Phillip Dale St. Clair, 56, of Oklahoma City, OK, passed away at his home and was found on September 13, 2026. Phillip had been diagnosed with lupus approximately 25 years ago and dealt with lupus and other health issues throughout his life. Phillip was born in Midwest City, OK, on April 15, 1970, to Walter Dale St. Clair and Carolyn Faye St. Clair. He grew up in Midwest City and attended Carl Albert High School.

Phillip worked a variety of odd jobs throughout his life, including construction and automotive detailing. For a time, he owned his own fiber-optic lineman business in Conyers, GA, something he was proud of accomplishing. He was good with his hands and especially enjoyed working on cars.

Some of the fondest memories of Phillip go back to his younger years, when he and his brothers and sister would ride dirt bikes around the pasture and trails at the family home. They also had a golf cart, and Phillip figured out how to bypass the speed governor to make it go much faster. Phillip always had a love for fast dirt bikes, fast golf carts, and fast vehicles, and finding a way to make the golf cart go faster was just like him.

Phillip was quiet, but he had a fun and ornery personality. He loved teasing the people he cared about. When he was with family, telling stories and joking with each other, he had a deep belly laugh that was contagious. Those times of laughing together are memories his family will carry with them.

Phillip also had a creative side. When he was young, he enjoyed drawing pictures for his family. One of his most memorable drawings was a colorful picture he made for his granny. She loved it, and it remains a reminder of the thoughtful and creative boy he was.

He had a kind and generous heart, especially toward those he loved. Phillip paid attention to the things people liked and often went out of his way to do something special for them. Once, when a friend needed a car, he spent hours cleaning and detailing one of his cars so it would look great because he planned to give it to her. When one of his nieces was three years old, Phillip gave her a little teddy bear for Christmas. Nearly 30 years later, she still has that teddy bear. He did the same thing with another one of his nieces, and she still has her teddy bear as well. On another occasion, he noticed his mother looking online at items he thought she was interested in collecting. Without telling her, Phillip went online, purchased some of them, and surprised her with them. These were some of the ways Phillip showed his love—not always with words, but by doing something thoughtful for the people who mattered to him.

As a young adult, Phillip gave his life to Christ and was baptized.

Phillip was closer to his parents, brothers, and sister earlier in his life. As he grew older, he became more of a loner, and his contact with his family became less frequent. Life sometimes takes families in different directions, but that did not change the fact that Phillip was our son, our brother, our uncle, and nephew. We continued to love him, even when we weren't as close as we had once been.

For those who knew Phillip when he was young, there are memories of a boy and young man who loved to tease his family, loved drawing, loved working on cars, and could fill a room with his deep, contagious laugh. Those memories remain, along with the many little things he did for the people he loved.

Phillip is survived by his mother, Carolyn Faye St. Clair, of Oklahoma City, OK; his brothers, Brad (Leann) St. Clair and Glen (Niki) St. Clair; his sister, Rebecca (Tim) Timmons; as well as aunts, numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.

He was preceded in death by his father, Walter Dale St. Clair.

A memorial service will be held for the immediate family.

"He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.” Rev. 21:4
