I just saw that Clint had passed away, so sorry to hear that. We graduated from Shaw together and I he was such a nice funny guy. Everybody liked Clint. I was a pleasure to know him. He passes way too early.
One of the coolest dudes I've ever met. The world has slightly less light in it without him. I found his courageous spirit and authentic personality incredibly refreshing to be around. Was really hoping to get many more years of time with him. I hope the family gets the healing you need. Rest in peace Clint, you made a impact on my life and I thank you.
