Clarence William Browder Jr. passed away peacefully at the age of 89 on June 8th , 2021.

Sadly, his first wife Jimmie passed away in 2001.
He was very active in church at St. Paul's United Methodist Church in Arlington. He also taught Sunday School there. It was at one of the church functions he happened to meet Myrtle Scoggins, they immediately became like "two peas in a pod" and were married in 2004. Again, sadly Myrtle passed away in March of 2020.
He loved fishing with his son, spending time with family and University of Tennessee Football…GO VOLS! He also was the head coach of many youth football teams in the 70's and 80's.
