Clinton Odell Crick, 72, husband of Marilyn Moore Crick, passed away in McLeod Hospice House in Florence on August 4, 2020, after a brave battle with cancer. Born March 4, 1948, in Kingstree, he was the son of the late Gorden Lee Crick and Virginia Harrington Crick.
Clinton grew up in Kingstree, graduated from Kingstree High School in 1966, then earned his Associates Degree in Automotive Service Technology from Daytona State College. Shortly after proposing to the love of his life, Florence Marilyn Moore Crick, Clinton enlisted in the United States Air Force, served in active duty, and was deployed to Sheppard Air Force Base in Wichita Falls, Texas. He later served at Luke Air Force Base in Phoenix, AZ, and then, during the Vietnam War, he was deployed to Johnston Atoll near Hawaii, and soon transferred to Shaw Air Force Base in Sumter, where his first son, Brandon was born.
After his military service, Clinton and his family moved to Stockbridge, Georgia, where he worked at The Hartford Insurance Agency as a steam boiler inspector. While there, his second son, Collin, was born. Clinton and his family moved to Belvedere, Georgia, and during that time he earned his Associates Degree in Business from Aiken Technical College.
In 1980, Clinton and Marilyn returned to their hometown of Kingstree with their young family, where Clinton purchased his father Gorden Lee’s business. Kingstree Laundry and Rental thrived under Clinton’s entrepreneurial drive and steadfast commitment to a tireless principal of devotion to his customers, employees, community and family. Clinton was a faithful servant in the Kingstree United Methodist Church for many years, where he served as a Trustee, on the Finance Committee, Staff/Parish Relations Committee, and as an Usher.
He loved his family with all of his heart, was always finding a way to help others, and “making memories” always brought a great big smile to his face. Clinton enjoyed spending time at the beach with his family and on the golf course with his friends.
He rarely sat still, never “burned daylight,” could fix anything, made the best catfish stew in the world, gave the best hugs, and never met a stranger.
He was predeceased by his brother, Dennis “Bill” Gorden Crick, and two brothers-in-law, Donald Morris and Kenneth Gene Duke.
