Clinton Craig Jeffries, 51, of Elkton, passed away Saturday, May 8, 2010, at his home.

Clint was born June 2, 1958, in Lynchburg, Va., and was a son of Ronald Franklin and Mary Alice "Mickey" Jeffries of Pilot Mountain, N.C.

He graduated from E.C. Glass High School in 1976 and went on to attend the Nashville Auto Diesel College in 1977. After graduating, he went to work for Highway Motors as a diesel mechanic.  He had many interests, but especially enjoyed woodworking. He appreciated the mountains and the scenic environment that the Valley provides.

In addition to his parents, Clint is survived by a companion of 16 years, Lisa Woods of Elkton; one brother, John S. Jeffries and wife, Christy, of Florence, S.C.; two sisters, Wendy Kris Hunt and husband, George, of Archdale, N.C., and Jennifer Rae Welch of Maryville, Tenn.; three nephews, Courtland Welch, Blaze Welch and Jarred Jeffries, and one niece, Jillian Jeffries.

The family is planning to hold a private service at a later date.

You are in my thoughts and prayers I will always remember Clint as the gentle mountain man; best friend of one of my best friends, Mike. I will always remember the stories of your trip to the store to pick up a loaf of bread that ended with you and Mike in California. I will always remember your smile. My thoughts and prayers are with all who loved Clint. Stacey Bowers 2010-05-11 05:47:58

We wish to express our sincere sympathy to the entire family of Clint. Charles is now retired from Highway Motors, but worked with him for a number of years and always had high praise for him. We know this is a hard time for all of you, but may God be with you all and give you comfort and peace during the coming weeks and months ahead.

My heart goes out to all of the friends and family of Clint and Lisa. I have worked with Clint for the last 12 years; he was great mentor to me and to many of our coworkers. I will miss his sense of humor, his helpful nature and the fact that he sat beside me every day at the lunch table. He will be greatly missed by his "Highway Motors Family". John Miller 2010-05-12 19:46:18

Our hearts are broken.... We are just so sorry that this precious life has been extinguished. Whenever I think of Clint I smile,... In his quiet unassuming way he could light up a space, and make us laugh. His sweet Lisa, his mom and dad, as well as ALL of his immediate family, are our thoughts and prayers! xo Jan, Ron and Josh.... 2010-05-13 07:28:27

Dear Johnny, I was so saddened to read in the paper of Clint's death. My deepest sympathy to you and each member of the family. My regards to your parents. I remember your parents well and of course you and Clint, but I do not remember the girls. They must have come along later. We were together in the very late 60s, and a lot has happened since then. Johnny, I think often, and fondly, of you stopping by my house one night for a visit. I treasure that experience, and I wish that you would do it again. I would love to meet your family. I hope that your children are just like you. We need more Johnnys. Again I extend my deepest sympathy to each of you in your loss of Clint. I know that he will be greatly missed. Sincerely, Fred Fauber Fred Fauber 2010-05-14 06:20:51

To the Jeffries Now that the profound shock and sadness has passed a tiny bit I look back on all the memories I have of Clint growing up. Our families were so connected we were practically an extension of each other and while time and distance separate us the feeling remains. I extend our deepest and sincerest wishes for all of you to soon be at peace so that you to will be able to remember all of the ways Clint made us laugh and smile. Please know you are in our prayers during this most difficult time. Jeff, Carrie, Maggie and Sara Jeff Robertson and family 2010-05-16 17:55:41

To Ron and family I am very sorry for your loss, you will be in my thoughts and prayer's Duane Hoke 2010-05-17 18:49:37

To Ron and Family We have you in our thoughts and prayers. No parent should ever endure the loss of a child. While I never met Clint, it sounds as though he was loved by many! Knowing his Dad and reading the heart-felt comments above, it's not hard to imagine the kind of person he was. His sense of humor and likeability resounds in every comment. Peace be with you and your family. Eric Barham 2010-05-18 05:59:05
