Jeff graduated in the first graduating class at Grant High and held several occupations before becoming an entrepreneur. It was his dream to cultivate a place where everyone could share ideas and experiences, and that dream eventually became a reality.
Jeff played a major role in revitalizing downtown Alexandria. In particular, he owned and operated the beloved coffeehouse, Tamp & Grind. Through this establishment, Jeff provided a welcoming haven for all. Ultimately, Jeff loved people and would go out of his way to make them happy. He was a humble man, never looking for accolades and always helping anonymously behind the scenes.
Jeff loved the outdoors, cycling, music, and heavy guitar. He was friendly, protective, giving, insightful, and had a unique sense of humor. He could make any stranger feel at ease; he was truly a beautiful soul.
He is survived by his wife Amanda Phillips; daughter Kaci Nugent (Michael); father Paul Phillips; two brothers: Darrin Phillips (Sherry), and Bruce Phillips (Karen); sister Cynthia Phillips Thorne (Shelly); grandson Alexander Nugent; niece Alayna; and nephews: Andrew, Colton, Connor, Dylan, Kevin, Matthew, and Oren.
He is also survived by his former wife Karen Jameson and her husband, Marvin; and many friends both personal and professional.
He is preceded in death by his mother Kathryn Phillips.
