Buddy Clontz Obituary

I was shocked and saddened to read about Buddy. I attended JIHS with Buddy, and during those 4 years he was always sincerely nice to everybody.

Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

MICHELLE

I WAS SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR HUSBAND. ITS OBVIOUS THAT YOU LOVED HIM VERY MUCH AND I KNOW YOU ARE IN ALOT OF PAIN AND I WANTED YOU TO KNOW YOU ARE IN MY PRAYERS.

REMEMBER: GOD'S GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE, EVERY NEED, AND EVERY MOMENT IN OUR LIVES. MAY YOU EXPERIENCE HIS GRACE IN ABUNDANT MEASURE DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME. 2 CORINTHIANS 12:9

Our heartfelt sympathy goes to your family. Grace, you and Jack were some of our favorite prayer partners in our James Island Baptist Sunday School class. We will continue to pray that God will give you strength and encouragement in the days ahead. We love you and hope to see you soon.

Michelle and Family,

We all were blessed to have known Buddy and to have shared in his life. He will be forever in our hearts. He was a special person that gave so much. We will all make sure that the two boys know what a great Father he was.

He will be missed...but never, never forgotten!

I'm still very upset and angry. I loved my husband very much! Buddy was my 1st true love and that will never go away. His last words to me was "Michelle You know you and my 2 boys are what is my heart". Tracy is right, we will let our boys know how good of a man and father Buddy was. It is our duty for Tracy & I to keep these brothers together and we will. I have been with Parrish since he was 2 1/2 and I love him like he was mine. I also love his mother and together we will be fine. Thank you everyone for your help and love! We are very lucky to have the friends and family we have to support us. So again, thank all so very very much!

We will get through, we will be strong for each other and most of all for Parrish and Grayson. We will keep Buddy alive in our hearts and let his boys know the good man their father was and how much he loves them. God bless you Bud and may you finally be happy. I love you.

To the Clontz Family, Michelle & family, Tracy and Parrish,



I was so deeply saddened and shocked by the loss of Buddy. We went to school and church together growing up and he was always a joyful and happy person to be around. I have run into him almost every morning over the past couple of months and he always had a way of bring a smile to my face.



Tracy, I know we have not seen each other in a while, but please know that I am here for you if you need anything at all.



Each and everyone of you are in my prayers. God Bless. Angie

Dear Tracy, My thoughts and prayers are with you and Parish. IF you need anything please call me. Love you both !

Words cannot describe the feelings that I felt for you and Buddy's family when I read about him yesterday. I know this will be a difficult time for you. Try to stay strong and know that God will be by your side to bring you through this. I never had the pleasure of meeting Buddy but I heard he was a wonderful person. May God rest his soul.

To the Clontz family i was so upset to hear about Buddy.Even though we have not seen each other alot i always thought of him fondly .Please accept our condolences

ECCLESIASTES 3:1-2 To everything thre is a season and a time to every purpse under the heaven. A time to be born and a time to die.





Michelle,

I was sadden to hear of the loss of your dear husband Buddy, whom I know you loved and cherished. In hearing of his loss, I could not help but shed a tear myself in knowing the pain that you were experiencing due to the loss of someone you loved and cared so much about. My mind went back to the many conversations you and I had about the wonderful times you spent with your husband and son and how much you loved them both. 1Corinthians 13:7-8 says Love bears all things, believes all things,hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.



Michelle, I will not tell you not to grieve for your husband Buddy because only God knows the pains that you are now feeling. Grief comes to all of us. It comes uninvited and is never in a hurry to leave. To some measure it will occupy a room in your heart for a long time. You will never get over the pain you feel for Buddy, but you will get through it. Revelation 21:4 says And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes and there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be anymore pain, for the former things have passed away.



To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.

Maria

To The Clontz Family,

I heard about Buddy's death from my mother on 18-December-2005 and felt a sudden sense of family loss.I say family loss because our families were more than neighbors but we were like family.My heart goes out to Jack, Grace, Tammy and Jackie.

Remember Proverbs 3:5-6..Trust in the Lord with all thine heart;and lean not unto thy own understanding.In all thy ways acknowlege him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Dear Mr/Mrs Jack Sr.



I'm so sorry about your lost. Me and Buddy grow up together not just as neighbors but best friends. Our families were like none i've met in my 35 yrs. I tell people all the time about how me and Buddy and our families got along; it was the greatest. Although i haven't seen Buddy in a long time I will still have the special memories I hold in my heart for him. Buddy and I with the will of God we will meet again.

Psalm 90:4 - "For a thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night."



Buddy, with that in mind, I'll see you soon when we all get home. With more love than you know...



Matthew

To The Clontz Family:



As I read about Buddy's death in the paper this morning, I felt nothing but pain for your family. I used to work with Buddy at Clontz-Garrison and when he moved to the Hollywood area years ago, we would talk about how the fishing was. I had the wonderful pleasure of running into Buddy at Walmart on December 2 and he introduced me to his 2 precious boys. I never had the pleasure of meeting you Michelle, but as a part of Buddy's life, I know you are a special woman. To Jack, Jackie and Mrs. Grace, words cannot even begin to say how sorry I am for your loss. I know there is nothing I can do, but I will keep your family in my prayers. They say that God only chooses the special ones to Heaven and God really chose a special man this time.



My sympothy and love to everyone.....
