Clifton spent his life rooted in faith, family, and hard work. He was a devoted member of Turkey Creek 1st Baptist Church and lived out his Christian beliefs through the way he treated others, with kindness, humility, and steady strength. A lifelong farmer, Clifton knew the value of long days, honest labor, and the satisfaction that comes from tending the land and caring for what has been entrusted to you. His life reflected the simple virtues he held dear, and those who knew him will remember him as a man who was dependable, generous, and deeply committed to the people he loved.

He also found joy in the quieter pleasures of life. Clifton loved to fish and play cards, and these interests brought him many happy moments with family and friends. Whether he was sharing a story, enjoying time outdoors, or sitting around a table with loved ones, he carried with him a warm presence and a good sense of humor. His wisdom was evident in the way he listened, his spirit was evident in the way he lived, and his selflessness was evident in the way he cared for others without seeking recognition.

Clifton was preceded in death by his spouse, Betty Carol Hinson, his son, Terry Hinson, and his brother, Randall Hinson. Though their absence was felt deeply, the love they shared remains a lasting part of the family's story. He is survived by his children, Gary Hinson and his wife Mary, Cindy Griffin and her husband Bobby, and Karen Lawson and her husband Greg; and his sister, Zelda Dixon and her husband Dale.
