Memorial service for Clifford Conner Jr, 75 of Diboll, will be held at 11 a.m., October 30, 2021, in the Jubilee Baptist Church, located at 723 Dennis St. Diboll Tx. Mr. Conner was born on June 26, 1946, and died on Wednesday, October 20, 2021, in Diboll. Clifford Carlton Conner, Jr. age 75, passed peacefully at his family home in Diboll, Texas on October 20, 2021, after a courageous battle with lung cancer and COPD. Clifford was born June 26, 1946, in Angleton, Texas to Ora Massingill and Clifford Conner, Sr. He graduated high school in Houston but lived most of his young life in Diboll, Tx with his Aunt Sissy and Uncle Boots Harvard. Cliff liked to say, "I lived on FM 1818 when it was just a DIRT road." His stepfather, Marvin Hunts' previous military service had a huge impact on his desire to join the military. He chose the U.S. Air Force after graduation and spent one year in Vietnam. He wore his beloved Vietnam Vet hat proudly. He was a patriotic man that loved his country and the American flag. Most of his adult life was spent in Lufkin and Diboll working as a truck driver and in the mobile home business. Clifford is survived by his wife of 43 years, Bobbie Sue Conner. He was a proud father to his daughter, Christy Conner Ewings, and her husband Kenny as well as stepfather to Sondra Dorsett Galmiche and Connie, Gary, and Michael Buck. His grandchildren Taylor Rose Ewings, Conner Ewings, Braydon Dorsett, and great-granddaughter Madelynn Dorsett were considered his "biggest blessings." Clifford's cheerful attitude, jovial smile, and great storytelling will be missed by all that knew him. Family and friends are invited to attend a celebration of life gathering at 11 am at Jubilee Baptist Church in Diboll, TX. This church became a staple in Clifford's life and a perfect place to say until we meet again! In Lieu of flowers, the family requests donations are made to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund
