Clyde dedicated himself to serving the United States Army, contributing honorably to our country. Subsequently, he embarked on a professional journey, stepping into his role as a prison chaplain with the Missouri Department of Corrections, a ministry he was proud to be a part of for over 30 years. In addition to his full-time position, Clyde also served as a minister to numerous churches in the area, demonstrating a steadfast commitment to providing spiritual guidance and support.

Devoted to his family, Clyde celebrated 50 years of marriage and together, he and Jacqueline laid a strong foundation of faith in their home. Family moments were enriched by his love for playing board games and dominoes, and he worked diligently to ensure Christmas was a joyous time of year for his children. An intelligent man, he was skilled in reading both Greek and Hebrew languages and the scenic beauty of the Lake of the Ozarks made it a cherished family destination.
Clyde embodied a quiet and reserved demeanor, characterized by honesty and strong work ethic. He approached politics with seriousness and was strong in his convictions. Cherishing moments with family, Clyde took pleasure in revisiting memories and imparting family knowledge and genealogical information to his children.
