MILAM COUNTY, TX – The Rogers, Texas community is grappling with an overwhelming sense of grief after the tragic loss of three beloved family members in a devastating crash that took place on State Highway 36 in Milam County. Clint McCaffety, 43, his wife Meghan Nicole McCaffety, 39, and their 16-year-old son Connor McCaffety all lost their lives in the collision, which has left the tight-knit community in shock and mourning.
The fatal crash occurred on the afternoon of March 30, 2025, when the McCaffety family was involved in a violent collision while traveling along the highway.

Clint McCaffety was a well-respected figure within the community, known for his dedication to his family and his involvement in local organizations. His wife, Meghan, was adored for her caring nature and her active role in the lives of their son Connor, a bright and well-liked student at Rogers Independent School District (ISD). Connor, 16, was an athlete and a good friend to many, and his loss has sent shockwaves through his school, where he was a valued member of the student body.

A memorial service for the McCaffety family is expected to be held next week, where family, friends, and community members will come together to celebrate their lives and pay their respects. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that donations be made to a scholarship fund in Connor’s name, which will benefit students in Rogers ISD who are pursuing careers in education and athletics.
