Jack 'Clint' Sefton

Jack “Clint” Sefton, 67, of Parker passed away early Friday morning at VNA-Inpatient Hospice at Butler following an extended illness.

Born in Butler on May 4, 1948, he was son of the late John D. and Priscilla Alice Roberts Sefton.

Jack was a graduate of Karns City High School and shortly thereafter enlisted in the U.S. Army from which he was honorably discharged with rank of SP/5.

Serving two tours of duty in Vietnam, he earned the Expert Badge M-14, the Vietnam Service Medal, the Vietnam Campaign Medal with 2 O/S Bars and the NDSM.

He served with the 687th Landclearing Unit.

Jack was a member of the VFW and American Legion Posts of Parker.

He retired from Penreco (Calumet) in Karns City in 2012 with 39 years of service, much of that time as a machinist.

He loved working on his farm, raising cattle and teaching his children and grandchildren about farming and life itself.

Jack was an individual who could not pass a tractor on sale without stopping to view and question the sale price.

Loving the outdoors, he and his wife spent 40 years hunting on the beloved farm.

He was a committed husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend to many, especially those in need. He was a genuine “Mr. Fix-It.”

He was a member of the Holy Trinity Lutheran Church of Chicora.

He is survived by his wife, the former Bonnie Daubenspeck, who he married Aug. 7, 1975.

Surviving are two children, Amanda Sefton of Parker and Tyler (Nicolle) Sefton of Unionville; two grandsons, Dayne Sefton-Marcucci and Jack P. Bixler; a brother, Merle (Mary) Sefton of Butler; a sister, Marlene Sefton Michael of Twinsburg, Ohio; and a number of nieces and nephews.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by two sisters, Donna St. Cyr and Lois Meyer, and two infant brothers.
