Clayton McKinney
1940—2004
Sadly,
we must report the passing of Texas Ranger Clayton McKinney, on August
20, 2004. This son of Pat and Vera McKinney, he was born June 4, 1940
in Marathon, Texas. Clayton grew up and was educated in that Texas city.
Ranger McKinney
spent his entire adult life in law enforcement. Before joining the Rangers,
he worked for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Division as a pilot and game
warden in the far West Texas town of Van Horn.
On September 1,
1969, McKinney became a proud member of Texas Ranger Company "E",
stationed in Sierra Blanca. He remained there until January 1977, when
he transferred to Alpine, his last station.
After retiring
from the Rangers on August 31, 1985, McKinney worked for the Midland
County Sheriff’s Office as its chief deputy. He took off his badge
for the last time in 2002.
Clayton McKinney
is survived by his wife Jean.
