He was born September 23, 1928 in Ben Lomond, Arkansas to Bennie Wesley and Ruby Maude Walker Spigner. CT was a graduate of Ashdown High School, and continued his education at the University of Arkansas earning a Bachelor of Science in 1956 and a Master of Administration in 1980. CT started his career as a teacher and coach at DeKalb, Texas, then at Ashdown, Arkansas, from 1956-1967. In 1967, he began working in management at various industries around Arkansas. Upon retirement, he and his wife settled back in Ashdown, Arkansas, where he served Little River County as chief deputy, and served the City of Ashdown as Ward III councilman 1987-2010. He loved sports and enjoyed for decades working as a referee in high school football games. CT was a Korean War Navy veteran, avid golfer and domino player. He often boasted that he was the oldest golfer at the Little River Country Club.

Also surviving are 7 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren, his sisters-in-law Daisy Dean Spigner and Marsha Spigner of Ashdown, along with many nieces, nephews and friends. We feel the pain of love. The grief and heartbreak and tears. We also feel the joy of love. His goofy guitar songs and sweet memories and countless amazing stories, because he could tell them like no other. We are so very comforted by knowing he is in the arms of Jesus and we will see him there in our time. Visitation will be held Sunday, July 28, 2024, 3:00-5:00 PM, at Madden Funeral Home in Ashdown, Arkansas.
