Clyde Olester Benjamin, the son of the late Clyde and Mary Benjamin, was born December 19, 1954. After fighting a courageous battle, Clyde transitioned to his Heavenly home with the Lord on Saturday, September 1, 2018, at Community Hospice & Palliative Care’s Warner Center for Caring in Fernandina Beach, Fla. with his family at his bedside.
Clyde was employed with Fernandina Seafood for more than 40 years. He spent most of his time watching old Western movies and cheering for his favorite football teams, the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Dallas Cowboys. His best times, however, were spent watching his grandchildren.
