Clyde was preceded in death by his parents, Jeffrey Boyd and Sudie Conner Reynolds; his brother, Max Reynolds; his first wife, Mary Louise Reynolds; and his son-in-law, Steve Bloser. He leaves behind a legacy of love and dedication cherished by his wife, Anne Reynolds; daughter, Tammy Reynolds Bloser; and step-son, Larry Stein. He was a proud grandfather to Alex Bloser (Haley), Brad Bloser (Leah), Joel Stein, and a doting great-grandfather to Britton Bloser. He is also survived by his sister, Marie Reynolds Padgett, and sister-in-law, Cadie Martha Joyner.
