Hugh R. Clubb, Sr.
Hugh Roland Clubb was born in Beaumont, Texas, on January 23, 1938, and grew up in a home that was built in 1864 with no electricity, no neighbors and no money. He was one of 7 children born to William “Bill” Clubb and Mossie Slocum Clubb.
Hugh attended Voth Rosedale Elementary, James Bowie Junior High and French High School. As a young man, he bailed hay, worked cows and built board roads in oil fields by day and loaded ships by night.
Hugh married Norma Annette Sturrock in May of 1958 and they had 5 children (Nancy, RaNel, Roland, Shelley and Melinda). He rode bulls and bucking horses for money and was the 1957 Texas State High School Bareback Bronc Riding Champion. Later, Hugh and his son, H. Roland Clubb, were inducted into the Texas High School Rodeo Hall of Fame in 1980, as the first father and son to win a State Championship.
He went to work for the City of Beaumont appraising property while attending Lamar. Soon afterward, he founded Associated Real Estate, specializing in rural property.
Over the years, Hugh was involved in several real estate partnerships, including PICA Investment Ventures with longtime friends and partners Jim Austin, Dr. Reggie Iles and Paul Pigue, which began in 1972 and has continued for 50 plus years.
Hugh was fortunate to have lived a full and adventurous life with colorful family and friends. He loved reliving the many wonderful memories they created and enjoyed sharing those with everyone.
He was a kind and generous man, with a soft spot for people and animals in need, and he never hesitated to help even during those times when he had so little to share.
He was a soft-spoken man who loomed large in the lives of those who loved him.
Survivors include his children, Nancy Clubb Yohe and her husband, Harry, of Manchester, Missouri; RaNel Clubb of Beaumont; H. Roland Clubb, Jr. and his wife, Shelly, of Conifer, Colorado; Shelley Clubb Jones and her husband, Bryant, of Beaumont; and Melinda Clubb Walker and her husband, Glynn, of Port Neches; Norma Clubb, wife of 30 years and lifelong friend; grandchildren, Travis Box and his wife, Angie; Mallory Box and her wife, Beth; Haley Hartel; Hannah Hartel; Jake Hartel; Lorna Clubb; Anna Clubb; Reagan Williams and her husband, TJ; Rachael Walker; and Ky Walker and his wife, Allie; great-grandchildren, Nat, Jolene, Springer, Priya, Navi, Riley, Drue, Ridge, and Briella; siblings, Billy Clubb, Jr., Marvin Clubb, and Ira Clubb, Sr.; numerous nieces, nephews, loved ones, and extended family members; and lifelong friends, Larry Elkins and Roy Beard.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Bill and Mossie Clubb and siblings, Birdie McNeely, John Clubb, and Sidney Clubb.
The family would like to extend a special thanks to his loving care givers who we consider family, Michelle Hollier, Mureline Hawthorne, and Keisha Newsome, over the past many years.

My deepest condolences to all the Clubb family. There has been a very lengthy friendship with the entire Clubb family through the years. Hugh, may you Rest in Peace.
I’m keeping all the family in my thoughts and prayers .
Thank you so much for the thoughts and prayers. Your family has always meant a lot to me.. I have many wonderful memories of y’all coming over for the boys to ride the bucking machine, also, all the rodeos .They were some wonderful times . There were quite a few times my dad would tell us about one of his many adventures and Jerry was part of those stories
I am so sorry for your loss, my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
Hugh was a very special, caring, and unique man who will be greatly missed.
Our deepest condolences to the family. We are keeping you in our prayers.
We are so sorry for the loss. Your family is in our thoughts. ❤️
The family ties go way back to Mr. Clubb’s children and the Hanna boys high school rodeo days. Many good memories. Hugh was so giving of himself to so many. He gave very wise advice when we began our real estate careers. Blessings to all. Rest in peace.
I want to extend my heartfelt condolences. After I graduated in 1972, I was introduced to Mr. Clubb. He was looking for a receptionist for his company, Associated Real Estate. I told him that I knew nothing about real estate. He encouraged me to join forces and he would teach me the real estate business. I declined and have wished many times that I had taken the position. As time progressed, it seems that I saw Associated Real Estate signs everywhere. I am so happy that he prospered. This country gentleman will be missed by many. My sincere hugs to his family and friends.
Very sorry to hear that Mr Hugh has passed he was always honest and kind to me. Haven’t seen any of you kids in a very long time. But if there’s any thing I can do, don’t hesitate to get in touch
To Roland and Family,
I will never forget your father’s generosity! In 1980 I had just got a new Bareback Rigging. I wanted to check the hand hold on a bucking machine. I knew you had one. So I just called your Dad. Now I had never met your father, and he tells me, “sure go get on it anytime you want to”. I used it several times and really helped me.
Prayers to the family
