Clint Alvin Duckworth
Obituary
Heaven got another angel: Clint "Mr. D" Duckworth passed away surrounded by his loving family on Jan. 24, 2022. Clint was born on Nov. 3, 1941 in Salinas, Calif., to Gladys and Milford Duckworth. Clint had eight siblings. Clint attended San Lucas Elementary and Middle School, and then King City High School.
In his younger years, he loved playing music with his dad, great uncles, brothers and sons; and teaching his granddaughter Kimmie the guitar. He and his brother Hank were in a band called the Country Four; and later on in life, Clint, his brothers Hank and Leonard, and son Joe, would play music at our family reunions and special occasions.
In 1960, Clint joined the United States Army and was in the 556th Transportation Company, Med. Trk (Petro) and in 1963, he was honorably discharged from the Army as a SP4-E4. Clint then worked as a truck driver for many years; then he went to work doing his favorite job as a Heavy Equipment Operator. His last employer was Ed Porter Earthmoving and he worked there from 1992 until retiring in 2017.
He loved family history and being the family historian, he kept records dating back to the 1700s; but most important, he loved spending time with his family and telling them of stories about the family history, and the many roads and fire breaks that he did as a heavy equipment operator.
Clint is survived by his children, Joe (Barbara), Elizabeth (Luis), and William (Stephanie); grandchildren, Clint, Kayla (Kyle), Kira, Kimberly, and Jared; great-grandchildren, Braylon, Kayden, Leia, and Jameson; brother, Hank (Irene); in-laws, Billy Press, and Irene Duckworth; his "adopted daughter" Dolores Morales; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
He is preceded in death by his wife, Patricia Duckworth; parents, Milford and Gladys; brothers, Cecil, Robert, Leonard, and Edward; sisters, Cleo, Lois and Jerry.
Special thanks to Clint's doctor's, Dr. Robert Tongson, and Dr Stella Asuquo; his nurses, Barbara, Patty, Jo, Vickie, Claudette, and Araceli; and the great nurses at CHOMP. The care and love you showed Clint were beyond a blessing.
