Phillip Gabe Marcum, age 49, passed away December 12, 2023 at his residence. He was born February 11, 1974 to Harlen and Pat Kirk Marcum. In addition to his parents, he is survived by his sister, Katrina (Stephen) Rudd, his nephew, Grant Rudd and niece, Erin Grace Rudd, all of Royalton, KY.  Also, Landi Davis, who was more like a sister than a cousin and was always there when needed her. He is preceded in death by his two precious dachshunds Percy and Littleman, 16 and 17 year of age, who he loved like his own children. Phillip was loved by many aunts, uncles, cousins, and many friends from here in Martin County and from Lexington. Our beloved son, brother, and uncle was such a loving, talented, and creative person. As a young man he worked for Jackie’s Flower Shop. Jackie, Linda and Linda Gail Booth helped mold Phillip in his design endeavors. After attending Morehead State University, Phillip went on to pursue his passion for interior design at “My Favorite Things” and “Norwalk Furniture” with people who he loved and who loved him. Phillip was a master florist. From these two stores, Phillip went independent and opened “Phillip Marcum, Extraordinary Interiors.” His beautiful home has been featured in “TOPS in Lexington” summer and holiday editions displaying his beautiful and decorative talents. Besides interior design, Phillip was always fundraising and hosting benefits for those less fortunate who were dear to his heart. Because of this, he was awarded the Lexington Fairness Award and inducted into the Fairness Hall of Fame. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Arbor Youth Services or Lexington Humane Society in Phillip’s name. Funeral services will be held Saturday, December 16, 2023 at 11 AM in the chapel of Crum Funeral Home. Burial will follow at Riverview Memorial Garden in Louisa, KY. Friends may visit at the funeral home on Friday from 6 PM to 9 PM.
