follow on Friday February 21, 2025 at 7 p.m. In Lieu of flowers donate to his wife Brook Wilcox of Calera, via Regions Bank to help pay for his services and medical bills. Flowers and cards can be sent to Charter Funeral Home or Regions Bank in Montevallo.
