Pastor Clyde Owen Waites, 78, of Dayton, died Thursday, July 7, 2011.
He was born on Dec. 4, 1932, on a farm near Buford, to Ray and Hester E. (Brown) Waites.
He was the last of six children born to that union of which five survived while an infant brother, Glenn, passed away. His parents; two brothers; Granville and Herschel; two sisters, Edith and Leona; and many nieces, nephews and friends, all preceded him in death.
He is survived by his wife of 58 years, Lorraine (Roehr), and their two children, Mark (Helen) and Martha Kaye (David) Frisby; along with six grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren.
Clyde loved pastoring, people, and loved to laugh and to make people laugh. He often said that he never had any question that God had called him to the ministry and testified that he could see God’s footprints from his earliest memories. He would want to be remembered as being “In Christ for Salvation, Security, Service and Forever.”
He was the Pastor of the Drexel Church of the Nazarene from September 1968 until his passing.
