Clifford “Jack” Marion Strutton went home to the Lord’s loving arms on March 27, 2025, with his family by his side.
Jack was born on November 22, 1931, in Spray, NC, the eighth and youngest child of W.B. and Della Strutton. He was kind and caring, but a strong man of deep faith with his life centering on God, family, friends and his community. El Bethel Church was a life-long foundation for him and his beloved wife Becky. Jack could always be counted upon for unlocking the church, picking up the daily mail and preparing communion for the past 40+ years along with happily singing in the choir. Later in life, a highlight was playing Rook at the Eden Senior Center. He claims the champion checker player position with many memorable games with his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Jack attended Elon College and had a long career in the trucking industry in various positions from North Carolina to Pennsylvania and Ohio to New York City.
The late Becky Hoover Strutton was Jack’s beloved wife with a love story that began when they met on a school bus and grew stronger each of their 67-year marriage.
In addition to his parents, Jack was predeceased by his siblings, Viola, Ruth, Qucell, Melvin, Ray and Christine and is survived by Marie Priddy.
Jack is survived by his two children, daughter, Delle Strutton Moyer and husband Mike of Danville, PA and David Strutton and wife T.J. of Denton, TX. He was a loving grandfather to four grandchildren, Michael Moyer (Elaine) of NC, Jaime Moyer Searfoss (Scott) and Robert Moyer (Kelsey) of PA, Ariodne Strutton Covacevich (Josh) of Mississippi and their families, including Trey, Garrett, Jack, Carter, Ben, Sierra and Emma.
Memorial contributions may be directed to El Bethel Presbyterian Church, 2515 Price Road, Eden, NC 27288.
