A memorial service will be held Friday, June 5 at 11:00 a.m., with a visitation 1 hour prior at Waterbury Funeral Service of Sioux City. Burial will be at Graceland Park Cemetery.

Clyde was born on April 11, 1950, in Sioux City, Iowa, the middle child of Roy E. and Dorothy D. (Hoekman) Stevens. He married the former Susan Irish on November 25, 1972, and together they raised two children, Christine and Ben.

Clyde proudly served his country in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. He began his career at Sioux City Stationery, later known as Office Systems, in September 1966. After 48 years of dedicated service, he retired in April 2014 due to health issues.

Family was always Clyde's highest priority. While building a strong foundation for his family, he enjoyed a simple and meaningful life, spending more than 50 years in the home he and his wife purchased in 1973. He cherished time with those he loved and took great pride in his children and grandchildren.

Clyde was preceded in death by his parents, Roy and Dorothy Stevens; his in-laws, Warren and Ann Irish; his brother, Leroy Stevens; his grandmother, Harriet "Hattie" Bsharah, who helped raise him; his other grandparents; several aunts and uncles; nieces, Michelle and Kelly; nephew, Shane; many dear friends; and numerous beloved pets.

Clyde's kindness, dedication to his family, strong work ethic, and love for those around him will be remembered by all who knew him.
