I had the special privilege of knowing Clint, his siblings and parents in Picayune, MS. There is no way I can begin to explain to you how kind and thoughtful Clint was. Also any attempt by me to try to explain the positive influences he had on my life would be sadly inadequate. Clint was able to take any and all situations and create positive and uplifting outcomes for most people. Clint knew what he wanted in life. He had accomplished more by the age of 30 than I have at the age of 35.
I know he is in a better place anxiously waiting for his family to join him in heaven. I look forward to seeing him myself in the future.

It has been 4 years today since I got the dreaded phone call from mother. I will never forget that moment or that week. It is amazing to me how death brings the living closer together, that is what happened to our awesome family. I have so many wonderful memories with my siblings (we have always been close but it is different now.) I was grateful to be able to laugh and cry with them as we talked about our very own hero. This still rings true to this day when we talk of our beloved brother and son. I find comfort in knowing that he has joined the Heavenly Armed Forces and has greeted so many fallen soldiers with a huge hug and kind words. Clint is a very loving, kind, and selfless man. He would do anything for anyone and he ultimately sacrificed his all in giving us our freedom, what is more glorious than that!!! Thank you for that gift. I am so anxious to see him again and be able to receive a Clint hug, oh how I miss those. I pray that I can live worthy of such a reunion. I want to have our family be together forever. I am certain we will as we have learned what is truly important in life. Thank you for the unspoken lessons Clint, you will never know the many lives you have affected for the better. I have enjoyed teaching my little boy Ethan Clint about our freedoms and how we are so blessed to live in this country, thanks to you. I love his reaction when we see a soldier. It reminds us both of you. I love you my brother. See ya soon.

Hope you have time to read this Clint:
It has been 4yrs today since you "moved on." Tomorrow marks the day I found out which is my wedding anniversary. I will never forget my first anniversary. I wish I could have seen you since Grandpa's funeral. It was a honor to perform Grandpa Ferrins funeral together in our Class A uniforms. (Even though you made me feel bad for my scruffy looking shine on my shoes ha ha) My fondest memory was helping Grandma Ellis together, I will remember that forever. Time has healed the wound, but I look forward to seeing you again. I am trying to live worthy of a welcoming embrace into God's presence.
I am grateful that you have emblazed in me a love for country. You already know, and perhaps are upset that UNLV has named a complimentary dental clinic in your name. I know you hate attention, and feel unworthy. I just want you to know that it has to do with what you represented: sacrifice. You love America and so do I. We will give free dental care to hundreds of soldiers who have served in the War Against Terrorism. I know you would turn the honor to the Savior, and rightfully so brother. I know that one day we will stand face to face and embrace. I know that families can indeed be together forever. I am working and serving in preparation for that day my loving brother.
God be with you till' we meet again
Look to God and live,
John

So it has been 4 years today since you were taken from us and so much as happened since then, but not a day goes by when the family does not think about you or talk about you. We are so grateful for the sacrifice that you and you comrades have gone through to give us our freedom in this wonderful country. We will never forget that and the wonderful example you were to millions of people around the world. You are a true hero and you truly did bleed red, white and blue. I can only hope that I can live my life as you did as a true american and family man. I love you and miss you and we will never forget. God Bless America and our soldiers were ever they may be. P.S. Thanks for sending us Tucker, he is a blessing

I just read about SSG Ferrin on the internet, as I was trying to look up people I know. I was shocked and deeply sadened that SSG Ferrin fell in Iraq. I can't tell you the depths of my sadness I feel at the moment. I'm truly sorry it happened. SSG Ferrin was one of the kindest NCO's I've ever met, and I can still remember some of the things he told me, to help me adjust to military life when I first joined the military. He was truly a great guy.
With deepest sympathy,

Clint was my cousin and friend. I will always remember the good times we shared growing up - including teasing all the other cousins. Clint was so quick witted and loved to tease.
I am proud of him and what he has done for our country.
I am now a junior high school teacher and I try to help my young students understand the importance of our troops and their sacrifices. Freedom isn't free.

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.
Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.
I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON (KIA on 07/06/07) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.
REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

Melinda,
On this somber day I especially think of you and the children. Know that my thoughts are always with you and your family. Clint was a great NCO and man. Thank you and his family for lending him to us for the time we had him. I will always have the deepest regard for him.

Clint,
Wow, 3 years ago today you left us to go to a better place. One of your friends told us "God only takes the best." I truely believe that. I am so thankful for the legacy that you have left. I am so proud of you and so thankful for the things you have taught me about sacrifice and love. You are my hero. I never have looked at our flag the same since you died. I love what the colors represent and how you honored it (it means so much more to me now) At your funeral the chaplain said "In life we honor the flag, and in death it honors us." Thank you for your gift of freedom. I love you and miss you Bro.

Clint was a wonderful soldier who knew what sacrifice was all about. He like so many others left their families behind to go fight for our freedom. He was a great father, husband, son, grandson but best of all a awesome brother. Three years today Clint, We love you bro and think of you everyday. We miss you so much and we know you are watching out for us.

I served with SFC Ferrin briefly with D. CO 1-504TH and have deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq together. He was a quiet professonal that was respected deeply by his peers and the men he led. He surely will be miss by all the lives he has touched.

I went to Weber High with Clint, we both used to joke in class and do dumb things, what a great kid and what a noble man I'm sure he turned out to be. I'm deeply saddened by his death as I'm here in Baghdad doing the same job, it's tough, but I don't wan't my kids to have to do this when they become adults, all human beings deserve to live free without fear, and with dignity. God Bless you and your family Clint, your friend Sgt Andrew Bingham, Baghdad, Iraq

Clint & I were the new kids in Biology homeroom way back in 1990. He was one of the only people in the whole school that would even speak to me. Even though he and I were polar opposites politically, Clint was always respectful (no one else ever was). He was a soldier and a gentleman before he even graduated high school. All these years later, I still think about what an intrinsically good person he was. The world needs more people like him. I am grateful that such a man was fighting for this country. He touched more lives than he will ever know. May God continue to bless you and your family, Clint.

My heartfelt sympathy to the Ferrin family in the loss of Clint. I did not know Clint, but my heart is broken and I am saddened for your loss of such a fine young person and hero. May God bring you peace in your heart as you reflect on all the wonderful memories you hold so close. Please know that you are in my heart and prayers. Clint it has been 2 years since you were taken. You are a hero and you will never be forgotten.
I send each of you a hug from the most inner part of my heart.
Love and Peace

To the Family,
My son Lt. Scott Kowell had so much admiration for your son and husband. He truly was saddened by his death. I will never forget when he emailed us and told us that 3 of his soldiers were killed. He told us that they were going to have the memorial service for the guys. Please know that your son and husband was loved and admired by our son.

My heart felt condolences go out to Clint's family. I was Clints Squad leader when I arrived at Ft. Bragg in 1992 and have worked on and off with him until I left Fort Bragg in 2002. He was a tremendous soldier and family man and I have the upmost respect for him as a soldier and as a person. The day he died will be etched in my memory forever.

My brother is my hero. I am so proud of him and want to tell everyone that. He told me after joining the military "Someone has to fight for our country and the freedom for others and if I die doing it then I am doing what I love." He is the most patriotic person I know and I am so blessed to be his sister. I have always had so much respect for him. Clint I love you and look forward to the day of our reunion-how glorious that day will be. We're taking care of Zack, Maddie and Dee. We all miss you but we are thankful for your ultimate sacrifice so we can continue to be free. Love ya. God Bless America.
