Cecil was born January 10, 1936 in Young County to the late Rose and Carl Birdwell. He attended school in Graham, Texas and was a member of the First Baptist Church. Cecil served in the Army from 1958 to 1960. He worked in the oilfield for a time and then at Hexcel Corporation for 30 years and made many lifelong friends. Cecil was also a rancher and loved to hunt, fish and watch sporting events. He told many stories of his hunting and fishing trips. But his true love was his wife and family. He married Mary Carol Jackson on December 26, 1958, in Graham, and together they raised three children.
