GREENVILLE, TX Friday, August 14, 2026 I am so sorry to hear of Clyde‘s passing, I will work forever remember him, laughing and kidding and playing jokes with us kids. As an adult, he was a hard worker, very loving and kind to his family. He will be greatly missed, but now forever healed in our father‘s arms.Wendell Butler

Broadway, NC Thursday, August 13, 2026 Prayers for this special family. Clyde was a good man and I'm so glad our lives crossed paths. The time he spent in NC was special for all of us. Clyde and Shirley would go to church with us on Sundays while they were here and I was so impressed with the way they knew the Bible and the hymns. I can still hear Clyde singing. Take your rest my friend. You will be missed but your memory will last forever and your name will flow from our mouths with a smile.
