OXFORD- Mr. Clifton Earl “Classy” Moody, 48, passed away on Friday, August 25, 2017 at his home in Oxford, MS. He was born on April 29, 1969 in Quitman County to the late Sylvester Moody, Sr., and Betty Webster Moody. Tall, charming and stylish, he was a born salesman who took enormous pride in his work. As a sales representative for PMQ Pizza Magazine, a national trade publication for the pizza restaurant industry, he earned multiple Salesperson of the Year awards. Lacking formal training, Clifton worked purely from natural talent and instinct. He took the time to listen to his clients and understand their needs and helped many vendors get established in the pizzeria industry. He had high standards in his professional relationships and constantly challenged others to meet those standards, but he was also the first to praise his colleagues for their achievements. Nothing brightened a co-worker’s day like a fist-bump from Clifton for a job well-done. Fiercely individualistic and known to his friends as “Classy,” Clifton kept his private life private, but his funny, fiery, flamboyant personality and colorful attirea”complete with dapper vest and matching shoes and fedoraa”made him a memorable figure to all who met him. He carried himself with pride and panache, lived life bravely and to the fullest, and loved with a big heart. He was unforgettable.
