Clyde was born April 2, 1939 in Brighton, Colo., the first child of the late William Henry Clark I and Drusilla S. Sims. He spent the majority of his life in Moses Lake, Wash. Clyde was married to Sharon B. Mende on January 17, 1966 in Coeur d’Alene, Iaho. Clyde graduated from Moses Lake High School and attended the University of Washington. He enlisted in the Army, and after proudly serving his country returned to Moses Lake to start a family. He was blessed with a lengthy career at Cascade Natural Gas Company. Clyde and Sharon raised their three daughters on their small farm where Clyde and his family made many memories together. Everyday life on their farm included tending to crops, caring for animals, getting a little dirty and loving and laughing a lot with their children, grandchildren, siblings, nieces, nephews, friends and neighbors.

Clyde is survived by his three daughters and son-in-law Susanne Clark, Gina Bates and Annette (Necmettin) Acar; five grandchildren Leanne (Matthew) Terry, Ryan Bates, Sydney (Dalton) Ivins, Kirsten Bates and Sebastian Seibel; seven great-grandchildren Eli Bates, Ezriel Bates, Ahriel Bates, Scarlette Terry, Lillie Ivins, Avery Bates and Sevannah Terry; a brother William Henry Clark II (Tony) and four sisters Kay Klintobe, Alice Weddle, Jody Herrington and Emma Bacon. Additionally, Clyde has many surviving aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.

Clyde touched the lives of many people throughout his life. He worked hard, loved his entire family deeply and always remained humble, believing a simple life was a rich life. Throughout his life Clyde loved the Lord, studied God’s word with his wife Sharon and before his passing, he was baptized in the blood of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Now Clyde is in Heaven singing, “I Belong to Jesus and Jesus Belongs to Me.”
