Clyde Fountain
December 6, 2016
This is not a traditional obituary. This is a love story and this is why there is a picture of both of us. My name is Denise and this is my love, Clyde. His beautiful soul passed from this earth today December 6, 2016 at 4 p.m.
We met online in the fall of 2012. We talked online for a while and then on the phone. I loved his voice. We met in person for the first time on Halloween 2012 and it was pretty much love at first meeting although I tried to fight it as I had just divorced. He was kind and sweet and thoughtful and had a lot of integrity. I will always remember the fun times we had fishing out on the Gulf or on our little lake at the camper. He was also a man who loved our Lord.
Clyde would help anyone in distress. I would get mad at him because he would stop for every stranded motorist he came across. I would say, "they'll be OK, I'm sure they have a cell phone." But, he would stop anyway and say to me, "what if it was your daughter Sarah, wouldn't you want someone to help her?" And, of course, he was right.
Anyway, we were happy and I thought we found our happily ever after together, finally, after all these years. My soul mate, my love and my best friend. I played him our song, "My Best Friend", by Tim McGraw when I was last with him and he smiled a little. Then I played him his song for his dad, "I can only Imagine," by Mercy Me. I told him that I loved him and to wait for me and to say "Hi" to my mom and dad and that I was sure his mom and dad were waiting for him as well. I'm sure I will be seeing you again some day, my sweet sweet Clyde. I love you and my heart is breaking....but I am happy that you are now with our Lord and no longer suffering.

My sweet little sister, Words cannot express how very sorry I am. I know that the last year especially has been torturous for you, and I can’t imagine what you must have gone through watching the love of your life fade away before your eyes. I pray you can take comfort from the beautiful memories you and Clyde made together, and from the knowledge that he is watching over you always. I love you and am bere for you whenever you need me.
Praying for peace to Denise and Clyde’s family. Glad to hear Clydes suffering is done, yet know it’s painful to let go. Hold on tight to all your memories!!! God bless
Clyde, I am so happy to have been blessed with your friendship in this lifetime. You were a true friend you helped me out and were my guardian angel during the No Name Storm of 1993. You got my salt water submerged 1976 Maverick running again, I asked you why you helped me, you replied, "Because you have a young child and if you have to take her to the doctor or hospital, you need transportation." I will miss you terribly, however, I know that you are in a better place with the Lord and not suffering anymore. This is not a "goodbye" but a "see you later in the after life". You will forever be my friend. God Bless You Clyde.
Clyde, I came to know you through Denise. You were such a great friend, and love to her. Heaven holds special spots for wonderful people like you and our world is better for having you been part of it. Ready in peace your friend Jeanne
Praying you have peace and are pain free.
My brother and I were not always close and I regret that very much. When I found out that he was losing his battle against cancer, I came to the realization that I was losing the last of my immediate family and it broke me! I will miss you brother! Tell mom and dad I love them. Love you and God bless
I/we are very sorry for the loss you are suffering and are sending prayers that you find comfort knowing he is now resting in the arms of our Lord. When we lose a loved one here, we gain an angel in heaven that watches over us. Although he is no longer with us, he is still alive in our hearts and minds, through us they live on. We were fortunate to have met Clyde and enjoyed the family times we shared at Universal and seeing how happy you made each other. I am so sorry Denise! Rest peacefully Clyde!
Rob and I are very sorry for your loss. We enjoyed some special times together; and those happy days will live on in our minds and hearts. Take comfort knowing Clyde is resting peacefully in the arms of our Lord and no longer suffering. John 11:25 "I am the resurrection and the life; the one who believes in me will live even though they die."
Denise, That was a beautiful love story of you and Clyde. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult journey you will endure in the days, weeks, and months ahead. The Lord now has Clyde in his arms and he is now out of pain. Just have comfort knowing Clyde is up above watching over you. Love, Tina
Though I’m not good at expressing my feelings, I want you to know how very sorry I am for your loss. I’m glad I got to know and spend time with Clyde, and I will be there for my "sister" in any way I can.
Clyde was a wonderful man. Whomever he was around, he brought them joy; whether it was a simple smile or cracking a joke. He had a way of making people smile, especially Denise. The love they have for one another is infinite. Clyde will always remain in our hearts. May he look down on us; guide us throughout our journey here on earth, until we are called home. My deepest condolences to all his family and friends.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sorry Vic love you
RIP uncle Dickie
Clyde was an amazing person. Although, I did not get to spend much time with him. However, the times I did have with him and the family will always be kept close to my heart. Clyde was very welcoming to me, and always had great stories to share. He will be deeply missed. My condolences to all his family and friends.
We are thinking of Clyde today, on his first birthday spending it face to face with the Lord Jesus Christ. What a blessing it was to be able to love Clyde so dearly before him going home to heaven. We miss and still love Clyde so very much… and it is our prayer that the Lord continue to bless Denise and keep her strong during the times that she may be missing Clyde too. With much love, Jessica and Scotty of Passion for Prison Inc
