Clyde Burnett Maxey, 78, passed away suddenly on April 20, 2021 in Hemphill, Texas.
Born in Galveston, Texas to Robert Valery Maxey and Signa Lee Halbert Maxey, Clyde was a lifelong resident of East Texas, growing up in Milam, Texas.
He graduated from Hemphill High School in 1960 and attended Stephen F. Austin State University until he was drafted, whereupon he served for six years as a member of the 2nd Armored Division in the US Army. Spending the majority of his adulthood in Diboll, Texas, Clyde retired from Temple Eastex after a 41 year career in sales. He served his community as an active member of Diboll First United Methodist Church for more than 50 years, a member of the Diboll Volunteer Fire Department for 17 years, and as a city alderman. Clyde was a member of the Angelina County Airport Breakfast Club (Lufkin) and the Martin's Corner Motley Crew (Milam).
Clyde was a loving and devoted husband, father, and grandfather. He found happiness when sitting in the quiet of a still morning in the woods and could often be found "just piddlin'" in his woodshop, but his greatest joy came when spending time with his family, traveling with Linda, and laughing with his grandchildren.
He is survived by the love of his life and wife of 54 years, Linda Carol Love Maxey of Houston, Texas and currently residing in Milam, Texas; daughter Tabitha and husband, Curtis Hippler of West, Texas; daughter Tracey and husband, Jim Cox of Ft. Worth, Texas; grandchildren Cullen Hippler and wife, Kay, Keaton Hippler, Kelsey Cox and Gavin Cox.
Memorial donations may be made to Diboll First United Methodist Church, St. Jude's Children's Hospital or the Wounded Warrior Project.
A man of strong Christian faith, we celebrate with him as he now sits with our Lord in his eternal home.
