Clarence Darrow Seijo passed to his heavenly home on Monday, July 31, 2023.
The family will host a memorial gathering at 4105 Maggie Lane, New Bern, NC 28560 on Sunday, August 6 at 2:00 PM.
He was born to the late Charles and Anne Seijo on November 12, 1962. He is also preceded in death by brothers, Charles and Patrick.
He is survived by son Anthony Seijo and his mother Dana Gaiti; brother. Walter Seijo (Kim); three sisters, Theresa Shea, Karen Payton (Wright), and Maria Seijo (Tom Kelly); many beloved nieces and nephews.
Clarence had a quick wit and a friendly smile for everyone he met. He loved Jesus, working with his hands, fishing and riding his bike. He was always willing to lend a helping hand and was a jack of all trades.
For those considering a memorial contribution, the family suggests they be made to the Merci Clinic, 1315 Tatum Drive, New Bern, NC 28560. You may also give a hand out to a needy person you see along your way as Clarence would often do.
My condolences to the family and friends for their great lose. Clarence was a great guy with a big heart, and he always thought of others. I was lucky enough to know the Seijo family early in my life and struck up a friendship with Clarence and his brothers, Patrick and Walter. Though we may have gone our separate ways later in life I never forgot the Seijo brother's example they set for me and others in having empathy and showing compassion for others.
I had the honor of knowing Clarence for many years. He always made me laugh and we enjoyed pur friendship . Even when he was struggling with his own issues he would offer a helping hand and do anything needed to help others . Clarence afored anfd spoke often of his son , his son's mother , and his mother and siblings . I loved his little smirky smile ! Heaven gained a great man and msy he fly forever with his like kind, The Angels ! I will greatly miss him and our conversations . Hugs and prayers for all . With much love , Sherri DeLoach Ward ( Smith )

We as teens all had a group of friends we shared the years with . Clarence was my first boyfriend at 14.We were wild and free . We shared good times and bad. Through the years we all took different paths . But always hold a special place in each others hearts. Rest in peace beautiful boy.
Lifting the family and all who loved Clarence up daily in my prayers. Clarence impacted many when he gave his heart to God. I will never forget the countenance on his face when he talked about Jesus. I am thanking God for that memory and am grateful to have known Clarence and be his friend.
Karen and family, you have our deepest sympathy in the passing of your brother. To be absent from the body is to be present with The Lord.

Clarence was a great man and always willing to give and help those in need . May he fly in peace with the angels who have gone before him .
A scripture Clarence often shared:Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding;In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths. With deep sympathy and prayers, Jackie
