Today, we lay to rest in the arms of our Lord a great man. He was a son, a brother, a husband, a father, an uncle, a cousin, and a good friend.

At an early age, Clarence accepted Christ. After moving to College Station, he joined St. Matthew Baptist Church under the leadership of Rev. M.O. Cooper. His faith and deep love for the Lord carried him through life, and he never hesitated to share that faith with everyone he met.
The Britton family moved to the big city of College Station when Clarence was in the eighth grade. He graduated from Lincoln High School in 1964. During his first year at Lincoln, he played the bass drum, but he soon excelled as a great football player. After high school, Clarence began his working life at Alenco.
