Clyde O. Daniel, 78, of Arco passed away under the care of Hospice, Monday, October 3, 2005 after a long battle with cancer. He was born February 15, 1927 to Ina Bell Lee and John E. Daniel in a section house near Mills, Utah. Clyde's father was a carpenter for the railroad. Clyde was the fifth of seven surviving children: Edith, Agnes, Charles, Carl, Clyde, Ina May and one boy who died in early childhood.
Clyde's school years were spent in Denver, Colorado. While still living in Denver he met and married Nedra Palmer. To this union were born four children: Sue Ann, Michael, Kimie May, and Thomas Arlin.
Clyde entered the U. S. Army in 1945; he was stationed in the European Theater of Operations; he was also assigned to a special testing unit at the Air Force Base in Geeenland and while on this assignment he received the Blue Nose Certificate in 1953. Clyde was discharged from the Army in 1954, Sergeant First Class.
Returning to Denver after his Army services he found employment at Komac Paint Company. While working there, Clyde learned his house-painting skills as well as earning the lasting friendship of his employer Henry McLister. While still living in Denver, Clyde attended Columbia Silver State Baptist College, realizing his dream of entering the Baptist ministry.
Soon after his graduation, Clyde and his family moved to Grand Junction, Colorado, where Mr. McLister employed Clyde as a manager of his painting business. This developed into Clyde's lifetime profession as a construction painter who at times surprised painting crews working jobs in Aspen, Teluride and all along the western slopes of Colorado.
This was the start of Clyde's ministry of filling church pulpits each morning. Often Clyde and Nedra and their four children would be loaded in their car and on the road long before daylight, in order for them to reach a church in time for Sunday services. Many times there would be all-day sessions; the women of the congregation served bountiful Sunday dinners to all. The longest period of time Clyde's ministry took him away from the western slopes of Colorado was when he and his family moved to Casper, Wyoming where he filled a church pulpit for one year.
Clyde and Nedra celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in 1995. Nedra died in 2000; after her death Clyde moved to Idaho, living near his son, south of Moore. On December 2, 2001, Clyde married Margarete Cooper Staker in the Arco Baptist Church. They made their home in one of the Arco Lost River Senior Apartments.
Clyde is survived by his wife Margarete; one son Michael (Caralea) Daniel; two daughters Sue (Dan) Blade, Kim (Bob) Brufaker; one stepson Ted Cooper; two sisters Agnes Stone, Texas, Ina Mae Weingardt, Alaska; nine grandchildren; and 12 great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his first wife Nedra Daniel and one child Thomas Daniel, his parents John and Ina Daniel, one sister and three brothers.
A Memorial gathering will be held Saturday, October 8, 2005 at Simpson-Marvel Memorial Chapel, 153 Lost River Ave., at 2:00 p.m. until 3:00.
The family suggests donations to be made to the Lost River Hospice.
