Philip Sheridan Booth Jr.

Philip Sheridan Booth, Jr., of Inez, Kentucky, went home to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on June 24, 2023. He had battled cancer for 16 years and celebrated every victory the Lord allowed while on this journey. His last days were spent in his home with love and support from his family, friends, and neighbors. Jr. was born on April 20, 1947, in Beauty, KY to Philip Sheridan and Bertha Mills Booth. In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by two sisters, Joyce Booth Ferris and Peggy Blankenship Stepp and a brother, Glen Morris Booth. Jr. has been married to Carol Spence Booth for 18 years. He and Carol were best friends that loved the Lord, loved each other, and embraced all of life’s blessings and obstacles together. In addition to his wife, Carol, he is survived by his two children, Wesley Booth of Louisa and Jennifer (Jason) Booth Hutchinson, his four grandsons, Peyton, Landon, Camdon and Jon Asher Hutchinson, of Cincinnati, OH, his stepsons, Michael Cain of Frankfort, KY, Brian Cain (deceased), and granddaughter, McKenna Cain of Louisville, KY. Jr. is also survived by his loving and supportive siblings, Don (Thelma) Booth of Beauty, Jim (Linda) Booth of Inez, Karen (Bill) Harvey of Inez, sister-in-law Joann Booth of Warfield, and brother-in-law Landon Stepp of Point Pleasant, WV; along with many nieces, nephews, extended family, faith family, and cherished neighbors. He was raised to work hard and to take pride in his work. As a young boy, he began mowing grass and then added a second job delivering newspapers on his bicycle. Jr. worked various laboring jobs until he began a long career in the coal mines and later owned and operated his own mines. After retiring, he operated a flea market and spent his last days working on his brother’s farm doing what he loved which was designing and creating proper habitats, feeding troughs, and taking care of the animals. Jr. loved his family and his Lord. He enjoyed laughing, loving, and living life with Carol, felt blessed to have Wesley and Jennifer, and always said, “I love you!” and “We need to trust in the Lord.” His four grandsons gave him great joy and he treasured every moment spent with them. He has always been extremely close with his siblings and enjoyed living life with each of them. Jr. truly lived out the two commandments found in Scripture; “…Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind,” and “…Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself” (Mathew 22:37-39). He loved and helped everyone that he could and was intentional about sharing the gospel anytime there was an opportunity. Having strong faith, he knew his life’s purpose was to bring honor and glory to God. Jr. read the Word of God daily and memorized numerous passages of Scripture, attended, and served at his local church, and was a pillar in the community. He was loved and will be missed by everyone who knew him. Visitation will be from 6:00pm – 9:00pm on Sunday, June 25, 2023, at the Callaham Funeral Home in Inez, KY.
