Phillip Pounds

Phillip Allen Pounds, age 60, passed away on April 11, 2024. He was born to Jane and George Pounds in Spartanburg, South Carolina on September 26th, 1963. He is survived by his father George, daughters Lauren, Kristen, Megan, and Jessie Pounds, his granddaughter Avery Klemons, his brother Steve Pounds, and sister-in-law Karen Pounds. Phillip’s mother, having passed before him, surely welcomed him with open arms.

Phillip took great pride in being a father. He was a calm and steady source of support for his girls, whether it was cheering from the sidelines of their childhood soccer games, tinkering under the hood of a car, or proudly recounting their adult accomplishments to anyone who would lend an ear.

Phillip’s gentle spirit and affection for animals and the outdoors were apparent to all who crossed his path. He was always ready to offer a kind word and a gentle touch to any creature in need, and was often found sneaking the outdoor cats into the house or cuddling his beloved dog Bella. He found great joy in camping trips with his family, where countless memories were made around crackling campfires and tubing down rivers.

As we say goodbye to Phillip, let us remember the legacy of kindness and love that he leaves behind. His spirit will live on in the laughter of his family, the memories shared around the campfire, and the lessons learned from a father who always gave his best for his daughters.

A graveside service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA.org).
