Mr. Clinton Curtis Garrett passed away peacefully of natural causes on October 19, 2025, at the age of 96, in Corsicana, Texas. Born on August 29, 1929, in the small town of Eureka, Texas, Clinton was a man whose life was marked by dedication, intelligence, and a spirit of adventure.
Clinton proudly served his country as a member of the United States Army, a period of his life that instilled in him a sense of discipline and honor that he carried throughout his days. After his military service, he returned to his roots in Texas and channeled his analytical mind into the realm of business. For over three decades, Clinton owned and operated his own abstract company, Wadell, where his intelligence and attention to detail were the cornerstones of his professional success.
Clinton's love for the outdoors was evident to all who knew him. An expert fisherman, he found solace and joy in the quiet moments by the water, a pastime that he often shared with his beloved family. His adventurous spirit was not only found in his outdoor pursuits but also in his approach to life, always ready to explore new horizons and embrace the beauty of the world around him.
Family was the cornerstone of Clinton's world. He was preceded in death by his loving wife, Nancy Garrett, with whom he shared a lifetime of memories. He is survived by his sons, Gary Garrett and his wife Debbie, and Curtis Garrett; his grandson, Chris Garrett; granddaughter-in-law, Daphne Garrett; and his great-grandsons, Cade and Talen Garrett, who brought him immeasurable joy and pride. Clinton's legacy also lives on through his sister, Sharon Garrett Brown, and he is fondly remembered by his deceased parents and several siblings who passed before him.
Clinton will be remembered as a man of great intelligence, someone who approached life with an analytical mind and a thoughtful heart. His adventurous spirit and love for his family will be the stories that are passed down through generations, inspiring all who were fortunate enough to have known him.
As we bid farewell to Mr. Clinton Curtis Garrett, we celebrate a life well-lived, a journey marked by love, service, and the pursuit of knowledge. His memory will continue to be a beacon of light for his family and all who were graced by his presence. Clinton's life was a testament to the enduring power of faith, the importance of family, and the joy of a life embraced with an adventurous heart.
