Clinton Birdsong

Clinton Birdsong, age 63, of Cole Camp passed away Tuesday, March 11, 2025, at the Bothwell Regional Hospital in Sedalia.

It was on the 27th day of October in 1961 in Illinois when Willie and Lilia (McAdams) Birdsong welcomed their son, Clinton Edward, into their home.

Clinton was a jack of all trades, and a master of most. He had a passion for tinkering with vehicles and always had a project in the works. A hardworking individual, Clinton took pride in his work and dedication.

In his free time, he enjoyed the outdoors, whether it was fishing or hunting. He was also an exceptional cook, delighting in preparing meals for those he loved. Above all, his greatest joy came from spending time with his family.

Left to carry on his legacy is his wife of twenty-one years, Rebecca J. Mueller; his two daughters and their husbands, Samantha and Joshua Johnson of Boliver and Jessica and Lance Matthews of Bakersfield, California; three sons, John Birdsong of Versailles, Matthew Wedge of Stover, and John Pritzel of Sweet Springs; six grandchildren, Alizabeth Johnson, James Lambert, Callie Lambert, Matthew Johnson, Kalep Lambert, and Bradley Johnson; four great grandchildren, Tucker Lambert, Rowena Williamson, Aurora Lambert, and Rumor Williamson; niece, Janet Phillips; great niece, Hannah Phillips; great nephews, Owen, Hayden, Cameron, and Parker; along with other relatives and friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents and many siblings
