He was a member of the Mount Zion Baptist Church where he served faithfully until his death on the Usher Board and also Emeritus Sunday School Superintendent. Clee was a Christian witness who had no problem asking people he met if they Prayed every day and went to Church.

Clee was Crane’s number one sports fan and supporter. He attended EVERY sports event he could. He greatly loved all the kids and the kids loved him as well. He never met a stranger, no matter where he went. In November, 2015, he was honored at Crane High School’s Homecoming and pep rally. He was so happy and he deemed himself as “The Man of Crane County!”

He was preceded in death by his parents, brothers, O. D. Collier, C. H. Childs and R. C. Harmon all of Fort Worth, as well as Billy Gene Harmon of California, and his sister Betty Anderson of Fort Worth, Texas.

He is survived by his loving two sisters, Alma Nails and Ruby Nell Cole of Fort Worth, who practically raised him. Also, a host of nieces, nephews and friends all over the world. As well as his family in Crane, Jacky and Daisy Jeffery, who he often referred to as his parents and their children.
