Clyde was a man of strong faith, steady character, and gentle spirit. He proudly served his country in the United States Army and continued a life of service through his work at Apex, where he labored faithfully until his health began to decline.

His commitment to the Lord and his church family never wavered. He was known for his integrity, quiet wisdom, and willingness to lend a helping hand.

Clyde was united in holy matrimony to Julia Burton, his loving wife and life partner. Their marriage was a beautiful example of devotion, strength, and love that endured through all of life’s seasons.
