Clyde was born on January 6, 1952, in Childress to Clarence M. Martin and Nellie Mae Hoover Martin.
Clyde was known to “pick at ya.” If he “poked fun at ya,” then you knew he really liked you! He was a tough father with an unshakable spirit.
Clyde and Brenda shared 55 years of marriage with one another. _e two of them loved to dance, and they were extraordinary at it. When they danced with one another, they would glide graciously, like they were on glass.
Clyde made it known that, on their 50th wedding anniversary, he wanted Johnny Bush to come sing to him and Brenda. Sadly, Mr. Bush passed away on their 50th wedding anniversary and was unable to come sing for them. However, their daughter, Nedra, was able to get them a signed autograph on a wedding photo of Clyde and Brenda and some fan gear, along with stickers and such.
Clyde will be remembered and missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. His hardheaded spirit will never be forgotten.
Clyde was preceded in death by his parents and is survived by his wife, Brenda Martin, of Childress; daughter Nedra Youell, of Childress; granddaughter Caylee M. Youell, of Childress; grandson Cayden M. Youell and wife Macie, of Meridian, Texas; great-granddaughter Caydee Jean Youell; one on-the-way great-granddaughter, Cambree June, who is due in February; brothers Marion Martin, Dale Martin and wife Shirley, Paul Martin and wife Patty and Marty Martin and wife Debbie; and sisters Anna Pierce, Hazel Herring, Freda Walker and Joy Martin; along with too many nieces and nephews to name.
