Clinton Troy Gann, known to his loved ones as Clint, passed away peacefully on December 15, 2023, in Bedford, Texas, at the age of 65. He was born on September 20, 1958, in Wichita Falls, Texas, to the late W.A. Gann, Jr. and Marilyn Oden.
Clint will be lovingly remembered and deeply missed by his wife, Traci, his two sons, Grady and Greyson, and his mother, Marilyn Oden. He is also survived by his twin sister Carol Joy and Jay Conner of Morehead City, NC, and his brothers Nolan Gann, Gilbert Gann, and Joe and Lisa Gann, all of Wichita Falls. Clint leaves behind a host of beloved nieces, nephews, great nieces, great nephews, and FC Camp kids who will cherish his memory.
Clint’s educational journey began at Harrell Elementary School and continued at Hirschi High School. He leaves behind many childhood friends he still cherishes. He furthered his education at Stephen F. Austin State University, where he majored in Communications and made life-long friends. Clint had careers in insurance claims and lighting sales before he became a dad and PTA volunteer extraordinaire.
Clint loved Jesus more than anything and his boys were a close second. They inspired him to write a book about his fatherhood adventures, “More than a Hero”. Clint had a great ability to connect people to each other and to stay connected to people he met throughout his life and from many different parts of his life. Clint enjoyed music and had many fond memories of performing with Silverado and Wolf Ridge, but family singing times top them all. Clint’s warm smile, kind heart, and playful wit will be dearly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. It appears that his nephew Aaron has at least temporarily taken up his mantle in posting tri-bonds on Facebook so you don’t have to miss that.
