Phillip Leslie Pittman

Phillip Leslie Pittman, a beloved father, brother, and friend, passed away peacefully on September 29, 2026, at the age of 89 due to natural causes. He was born on December 11, 1936, in Spruce Pine, North Carolina, to the late William & Zula Pittman, where he cultivated a lifelong appreciation for the beauty of nature.

Phillip proudly served as a self-employed landscaper, dedicating his career to creating and enhancing outdoor spaces that brought joy to others. His passion for gardening was a reflection of his commitment to cultivating beauty in all aspects of life. In addition to his landscaping career, he enjoyed deer hunting, fishing, and playing softball, activities that connected him to his love for the outdoors and provided cherished memories with family and friends.

 Phillip had a special love for visiting family in North Carolina and often found solace in the sun and surf at Myrtle Beach, where he created lasting memories along the shore. His enthusiasm for sports and the camaraderie they offered was evident throughout his life.

 He is survived by his wife, Loretta Pittman; son, Phillip Leslie Pittman Jr.; his daughter, Diana (Mark) Jones; his grandchildren, Amanda Dyer and Hannah Freeman; and his great-grandchildren, John Dyer and Aubrey Dyer. Phillip leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and cherished memories that will be deeply missed.
