He graduated from Hirschi High School in 1966 where he was an All State Guard on the Championship Hirschi football team. After high school, Michael attended North Texas State University on a football scholarship.
Michael spent most of his life in the Dallas area, but had recently moved back to Wichita Falls to be near family and friends. He worked for the Wichita Falls Water Treatment facility.
Michael loved old cars, especially his Oldsmobile Convertible. He was the King of classic Rock music, artists and lyrics and enjoyed getting together with the boys to play poker.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Frances Phillips Eskew, and his father, Cecil Phillips.
