Clifford “Mickey” Flatt, Sr., age 87, of Breckenridge, passed away Wednesday, November 4, 2026. Per his wishes, he will be cremated and no services are planned at this time. Cremation arrangements have been entrusted to Morehart Mortuary.
Clifford Lee “Mickey” Flatt was born December 6, 1938, in Throckmorton, Texas, to parents, Minice Clifford “Min” Flatt and Kate Anderson Flatt. He and his brother, Gary, were known, as the “Huck Finns” of Throckmorton County. After high school and some college, he joined the Army National Guard during the Berlin Crisis. Mickey made his way back to Breckenridge and worked for R.E. Dye Manufacturing for over 50 years as Chief of Quality Control. Those who knew him would award him a lifetime achievement award for best husband, best dad, best granddad, best great granddad, best fisherman and hunter. He may also be given the award for catching fish out of a pond that has no fish. His family lovingly remembers him as one of very few people who received a speeding ticket for driving too slow and reading every road sign out loud on any road trip.
Mickey was preceded in death by his parents; and his first wife, Wanda Flatt.
He is survived by his wife, Cheryl Flatt of Breckenridge; one brother, Gary Flatt of Woodson; children, Kimberly DeRossett and husband Trey of Crowley, Clifford Flatt and wife Elizabeth of Magnolia, Cal Toliver of Early, and Angie Toliver of Breckenridge; grandchildren, Justin Flatt and wife Melany of Tomball, Shannon Flatt and wife Lindsey of North Richland Hills, Jacquelyn Flatt of Virginia Beach, Virginia, Savana DeRossett and Troy DeRossett and wife Tyra of Crowley, Cali Toliver of Eastland, David A. Toliver of Breckenridge, Hayden Toliver of Eastland, and Cheyanne Gilbert of Breckenridge; and five great-grandchildren.
