Mr. Cleon Gray Gammons, age 73, passed away Saturday, September 16, 2023, at the Joan and Howard Woltz Hospice Home. Mr. Gammons was born December 31, 1949, to the late Ralph and Bernice Gammons. Cleon never met a stranger, and every time you saw him, he would have a smile from ear to ear. Family was important to him, which he made known how dear they were. Mr. Gammons was known very well in the Bannertown/Shelton Town Community and abroad for owning/operating Gammons Auto Sales for several years, automobiles were his passion. Cleon is survived by his adoring wife, Linda Gammons of the home; two daughters and sons-in-law, Angela Leonard and Monty, Cindy Simmons and Chuckee; son and daughter-in-law, Kevin Gammons and Nicole; grandchildren, Kellie Leonard, Justin Leonard, Garrett Gammons, Anna Gammons, and Gunnar Gammons; one sister, and two brothers-in-law; two brothers and two sister-in laws; his very special cat “Sully”. In addition to his parents, Mr. Gammons was preceded in death by one sister, and special cat Sparky. Per the family’s request, all services will be private. The family would like to thank the staff of The Woltz Hospice Home, for their care and compassion shown during Cleon’s sickness, and to Home Instead, specifically Nickole Hawks, for her care towards our dad.
