Mr. Clouse was born March 21, 1942 in Putnam County, Tennessee to the late Harvey James Clouse and Ruby Crabtree Clouse.
James was a member of the Holladay Church of Christ. He loved the Lord and missed being able to attend church services the last few years due to his health. He served as a deacon at Central Church of Christ in Winter Haven, Florida before moving back to Cookeville in 2000. He held a special place in his heart for the elderly and kids, always giving them treats, and was known as “The Candy Man” at church.
For 37 years, he worked in the insurance business, retiring in 1999. In 1981, as an agent with Gulf Life, was the only agent in his district to make the Million Dollar Round Table. He loved people, and always said people were much easier to talk with if you could get them to laugh. He helped and touched the lives of many people throughout his career.
He enjoyed many hobbies in his spare time, including: camping, fishing, shrimping, and woodworking.
He was a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend.
