Following graduation he opened “Clint’s Cycles” in rural Rich Hill. Clint participated in many Motorcycle Trials competitions, winning a State Championship one year. His love of motorcycles, ATVs, etc., was passed on to his three sons, Cole, Josh, and Luke., they spent many hours riding together. His nephews Mike and Bruce said Clint was “the fun uncle.” They loved going to his house as he always had something going on.

Clint was a friend to many and never knew a stranger; he could strike up a conversation with anyone. Any time spent with Clint was memorable; he gave the best hugs. He liked to make people laugh and always wanted people to know they were loved. He enjoyed spending time with his family, and especially enjoyed being at Stockton Lake. If you were Clint’s friend on Facebook you saw the many pictures he took, usually taken at the lake. Sunsets and sunrises were his favorite. He had an eye for capturing beautiful pictures, but also liked to capture humorous ones as well. Clint was also very skilled at chainsaw art and created some interesting pieces which he gifted to family & friends.
Clint had many passions in life; one of which was jet skiing. If the lake wasn’t frozen, then it was fair game! Clint loved Jeeps! He loved going around the lake and positioning his Jeep in some mighty precarious positions just so he could take a picture. He was also an avid bowler. He was introduced to bowling by his best friend in the world, his dad Bill. His mom, Irene, took him at the early age of one month to his first bowling alley. Most importantly, Clint was a man of God, and always shared his love for Jesus with others (John 3:16).
