Clifford Eugene Kelley, 84 of Bois D' Arc went to be with his Lord and Savior on July 15, 2022. Clifford was born in Springfield, MO on April 28, 1938, to Sammie James and Edna (Melton) Kelley. Clifford married Doris June Bass and from that union two children were born, Steven Eugene Kelley and Tonya Renee Kelley.

Clifford lived his life for his kids and all of his "adopted kids." He loved being the designated chauffeur for airport drop offs and pick-ups. He found so much joy in seeing his kids (all of them) enjoying all that life has to offer them. Where Clifford found his most joy and peace was out in nature, whether it was deer hunting, turkey hunting, or throwing a line in the water. Clifford was an avid bow hunter, winning countless 1 ^st place trophies in competitions at Ritter Springs with his son and adopted sons.

Clifford is preceded in death by his parents; son, Steven Kelley; brother and best friend, Sammie James Kelley Jr and his wife Phyllis; brother and best hunting partner and friend, Donald Kelley; and beloved uncle, Isom Kelley.

Clifford is survived by his beloved sister, Vera Kelley Trogdon; daughter, Tonya Kelley; granddaughter, Michelle Kelley Turner; grandsons, Steven Eugene Kelley Jr., Dustin Gulledge and wife Tina; great granddaughters, Taylor Turner, Tessarae Gulledge and Samarah Gulledge; great grandson, Gage Turner and Kale Turner; along with countless nieces and nephews.
