Clifton Ray Longley was born December 20, 1941 to Kenneth and Zina (Zornes) Longley at his grandparents home in Spearman, TX.  He passed away at his home in Vici, OK. on August 12, 2023 at the age of 81 years, 7 months and 23 days.  Cliff grew up in the Spearman community and his school years were spent in the Spearman school system.  In October of 1964 he met the love of his life, Twila Arlene Blumer, in the drugstore in Vici, OK. They were married in Seiling, OK. at the Assembly of God Church on February 3, 1965.  Three boys were born to their union, Tracy Ray on December 13, 1965, Trevor Lee on November 20, 1968 and Trampas Gene on May 21, 1971.  In 1978 the family moved to Vici, OK. where Cliff helped his Dad on the Zornes farm and also worked for Dewey County.  In 1980 he purchased 20 acres of land north of Vici which became the family's home.

Cliff was a dedicated worker, spending twenty years of employment with H & H Water Well Service running an irrigation well repair truck.  He drove 18 wheelers and operated heavy equipment building oilfield locations.  The last few years of his working career he drove a concrete truck for Leroy's Ready Mix and also for Woodward Concrete. His expertise and knowledge of the concrete business made him a favorite delivery man.

Cliff enjoyed going Elk hunting in Colorado with his cousins, the Bailey boys and he spent his retirement fishing, camping and raising a few cattle.

Cliff gave his life to the Lord at an early age in the Union Church in Spearman, TX.  He renewed his vows to God later in life with his wife Twila.  He was ready to go home.
