Clinton was loving, compassionate, and most of all a very caring person to all. He enjoyed spending time indoors, following his beloved Saints and LSU football teams. He was an avid and dedicated sports fan. However, his true passion was spending time with his loving family and friends. Clinton was unique and irreplaceable, well respected and liked, and will be deeply and dearly missed by all who knew and loved him. His spirit and tender nature will remain in the many memories of his cherished friends and family until they meet him again.
