It was a real pleasure for us to engage Clyde at anytime. Always with a smile and a sincere hand shake. We are very saddened at his passing. Much to soon. His unassuming nature and honesty supports the belief in the possibility that we can exist to enhance the lives of others at the expense of our own. He will be greatly missed.

To the Diggs family,
You are in our thoughts and prayers during this time of your loss. Clyde was my classmate and although he was few in words that smile said it all. He will be greatly missed. Just remember that the Word of God says that He will never leave you nor forsake you.

I'm sorry to hear about the passing of Clyde Diggs. We knew Clyde through a family friend of Kenny Thomas. We attended bible study together at the IDMR. My condolences go out to the entire Diggs family and relatives. The Bannister Family.

I am so sorry to hear of Clyde's passing. I met Clyde many years ago through his cousin Ternandon. Clyde had the sweetest smile of any one I ever met. I used to joke him because he smiled all the time. He had a kind heart and he will be truly missed.

Clyde's gentle soul is free from fleshly concerns. His kindness and dedication to a conscience clear of condemnation witnessed to considerate attention to Yahshua the Messiah. He acknowledged Dr. Kinley's preparation for the METAphysical life he NOW enjoys. May his family and friends know that truly their loss is his gain and freedom from pain. Peace, brother Clyde.
