Marcus Calvin Phillips, Jr. was born on February 28, 1954 and lived most of his life with his family in Birmingham, AL until his passing on January 21, 2021. Marc is survived by his three adult daughters who he absolutely adored: Whitney, Erin, and Lindsay. Marc married in October 2019 and is also survived by his wonderful wife, Sarah, and two step-children.
Marc was a musician learning to play the piano as a child and becoming part of a band, Hotel, right out of high school. He was part of several other bands through the years including: Split the Dark, Groove Daddy, and Soul Commission.
Marc's love for the Lord Jesus Christ began to grow and mature in the 90's and because of that love, Marc became part of the worship teams of some of the local churces.
In 2004, Marc was diagnosed with throat cancer. Throughout Marc's battle with cancer and treatments, the Lord healed him and radically changed his life. Marc wrote a song called “Pouring It Out On Me.” This song is believed to be the best song Marc has ever written and his passion for the Lord can be found in the lyrics.
