Clinton McKeever
Graveside services are 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 7, at Elmwood Cemetery, Morning Sun.
HOUSTON, Texas, - Clinton Alfred McKeever, 75, of Rio Villa, Houston, died Saturday, July 24, 2004, at Rio Villa.
Graveside services are 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 7, at Elmwood Cemetery, Morning Sun, with military rites conducted by the Wapello Veterans of Foreign Wars Glenn Allen Post 5166. The Dudgeon-McCulley Funeral Home, Wapello, is handling the local arrangements.
Mr. McKeever was born Oct. 1, 1928, in Morning Sun, the son of Harry and Daisy Nelson McKeever. He married Dorothy Mae Johnson of Grandview June 29, 1950.
He was raised in Morning Sun, a very small rural town in Iowa. After graduating from high school, he began his lifelong passion as a carpenter.
In 1952, he entered the U.S. Army, where like his brothers, Mitch (USN) and Merlin (USMC), he proudly served his country, and was stationed in Germany.
After the Korean Conflict ended, he came home to Iowa and started his own business, building houses.
In 1955, his and his wife welcomed their first of two children, Viki Michelle. In 1958, Ricky Clint was born.
He left his business to join Morton Buildings in 1966. The McKeever family began their future with Morton Buildings, moving from Iowa to Illinois, on to Ohio, Tennessee, back to Iowa, and then Kansas. While with Morton, he worked in design, research, innovation, implementation, production and training.
In 1991, he retired for a second time. He and his wife packed for the last time, and moved to Texas. In April 1992, Bradley, his namesake, pride, and joy was born. Becoming a Grandpa, didn't mean slowing down or sitting on the deck and watching the river flow by. He would go on to work on virtually every house in Rio Villa, building some from the ground up. When he wasn't pouring foundations, framing, tape and floating sheetrock, shingling, painting, detailing, building cabinets, decks and stairs, installing doors and windows or maybe just fixin' what was needed, he enjoyed watching sports on television, reading, listening to Rush (while working). He could banter with the best about current events.
He will be remembered as a complex man with simple straight forth values. He loved and enjoyed family, work, relationships, the USA and his life to the last hour of July 24, 2004. He built much that will hold together, not all connected with hammer and nails.
Rick Clint McKeever, his son, has been waiting for a heavenly reunion since 1977. The boys are back together.
Survivors include his wife; a daughter, Viki McKeever Collier of Rio Villa of Houston; and a grandson, Bradley Clint Collier.
He was preceded in death by a son, Rick; his parents; two brothers, Merlin and Mitchel; and two sisters, Elnora and Arsema.
