Clint was deeply loved by numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and dear friends, many who were more like family, who will forever hold him in their hearts.

His family was the heart of his world, and he filled their lives with warmth, laughter, and countless unforgettable memories.

Clint is preceded  in death by his cousin, Erin Saxton, his grandparents Max and Eula Saxton, Delbert and Myrl ‘Kewpie’ Ford, his father-in-law Gary Daniels, and his beloved family dog, Chester.
