Philip Jordan Durland

Philip Jordan Durland, 64, of Tulsa, Oklahoma passed away on Thursday, January 12, 2023. He was born on June 28, 1958 to Glenn Jordan Durland and Phyllis Charlene (Scroggins) Durland in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. Philip graduated from Muskogee High School with the class of 1976. He enjoyed spending time with his family most in life. Philip adored his mother and lived just down the street from her for many years while married to the love of his life, Tami Durland. After her passing, spending time with family was something he felt even more grateful for. He was a loving caring grandfather and grandchildren absolutely loved and cherished him. Going on outings with his grandchildren and daughter became one of his favorite things to do in life during his most recent years. Philip was sensitive and sweet sometimes but really was a manly man that was talented and fixing probably anything. He enjoyed inventing, creating and building things with his hands. His life wouldn’t have been the same without the arrival of his son, Christopher Durland and they loved spending time together sharing their common interest. Building strong, firm, loving friendships and connections with his children, and grandchildren is what he will always be known and cherished for in the hearts of his family forever. He was preceded in death by his parents, Glenn and Phyllis Durland; and his loving wife Tami S. Durland. Philip is survived by his daughter Carla D. Durland of Muskogee, OK; son, Christopher J. Durland of Muskogee, OK; sisters, Susan Julian and husband Ron of Tulsa, OK and Kathy Durland of Muskogee, OK; grandchildren, Trenton J. Durland of Muskogee, OK, and Treann S. Johnson of Hulbert, OK; aunt, Billie M Scroggins of Keys, OK; niece, Erin Garrison Penera of Tulsa, OK; great-nephew, Isaiah and Shaniah Jobe of Bernice, OK; two great-great-nephews and two great-great-nieces; the blessing of strong loving in-law family living in Missouri. Philip spent his last 5 plus years, at Mapplewood Nursing Home in Tulsa, after a series of health issues, and now he is at peace. A celebration of Philip’s life will be 2PM, Thursday, January 19, 2023 at Cornerstone Funeral Home Chapel with Pastor Daniel Reid officiating. Interment will follow at Tahlequah City Cemetery with Gary Durland, Brian Durland, Rob Durland, Craig Scroggins, Ron Allen and Ron Julian serving as honorary pallbearers.
