Clifton Ogden Walton (Cliff) (“Tha Dad”), 84, of Texarkana, TX, died Wednesday, November 10, 2021 at his home. He was born October 12, 1937 to the late Clarence “Dan” and Ina Walton in Texarkana, TX. In addition to his parents he was preceded in death by his wife, Barbara Walton; his two brothers Danny Walton (wife Mickey) and Donald Walton; granddaughter Niki Womack Cooks.

He led a very colorful and intriguing life. From his boxing days with Muhammad Ali, his modeling days, his Jack Ruby days, serving his country in the Navy to hauling everyone to GA’s and RA’s at Church, he touched so many lives. He was a devoted member of Crossview Baptist Church and loved being a part of OCC and the shoeboxes for children.
