Obituary

“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; A time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted.” Eccl 3:1-2

Clyde White was born April 13, 1948, in El Dorado, Arkansas, to the parentage of Freeman and Zolon White.

“When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child.”

1 Cor 13:11

Clyde received his early childhood education in El Dorado, Arkansas, and later through the Detroit Public School system.

“...but when I became a man, I put away childish things” 1 Cor 13:11
