Condolences & Tributes

Add A Condolence

Me Merritt was the last surviving member of my 'village fathers' growing up on Renner Ave (Newark). I'll always and forever love him for the man he helped me become, and the Merritt family as my own.

We were saddened to hear about the passing of Clyde. We will continue to keep the family in our prayers. Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. Blessings The Whitley Family of Wilsons Mills, NC

Cousin Clyde as we lovingly called him, was a sweet, gentle and loving person. Till we meet again at Jesus feet. Cousin Pauletta and children. Louisville, KY

My deepest sympathy to Mrs Johnetta R. Merritt and family. Timothy Wilson

Clyde,I will miss our long talks about growing up in our hometown of Wilson Mills NC. We use to laugh and laugh about my father and how your mother always protected him no matter. I could always depend on you to support any event at my church St Elizabeth...especially the fish fry. Everyone new you loooved to eat! You were not just my cousin you were my friend. Until we meet again your cousin Lucy Thompson

My family is saddened at the loss of our beloved cousin Clyde. We take comfort in knowing your are in a better place....no more pain or suffering. You surely will be missed. Pamela and Frederick McCaster

Uncle Clyde, the longest living uncle of my fourteen uncles, was surely my special blessing. After the demise of Granddad, he became the family patriarch. He was a loving, caring brother to his sister, Doris, my Mom and to my Dad, such that many people thought he was my Dad's brother. When I retired and relocated to Richmond, Uncle Clyde welcomed me by saying that his home was always open to me and it was. For each member in the family there is a painful void. Until you welcome me again. With Love, Your niece, Joyce (Bunny)

Hey Dad,

Sorry I can't be there in person to celebrate your life, but you know that I loved you very much. You always treated me as if I could never put a foot wrong, and that I was a light of your life. I will miss you, but am comforted that you are at peace, and with your family in heaven (although I know that it is going to be a crazy and LOUD reunion!). Stephanie (Pinky!), Tampa, FL

Clyde was always by my cousin's side at family gatherings, and both Clyde and my cousin Johnetta were the perfect hosts when visiting their home. He will be greatly missed.
