Cleatus was a veteran of the U.S. Army and served during WWII. As a young man he worked in the oil fields including 7 years in Argentina where he became fluent in Spanish.
He always wanted to return to McCurtain County to ranch and for the last 45 years he spent most of his time working his ranch in the Marshall Hill Community. Cleatus loved working with his grandchildren putting up hay and also spending time with close friends who shared his enthusiasm for the cattle business.
He mostly worked but he did enjoy fishing and playing golf a sport he picked up only a few years ago. Cleatus was a member of the Lynn Lane Church of Christ.
He was preceded in death by his father, Thearon Pollard Sr.; mother, Clarice Parker; step-father, Harvey Parker; granddaughter, Kaci Pollard; brothers, Thearon Pollard Jr. and Billy Carroll Parker; and a grandson-in-law, Chad Dawson.
