Born May 11, 1930 in Fishersville, he was a son of the late Thomas and Billie Coeyman.
Clarence never met a stranger and was always ready with a helping hand. He loved the Lord, his family, and most of all, the love of his life, his wife, Libby. His faith was an important part of who he was, and he cherished his home church, West Waynesboro Church of Christ, where he faithfully served as both an elder and a deacon.

Left to cherish his memory is his son, Dale Coeyman and wife, Cherrie, of Gaston, SC; step-sons, John Campbell and wife, Nancy, of Springhill, FL and Steve Campbell and wife, Tamara, of Fishersville; special friend and caregiver, Kim Allen; daughters-in-law, Gladis Coeyman and Gail Coeyman; five grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; and 22 step-grandchildren. He also leaves a number of adopted grandchildren and a host of friends.
