Obituary
Private Family Services
Clifford Biggs Coffey, 48, was born October 13, 1966 in Midwest City, Oklahoma, and passed on June 17, 2015 in Ada, Oklahoma.
Clifford loved music, taking walks, going to the Arbuckle Wilderness, trains and trucks. Some of his favorite pastimes were riding in the van, going to Braums for ice cream, having hamburgers and fries with Terry, one of his long time care-givers at McCall's Chapel School. When unable to sleep at night, he would watch sports on TV with Terry while sitting in his own chair.
Clifford left a legacy of lessons in unconditional love, tolerance, and acceptance. He pulled together families of special needs who otherwise walked alone. Clifford's occasional insights were few and far between but each one left a vivid memory in the minds and hearts of loved ones. From his one time finger paintings that are impressionistic style to sudden comments about pretty red birds flying, he gave us all insights into a brain compromised by epilepsy, cerebral palsy, profound retardation and autism.
Clifford left for Heaven with his mother and sister at his side. During his hospital stay, his brother Daniel and sister-in-law Lesley spent days visiting as well as many friends from McCall's Chapel School. He received prayers from across the nation from friends, family, and previous baby sitters. His brother John called frequently and was traveling across country as a trucker to be with him.
Clifford leaves behind his mother RBeda Biggs Coffey of McKinney, Texas; sister Darla Coffey Golden of Wylie, Texas; brothers John Alva Coffey and wife Darlene of Willard, Missouri, and Daniel W.E. Coffey and wife Lesley of Mead, Oklahoma; nephews: Robert G.W. Coffey, Terry Coffey, and Russell Golden; nieces: Madelynn and Jozelynn Coffey; as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and many friends.
Clifford was preceded in death by father Winston Ervin Coffey, grandparents Alva and Itha Coffey of Canton, Oklahoma, Clifford and Veda Biggs of Seiling, Oklahoma, and brother-in-law Robert W. Golden of Wylie, Texas.
The following is a tribute to Clifford written by his nephew Russell Golden:
Look at it this way, his mind is now free. Unfettered by a damaged brain, he can now grow and mature into an adult. And since he was so young mentally, he is innocent. Thus guaranteed entry into Heaven.
