Clyde. A wonderful friend and a great man.

Clyde was my brother's best friend since they were in junior high.  He was like my "extra brother", growing up. It seems like he was always nearby. I remember when he and LuAnn got married and when Keith was born - it seems like a lifetime ago.  They were both just such special people and friends to many!  Clyde - and LuAnn too, loved the Lord.  In reading some of these tributes, it was apparent that they touched many lives in God's service.  I have no doubt that Heaven is shining a little bit brighter now.  Thank you to Cheryl for all the wonderful pictures which brought back some happy memories.  Thoughts and prayers to Cheryl and all of Clyde's family and loved ones as they continue on life's path.

Cheryl and Family, I am very sorry for your loss. I know you are hurting but I also know that you have a great comfort knowing that Clyde is with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ now and he isn't hurting anymore. You are in my thought's and prayer's.

It’s so hard to put into words how much Billy & I loved Brother Clyde .
Whenever Billy had surgeries he was always at his side in the hospital and followed him at home to talk to him about GOD . He was just a wonderful Pastor to talk too. 
We will miss him so much , the laughter n smiles he always had to share with us . 
Our prayers n love go out to Cheryl and her beautiful daughters.  
Also to The rest of his family .
We will miss you so much Brother Clyde but someday we will see you again in Heaven ... 

Pastor Garrett influenced our lives so very much. A true friend and so caring. We know where he is right now in the arms of Jesus. His pain is gone and replaced with his reward. He helped so many throughout his life. We should all aspire to be like him. Prayers and love to his wife and children.  We are praying for you.

Clyde was great friend, neighbor, and Pastor.  I learned a lot from him. I know Clyde was Doug's best friend and he loved talking with Clyde and playing music,  Doug and I enjoyed Clyde's friendship and have lot of good memories with Clyde. I will remember all things Clyde did for me when Doug was dying.  He gave me courage and understanding doing that time and for the future.  I am glad that God allowed  me to know Clyde. I will miss Clyde but I will see him again.  

Brother Clyde has always been there with a helping hand for us. Our congregation at Hiawasse FBC.is going to bring lost without him. He loved his Cheryl and adored those girls. We will miss you good friend but know we will see you again.

From the song “Thank You”. I dreamed I went to Heaven, you were there with me; we walked upon the streets of gold beside the crystal sea. We heard the angels singing,then someone called your name; you turned and saw this young man, he was smiling as he came. And he said,”Friend you may not know me now. “ Then he said,”But wait! You used to teach my Sunday School when I was only eight,and every week you’d say a prayer before the class would start;And one day when you said that prayer,I asked Jesus in my heart. “ One by one they came,far as the eye could see,each life somehow touched by your generosity,little things that you had said and done,sacrifices made,un-noticed on the earth,in Heaven now proclaimed. I know up in Heaven you’re not supposed to cry, but I am almost sure there were tears in your eyes;as Jesus took hand,you stood before the Lord;He said,”My child,look around you,for great is your reward!” Thank you for giving to the Lord! I am a life that was changed. Thank you for giving to the Lord! I am so glad you gave! I miss you Brother! You truly meant it when you said,”Helping people live a better life through Jesus”! Prayers to Cheryl,Alexandria,Adrienne,Keith,Cliff and Toni and Miss Della and all the family. 

Bro Clyde once had a great series of lessons on Heaven, now he is enjoying Heaven with Jesus.  Christians never see the last of each other, Loretta Baker 

It was a blessing to have Bro Clyde as our pastor at FBC. When we moved this was one of the draw backs about moving. We sure missed his preaching & the great members there. Our prayers go out for Cheryl & the family .

It was a blessing to be the youth pastor at Fbc Hiwasse while Bro Clyde was the Sr pastor. For the almost 6 years I was there he became a close friend. He was always for me and trusted me to do what God had called me to do, he told me many times I will back you up and he did. There is one story that tells you how good I had it, we had out grown our little youth room so Clyde helped me knock out a wall to make it bigger. Not long afterwards it was so full that a teenage girl and her friend came to visit and it was so packed they didn't feel comfortable going in and it broke my heart but also broke Clyde's and he was furious. The next week he announced that the youth would be taking over the main sanctuary because we had run out of room and they moved adult bible study to Tuesday night's! It stayed that way until the student center that he pushed to build was complete. He said I'm not getting in Gods way, He's moving in the youth and we're going to join Him!! You will be missed my friend,  I'll see ya soon!

Dear Family and Friends,

There are no words to describe how blessed Merle and I have been to share part of our journey here on earth with our dear Bro. Clyde. He was a man who not only  preached God’s Word but walked the narrow path. To what some people have might considered a life of sacrifice, Bro. Clyde considered a joy and blessing to serve The Lord. 
Merle will always remember how grateful he was to spend five years of leading music at First Baptist Hiwasse. Bro. Clyde always made Merle want to be a better man. Merle believes those years were some of the best years of his service to The Lord. But as a dear friend, the memories of laughter, joking around, and spending time just hanging out (even when Bernie came to visit)will be treasured in Merle’s heart forever.

The way Bro. Clyde expressed love, devotion and loyalty to his family is a legacy he leaves behind for his son, Keith, and step-daughters, Alexandria and Adrienne.
Many of us saw the dark days Bro. Clyde experienced during the lost of LuAnn. We also saw the excitement of a new love, Cheryl, and the opportunity he would be afforded to influence the lives of two young ladies.

Love and prayers to Cheryl and family,
Merle and Joy

I will miss Bro Clyde's sermons.  He preached the word the way the Lord would want it preached. I will miss our conversations whether they were regarding the word or talks that we shared about politics and the direction this country was headed. Oh, I can't forget the 5th Sunday meals at the church.  I would always try to beat him when it came to the desserts and give him a hard time about how many he was going to eat.  My prayers go out to Cheryl, the girls and the rest of the family.  I will miss you Brother Clyde.

Bro Clyde is/was one of the kindest person I know. He always told you straight when you asked him a question. Loved to hear him preach! Heaven gained another great man. Prayers to Cheryl and the girls, his son and the rest of the family.  Will truly miss him!  One of the best memories is when he married Ervin and I...will treasure those pictures even more!
