Clyde was raised in Lewis County where he attended Highland High School. He was self-employed in the business of buying and reselling merchandise. He enjoyed auctions, antique toys and tractors, shooting pool, fishing, and scrapping iron. If you knew him for long enough, you knew he could be ornery!

He was an avid reader of his Bible, had a faith in God that kept him rooted and grounded no matter what came his way in life. He taught his children about Jesus, and he lived what he taught. He was always willing to help others. He loved time spent with his family and friends. Clyde especially loved Mama's "Mad" fried chicken. He always joked that he would try to make her mad before she cooked chicken; he said that's when it tasted the best.
