Clint Storey Obituary
By James Epperson III
The Oklahoman
A 30-year-old Enid man became the latest Oklahoman to die in the war against terrorism.
U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Clint J. Storey was killed by an improvised explosive device under his Humvee on Friday in Ar Ramadi, Iraq, Defense Department officials said Sunday.
Also killed in the blast was Sgt. Bradley H. Beste, 22, of Illinois. Both were members of the U.S. Army 1st Calvary Regiment, 1st Armored Division of Friedberg, Germany.
"He was extremely proud of his job," said Melissa Storey, about her husband, Clint Storey, on Sunday.
"I'm very happy I had eight years with him."
Clint Storey grew up in Enid and frequently visited his mother there, Melissa Storey said.
She said she always will remember her husband because no one could make her laugh the way he could.
Their daughter, 4-year-old Adela, "was the absolute apple of his life," she said, adding that Clint Storey left her a "wonderful gift" the last time he was home in June. Melissa Storey is pregnant again.
Adela will gain a sibling in February, Melissa Storey said.
"I have letters and e-mails to show the baby," she said. "You find comfort in the little things."
Melissa Storey said Friday's explosion follows another one that occurred about two weeks ago.
In the earlier incident, an improvised explosive device went off under the engine of Storey's truck. Storey was hurt, but he survived and continued to fight, she said.
"I didn't think lightning could strike in the same place twice," Melissa Storey said.
The explosion Friday was directly under the soldiers, she said.
"I take comfort, because he was not alone," Melissa Storey said. "It was instantaneous, and I do not think he knew what happened."

The flag is flying in the sky
A daily reminder of who and why
We sit here remembering them today
These heroes that now lie in their grave.
While here on earth, the bravest ones
A soldier, a mother, a daughter, a son
The father's who went far off to war
To ensure our safety and so much more
To keep our children happy and free,
Someone must do this job, you see
So, today remember the soldiers who served,
Because this is one thing they truly deserve.
The loved one's that they have left behind,
The Gold Star mothers, like your and mine
We honor them proudly, every day
Our American Soldier...Proud and Brave
By Shannon Williams-Austill
I want to thank this soldier for their sacrifice.
And, I wish to extend my deepest regards to the loved ones they have left behind. Their service to our nation, has not gone unnoticed. They are our heroes, who paid the ultimate price for us, and that is something that every American needs to be reminded of and remember everyday.
The freedom we all have, we have because of brave young men and women who made a choice to defend and serve.
Today, let me remember your loved one with you.

God Bless your family and all your children. Happy B-Day to you and your Feb children B-Days. Thank you for your ultimate sacrifice for our freedon. Never being able to hold your children again through the years and tears of growing up. I'm sure you will always be in your childrens heart.May
God Bless and keep you family well and wrap you and them in his loving arms. We visit your Resting place and sit on the bench while in silent pray that we have not forgotten you and knowing you have not forgotten us in Jesus Name we Pray, Amen. (Mark 10 13-16) And they were bringing children to him that he might touch them, and the disciples rebuked them. But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, “Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them.

Hey Clint this is now SSG Rogers but when you were alive it was SGT and I wanted to tell you that without you being there I wouldn't have been the leader I was. I have been out of the army for 2 years but you still are there. I'll see you in fiddlers green.

Clint was a funny guy and a good man..He loved his country no doubt. I miss you Clint and will never forget you.

Well Son it's almost Christmas and I'm missing you more than ever.The holidays are the hardest for me,things will never be the same without you.
I put the tree up this year and done a little decorating(first time in 3 years)I did okay until I came across your ornament,I cried when I hung it on the tree.
I'm also cooking dinner for the entire family this year and we're going to play dirty santa,I've never played but it sounds like fun.
Your sister won't be down until the day after Christmas,but I understand,she has to start her own family traditions with her family.Bubba has his drivers license now,Trenton just turned 14,and the girls are adorable.We all love and miss you so much.
Mikey and his family will also be down,I'll get to meet Ryder Joseph for the first time.Mikey has a wonderful wife now.
son I guess I'll go now I was feeling down and just wanted to talk to you,I want to thank you for bringing the kids to me to play with in my dreams.(dreams I never want to wake up from)
Merry Christmas Son,I love you always,Rest In Peace.
Love Your Mom

Happy Fathers Day Son
I think about you everyday,I love and miss you so much.The weeping willow I planted for you 3 years ago in the front yard is so big and strong now. I met a soldier recently that served with you in Iraq,we talked for awhile,he told me about you over there and I told him about you here at home,mostly about how funny you were.
It's kind of ironic that there were three guys right there with you from here,I'm glad though that they were.

My prayers are with you all; Storey family. I didn't get a chance to speak with Clint for years. Not since High School. Also, I was born and raised in Enid and went to Enid High School. Clint is and was a cool guy who appeared to be cocky on the outside but had one the biggest hearts a person could be born with. :-) Sorry to be writing after so much time have passed, but his smile still lingers in my mind from time to time. No tears though, he was a true man of honor and died defending his purpose of life. Which I believe was his Family, respect, and his country. God bless. Wesley C. Haley, SSgt, USAF

To America's Son and Hero;
I remember this day, 2 years ago, when I received the news of your ultimate sacrifice for our country! My heart sank for your sister, for your wife, for your daughter, and for the baby to be! I know you were doing what you loved and America can never thank you enough for it! Watch over your family, Clint! They need you!
Clint's Family;
His death was not in vain. We are an even stronger America because of Clint! I know you are all so proud of him, but wish like heck he was in your arms today! Just remember, he's with you now. you can not see or touch him, but he is with you!
All my love and gratitude,

In Memory of Clint Joseph ~ (Debra Estep)

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.
The Wind on The Downs
“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”
(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )
Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….
“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”
I did not know Clint, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The Other Side
i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.
can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.
i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.
it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side
the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

Hi Son,
I just want you to know how much I love and miss you.
It's been two years today since God called you home.You are in my heart and thoughts always.
your wife
August 4, 2008
Well baby...it's been two years. Two years too many. 731 days or 17,544 hours or 1,052,640 minutes or 63,158,400 seconds. Too long and a lifetime to go. I think of you every day. I wake every morning with the knowledge that you will not physically be here today..or any day. I miss you when our babies do or say something funny. I miss you when Dela makes a face like you, when she learns something new, when she reads, when she cries, when she giggles, when she throws a tantrum, when she plays with her brother, when she has a finale to one of her many commitments, when she smiles, when she's ready for bed. I miss you when CJ makes a face like you, when he learns something new, when he says his many words...like "baaaannnnana", when he cries, when he giggles, when he throws a tantrum, when he's climbing everything in the house like spiderman and I am at my wits end, when he plays with his sister, when he smiles, when he looks at your picture and says "Dada" and then tells me you are in heaven, when he's ready for bed. I know you are so proud of them both and that you love them more then I could ever put into words for them. I know you are their angel watching over them and keeping them safe. But I wish that you were here instead....physically here to hug and kiss them, to play and sing and dance and be silly. To play sweet streets with Dela and trucks with CJ. To make coffee with Dela and begin to include CJ in that tradition. My heart aches for our babies, for the Daddy that should be here, for the life lessons that you should teach, for the booboo's you should kiss too, for the love that I know you would shower over both of them.
I miss you Gorgeous. I miss you in so many ways. I miss you making me laugh, and I miss your laugh. I miss how your smile would make me feel better and the way you would tell me everything was gonna work out when things were going wrong. I miss our Tuesday night date night that we never missed when we were together. I miss your coffee breath. I miss folding your laundry. I miss you when we sit down for dinner and there is an empty spot at the table where you once sat. I miss your smell. I miss your arms holding me. I miss our family hug and family nap time. I miss lying next to you and planning for our forever together. I miss everything...good times, bad times, all times....I miss you.
I know you are still with in other ways...and I am grateful for that but my heart is so sad that you are not here in the ways I want...the ways we all want. I feel you by my side and know that you will never be far from me and the kiddos. I hope I make you proud of the job I do and the decisions I make. You always knew/know I have the kiddos best interest at heart and that will never change.
I love you always and forever and miss you and will continue to miss you everyday for the rest of my life until we are reunited again one day. I love you.

Hey SSG Storey. I think of you from time to time. I'm just dropping by to say "hi" and pay my respects. I wish I kept in better touch with you.
I'm out of the Army now and I'm attending an Ivy League college. I think you would be proud. Richard has been going through SF training. We're your most 'squared away' soldiers, aren't we? Anyway, I hope your family is doing well.

Hi Baby,
It has been a year and a half today since God called you home.
I sure do love and miss you.Whoever said time heals all wounds did'nt know what they were talking about,because I have an emptiness in my heart that will never heal,just when I think I'm going to be okay,I fall apart all over again.
I don't see Mike and Jason much but they are doing well,keeping busy.Mike has a two year old boy,his name is Cooper,too bad Cooper and CJ could'nt grow up together.
Son I think of you 24/7.Thank you for my Grandson,although I have'nt even met him and he'll be a year old soon,or got to talk to Adela since you've been gone,and she's almost6(time goes by way too fast)it breaks my heart, but I make sure I send them cards,letters,and gifts on birthdays and Christmas so they will know Grandma loves them.I've tried to make peace,but things are how they are.
What I can't get over is the last time I talked to you on the phone,I said Son make me a Grandson while you're home ..and you did( that was so awesome),God knew you were'nt coming back,that's why he left you a namesake.
Yesterday was Superbowl Sunday,the patriots were undefeated all year and lost the superbowl in the last 39 seconds of the game,I know you would have been angry.
It makes me feel a little better talking to you.Rest in peace Baby Boy.
Love Always,
Mom

HELLO MELISSA CONGRATS ON THE BABY IAM SORY TO HEAR ABOUT SSGT STOREY'S DEATH. HE WAS MY RECUITER IN CALIFORNIA AND IF IT WASN'T FOR HIM I WOULD HAVE NEVER MADE IT IN THE ARMY. HE TOUGHT ME ALMOST EVERYTHING THAT I NEEDED TO KNOW GOING INTO BASIC TRAINING. HE ALWAYS MADE ME LAUGH WHEN I WOULD GO DOWN TO THE STATION. TAKE CARE AND HOPE THINGS GO FINE FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

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 you and 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, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) 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!!

Dearest Melissa,
I am still praying everyday for you and your presious little gifts. As I will continue to do everyday for the rest of my life. I think about the three of you each and everyday. As I read more and more ont he internet about your own personal HERO.
I went to school with Clint back in Jr. High School. I wanted to let you know that I have made a 4th of July bulletin board in my office. It is in memory of Clint. I would loe to send pictures to you, along with the story of Clint and I's School days.
I just though that it might be neat for you to have the pics of the bulletin board to put in scrapbooks for Adella and baby Clint. I wish that you and I could have met, It is as I have said in my past comments to you, Clint would only have married the best!!
Please take into consideration my offer of the pictures, I would feel honored if you would use them for the children.
Please e-mail me and let me know what you think.
Thank you so much for being the huge hearted person that you are.
Much love and prayers.

SSG Storey,
You were a great man and my recruiter. It is because of you I wear this uniform. Its ironic because we ran into eachother in Kuwait when we both were going on R and R. It deeply saddens me you are gone, you helped me so much. I will always remember you and honor your memory.

Americans will NEVER forget the service or sacrifice of your beloved Soldier - Respectfully - Glen Nevogt
“Soldier”
Written to Honor the Service of Our Fallen Soldiers
Soldiers write history, we pay the price
Many miles distant, you live the life
Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still
We hope and pray that all will find peace
In God, in the flag, in memories of valor
Gone now, our pride and courage you see
“An Army of One” our motto forever
Willing to risk all for love of our Brothers
We’re still Your Soldiers…and we showed the way
Our Lives too short, now pray for the others
Lived free died Heroes in lands far away
Deep within souls all cherished our Service
We’ll always have what some never know
Courage and Honor, our names forever
Lived life with purpose…just our time to go
We march in the Heavens with Honor and Glory
Missions accomplished we fought the Good Fight
Many years from now…we’ll tell the full story
Until that Day we will live in the Light
Our lives we laid down in a land far away
Still watching o’er you this night and by day
No need to talk…just know we are with you
There in your hearts and we hear what you pray
Yes we are your soldiers
Our lives we laid down
Still We guard o’er you
Still Duty bound
Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still
We’ll always have what some never know
Lived life with purpose…it was our time to go

Well,
What can I say, Clint was a neighbor of mine as a child. Unbeknownst to me, he joined the U.S. Army. I also am a member of the U.S. Army. At the time of Clint's death, I was in Tikrit Iraq, I learned of his demise via the Army Times. I was saddend to hear that he died in Iraq. Clint and I were fairly good friends through junior high. After that we grew apart. Regardless, I will miss him. I remember a vibrant young Clint who had dreams and aspirations that will now never see fruition. Men like Clint make it possible for the rest of America to sleep peaceably at night. He should not be forgotten. If not for men like him, none of us would be free. Although I did not know him in his final days, I am sad to hear of his passing and I will miss the man who was and could have been. Rest in Peace soldier, you've earned it!

I remember when Clint showed up to Ft Hood Tx. we all knew shortly after his arrival that he would become a great NCO and would do good things for the army. As a Soldier he made our job easy. When he said something had been accomplished we knew it had been done to standard if not better. The army lost a great Soldier the day the he joined the ranks of those who made the ultimate sacrifice. I also remember when he met Melissa and when he told me that he thought he might have found "the one" I was not suprised. I know you and your children will miss him dearly. I also know that nothing i could say will make the pain go away. Clint, you will never be forgotten. God bless
