Clyde Quick

Clyde Ray Quick, age 81, of Lexington passed away peacefully at home on July 10, 2020 after an extended illness. A small, private gathering was held for his family.

Mr. Quick was born on June 28, 1939, in Glendale, Arizona to William “Willie” Amos and Myrtle Omey May Hambrick Quick of Tulare, California. A Pentecostal Christian, Mr. Quick was a man of deep faith and never hesitated to share his love for God with others.
