Mr. Claude, 79, of Brookhaven, passed quietly from this life and into the arms of Jesus, Friday morning, April 19, 2019 , he was born July 12, 1939, to Claude Clinton Day, Sr. and Opal Boyd Day. He served this great country in the United States Air Force. He was employed in the Oil Field Industry for 42 years and after retiring, he continued to work, nothing was too hard, or too lowly, he was always ready to help a neighbor with odd jobs. Psalm 37:23 says, “The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD; and He delighteth in his way.” Mr. Claude was the very definition of a “good man, spending as much time as he could with his family, a true treasure we will forever hold in our memories. He was a member of Clear Branch Baptist Church, being very active with several different groups until he became physically unable to attend, but continued to support his church family, and anyone who needed support, through prayer.
He is preceded in death by his parents, brother, Roland Day, and sister, Elsie Faye Barmes.
His family does not grieve as those who have no hope, for Mr. Claude was not only a “good man”, he was a believer in our Lord Jesus Christ, so until Jesus returns, or until each one joins him through death, he leaves his wife of 34 years, Sharon Mullins Day; sons, Delynn Day (Ellen), Nathan Deese (Rachel), Aaron Deese (Kristel); sister, Shirley Nash (Billy); five grandchildren, Keygan, Gabrielle, Josh, Blake and Jill; and a host of nieces, nephews, and other loving family members and friends.
We would like to thank the servants of Hospice Compasses for their compassion and their quick response to our needs; we also want to thank a couple of very special ladies, Barbara and Teresa, who spent time and energy to help care for Claude in the last two weeks, you were truly appointed by God.
