Clarence attended public school in both Hancock and Baldwin County. He was employed for over 14 years at Central State Hospital in the Grounds Keeping Department.  
 
Clarence, known as “Man” to some and “Brick”, to others, enjoyed helping others within his community. He was regularly sought after to help others with their automobiles, plumbing, lawn care, or whatever was needed. He was truly a “jack of all trades”.
 
Clarence himself found true enjoyment in hunting, fishing, listening to country music, and watching Westerns. Clarence did not like to sit still, he enjoyed being outside doing whatever needed to be done.  
 
On Friday, November 07, 2025, after a prolonged battle with cancer, Clarence entered rest with his brother by his side.
