You will be missed dear friend and classmate. So enjoyed spending time at the class reunion. Until we meet again.

You will be sorely missed. You served as a teacher, an elder, a mentor, and a dear friend to us both and to many others. A truly Godly man who knew scripture like no others. Always ready to serve others with a true joy in his heart that comes only from his Lord and savior Jesus Christ. We will always cherish the recent visit to Ms. Donna who is on Hospice and you leading us in joyful song as we took the Lord’s supper with her. What a joy she had hearing you sing those old time Gospel songs. Love to Kellie and all his girls. Find peace and comfort knowing that Clint is now in the presence of his Lord and savior. He cared deeply for each of you.
Merriam Websters Dictionary needs to update the definition of ‘Gentleman’ to include a photo of Clint. Clint ALWAYS placed the comfort of others “First’, before himself.
May Clint be forever blessed in Paradise aside Jesus Christ. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
