PHILLIP JOE BRAND, age 64 of the Mineral Springs Community in Clanton, passed away on February 23, 2021 at St. Vincent East Hospital in Trussville. He was born in Chilton County on April 8, 1956; the son of the late Horace Brand and the late Charlsie Faye Martin Brand.
Phillip was a kind and loving husband, father, and pawpaw. His joy came from spending time with his Alannah bug and having her follow him around while calling his name and telling him to “Come on Pawpaw, lets go!” He loved his family and strived every day to be the example he would have everyone else be.
He also enjoyed serving his God and spending time in his Bible each morning. His church, Mineral Springs Baptist Church, and his church family were especially important to him and it always gave him joy to fellowship with everyone. Phillip served as a deacon, lead usher, on the baptism committee, along with many other areas of faithful service to his church. He was a friend to all he met and truly loved them all.
Phillip is survived by his wife of 42 years, Vickie Brand of Clanton, along with: Son, Justin Brand of Clanton; Granddaughter, Alannah Brand of Clanton; and a host of other relatives and friends.
He is preceded in death by: Father, Horace Brand; Mother, Charlsie Faye Brand; and Sister, Cathy Ricketson.
