Calvin William Ashworth, 78, of Nederland, Texas passed away Saturday, October 9, 2021 at The Medical Center of Southeast Texas in Port Arthur, Texas.

Calvin was born November 4, 1942 in Starks, Louisiana to Gertherd Olen Ashworth and Thelma Johnson Ashworth. He graduated from Starks High School, where he met the love of his life Linda Gail (Dorman) Ashworth. They married in 1963.

Calvin moved to Vidor where he and his wife of 58 years, raised their 3 children. Calvin worked as an Operator at Oxy Chemical Plant until his retirement.

Calvin never met a stranger and loved good long talks about his family and past life events. He knew a little something about everything and loved to share his thoughts with all who would listen. Calvin loved the outdoors, hunting and fishing and loved going to his lake house at Toledo Bend to spend time with his kids and grandkids. He was a talented carpenter and could build anything. If you could show him a picture he could build it...from toy trucks to furniture to a full house remodel studs to rafters, he could do it all, and he was a one man show at that. Calvin loved boiling crawfish and made the best roast and gravy and loved feeding a great meal to all his family and friends.

We will never be able to fill the void left by Calvin, he was the sweetest, most kind hearted, gentle soul that anyone could ever meet. So tender hearted and we are so very thankful we got to call him husband, dad, papaw and friend.

Visitation for family and friends will begin at 10:00 a.m. Wednesday, October 13, 2021 at Levingston Funeral Home in Port Neches followed by the funeral service at 11:00 a.m. Burial will follow at Oak Bluff Memorial Park.

He is survived by his wife Linda Ashworth, their son Marc Anthony Ashworth and his wife Heather of Nederland, his daughter Rachel Ashworth Carona and her husband Jon of Port Neches, and his son Randy Scott Ashworth and his wife Girly of Columbia. He has four beloved grandchildren who were the apple of his eye and his greatest joy. Jacob Richards, Caleb Richards, Ashley Ashworth and Blake Ashworth along with six step grandchildren Ashton Morgan, Hailey Morgan, Keagan Stinnett, Gillian Carona, Jaci Carona and Sharlotte Mozo. Siblings: Miriam Eileen Hertzler, Wanda Faye Butler and husband James, Nina June Howard, Sharon Ruth Woodard and husband John, Lynn Jack Ashworth and Marvin Wendell Ashworth.

Uncle Calvin And Aunt Linda Brought Me When I Was 12 years old, To The Houston Astrodome, To Watch The Astros Game. I Had Never Seen Anything So Awesome. That was 50 years ago. My Uncle Calvin Never, Not Even Once Yelled at Me. He was always kind. I Loved when Aunt Linda and Uncle Calvin Would Pick me up and take me with Them. I thought I Was So Grown up at 12 but I Was Just A Responsible Little Girl, I Love And Miss Treasures of memories, Eileena🌷

Calvin was one of the finest, good-hearted men that I have ever known. We both worked at the Oxy Chem plant and under previous owners for many years, and in fact, we were on the same shift and in the same unit for some time. Calvin was a heckuva good operator, smart, able and always ready to help when any of us might need help. Calvin loved cooking for the shift. The meals he cooked were always more delicious than we could ever expect. He would not accept our reimbursement for the food costs so we would have to use clandestine measures to pay him back. Calvin was never one to complain but he was always ready to lend an ear and show empathy when appropriate. All and all Calvin's family has suffered a great loss, and the rest of us have lost a man we are all proud to have known. With a heavy heart but faith that he now dances with the angels, I say goodbye old friend and see you someday soon.

My Uncle Calvin had a kindred spirit. He was always excited to see me and wanted to visit and talk. I can remember when he first married my aunt. I lived in Starks out at Aligator Park long ago. We will miss you Calvin. Reggie King
