On Tuesday morning, Dec. 15, 2020, with his family at his side, Clarence Van Dyke, 89, passed into everlasting glory to be with his faithful Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Clarence was born on Oct. 12, 1931, the 10th of 12 children born to Lawrence and Cora (Klein) Van Dyke. Growing up near Manhattan, Mont., Clarence had many fun and mischievous escapades with his brothers, Ray (a twin) and Jim. He attended Little Holland and Hyline schools, after which he worked on the family farm.
Clarence served in the Army from 1951-1953 and in the Army Reserves until 1956. During active service, he was stationed in Germany. Prior to leaving for the Army, he had his eye on a pretty neighbor girl; consequently, when he returned home, he married Marian Kamps on May 19, 1953. They were married for 63 years. Marian passed away in 2016. He missed her deeply.
