Clarence Robert Jenkins

We wanted to share with the community the passing of Clarence Jenkins in his 76th year.  Clarence was a well-recognized figure around Huntsville for many years.  He and his walker were often seen around town, and people would look forward to the nice weather when Clarence would sit outside Shoppers Drug Mart to watch the traffic go by and wave to those who would honk their horns to say hello.  Thank you to those who did honk - it made him very happy.

 Clarence and everyone who knew him was incredibly proud that he was able to complete the 5k walk for Band on the Run...more than once...and with two replacement hips. He was an inspiration to many.

 This past year was a struggle for Clarence, but with incredibly compassionate and caring assistance from Community Living, he was able to retain his independence in his apartment. His last days were spent resting comfortably in the caring hands and beautiful surroundings of Hospice Huntsville.

 His family, including brothers Bill and Bobbie, and his good friends Kelly Petman and Cheryl Stamper, would like to extend their thanks to the paramedics, the hospital and Hospice staff, and the members of Community Living who worked so hard to keep Clarence safe and well and independent over the years.

 Due to Covid-19 considerations, there will be no funeral home visitation. Clarence will be laid to rest at Hutcheson Memorial Cemetery in May.
