Calvin "Dub" William Varner

Born in Fort Worth, Dub spent many years in and around Desdemona, Texas. He proudly served his country in the US Navy during WWII. Following the service, he worked in the aviation industry. He married his high school sweetheart, Jime Marie Mitchell December 6, 1946 and she predeceased him on May 18, 2021. They were active members of Southcliff Baptist Church for over 50 years, where Dub served as a deacon. He was a Master Mason, Southside Lodge #1114 AF & AM, and Scottish Rite bodies and Shriner for over 60 years. Blessed to be able to work on many airplanes at Convair, later General Dynamics, and now Lockheed Martin, as a flight lineman electrician, Dub's favorite story was when Lockheed sent him to Paris, France for the airshow to see the F-16 fly over; with his beloved Jime by his side.

His favorite hobbies included airplanes, travel and genealogy, deep-sea fishing. He loved his family, extended family and many, many friends. He traveled to 38 states, Hawaii and loved to road-trip across the Country.

Predeceased by son Bill Varner, he is survived by his daughter Virginia Rutledge and husband Larry; brother Tommy Varner and wife Caroline; brother-in-law James Mitchell and wife Betty, grandchildren: Christopher Varner, Daniel Varner, Amy and TJ Heutzenroeder, Mitchell and Ashley Rutledge, great-grandchildren: Brendan, Tyler, Emily, and Austin, along with many cousins, nieces, nephews and friends too numerous to mention.
