Clarence “Lee” Wiggins Jr., 69, of Great Falls, died on Sept. 12, 2016. Our Dad Clarence “Lee” Wiggins Jr. was taken from the loving arms of his wife, home to glory to be with his Creator. He truly loved his Lord and Savior.
He married Connie Louise Egbert in Sept. 16, 1972 in Sand Springs, OK. From this union, they had two sons: Cache Wiggins and Coyne Wiggins, both from California. Being a true cowboy, he proudly lived by the code of the West, which he shared with Rocky Mtn Partners Art Egbert, Dr. John Harlan, Scott Payne, Marc Simpkins and Cal Hatch, great-nephew Sawyer Manual a true Montana man. Occupations the Dad had were Cowboy Deputy Sheriff, auctioneer, realtor and heavy equipment salesman for Tri-State. He always said he had great co-workers and customers, many of which became life-long friends. Dad was also an excellent musician and songwriter and loved playing music with his family.
In his last years, Dad went about completing his bucket list. Items were taking a trip to Ark.
Survivors include his wife, father Clarence Wiggins of AR, sons Cache and Coyne, and sisters Gladys (Kenneth) Leininger and Mildred Wiggins, both of AR, mother-in-law Doris who he loved and respected, and his California family Craig, Lauri, Krista and Kelly Shafer, and his dog Roscoe. Those that preceded him in death are mother Dorothy and father-in-law, and best friend, Arthur Egbert.
Thanks to the doctors and staff over at Benefis, Dad’s bucket list was extended from 3 lines to 5 pages after his heart surgery. The family would also like to thank Dad’s buddies Pete Bellmayer, Kelly and Kolten. When Dad hung up his rope, they gave his horse Buster the best home a good rope horse could have.
Also a special thank-you to extended family, who he was very proud of: Kirk, Stephanie, Kiah, Aletta, and the “gopher girls” Kayla and Tally. Thank you so much for the love and care you took of Meme and Papa. A thank you to Josh Walters. A special thank-you also goes out from the Badwater Ranch to everyone else who provided love, support and prayers.
