Philip Ernest Littlejohn Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Memorial services for Philip Ernest Littlejohn, 52, of Glencoe will be Monday, December 16, 2013 at 11 am at Hatcher Avenue Baptist Church in Jacksonville. The family will receive friends Monday one hour prior to services. Philip was born at Wilmington Community Hospital in Wilmington, California to Arvel Benton Littlejohn and Janet Mary Siefker on November 12th, 1961. Philip was the oldest of three and a loving devoted brother to his sisters Kim and Susie. Philip lived in California until he turned sixteen then moved to Georgia where he learned the basic skills of carpentry while working with his father, Arvel. He built his own business in Alabama and became a well-respected finish carpenter known for his honesty and integrity. His skills were unparalleled and it gave him immense pride to have his half-brother, Caleb, at his side. Many said he was the best in the area but Philip never thought so. He was a truly humble man who never realized how talented or valuable he was. Philip was an adoring uncle to Nathan, Kara, John Dillon and Balin. He never married or had children so he showered them with his paternal love. He never wasted an opportunity to tell them how much he cared for them or how proud he was of them. Philip loved his family unconditionally and when you were with him you felt it. He was a great listener and advisor. He enjoyed spending time with family and friends boating, fishing, bowling, or just having a Bar-B-Q on is back porch with a football game on the TV and his beloved dogs, Fido, Susie, and Wolfie at his side. He is predeceased by his sister Susie Littlejohn, survived by his mother Janet Littlejohn, father Arvel Littlejohn (Linda), sister Kim Meyer (Dale), half-brother Caleb Littlejohn (Buffy), half-sisters Naomi Bailey (Scott), Abigail Sheriff (Scott), nephews and nieces: Nathan & Kara Meyer, John Dillon & Balin Littlejohn, Annabelle, Sam, & Luke Bailey. His smile, sense of humor and laugh will be missed.
