Texas Governor Greg Abbott released the following statement regarding Williams' passing: "Claytie Williams was a giant among Texans and will be remembered for his incredible business acumen and philanthropic acts. His impact on the Permian Basin will be lasting and his legacy will live on as a man who helped drive the American oil and gas boom--leading to our nation’s energy independence. Claytie and Modesta transformed Midland with their ingenuity, warmth, and kindness. Cecilia and I are deeply saddened by the news of his death and ask that all Texans keep Claytie and his family in their prayers.”
