Clyde was born December 5, 1939, in Port Arthur, Texas, to Jesse and Hellen Sides.

Without a doubt, Clyde Sides was a man of the highest integrity. He was a gracious, generous, genuine, gentle giant. Our lives have been enriched in knowing him and Janie over these past 2 1/2 years. We will truely miss him.
So sorry for your loss.
Dear Martha,
Chester and I were sorry to read of Clyde’s death. Please accept our sympathy and condolences. We’re never ready for our loved ones to pass away; but down deep inside, we know it is for their best. The verse in Psalms 116:15 says, “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His godly ones.” It’s good to know that we’ll meet again at the feet of Jesus.
I haven’t seen you since the time I saw you in the tire store, but I’ll always remember you as a sweet friend from our school days.
Martha Ray Pate Jones
