Clinton Wayen Meineke

It is with great sorrow that a life was taken too early. Clinton Wayen Meineke came into this world in Clinton, Missouri on October 2, 1996, to Melissa Meineke and Eric Tennessee. Clinton was a positive energy that was determined to excel in everything that he attempted. From perfecting every dance scene in the movie "You Got Served", to varsity basketball or Truman Youth Football League, Clinton High school or the San Antonio Tennis teams, he wanted to be the best. Clinton achieved a license as a dental assistant and just wrote his entrance exams on September 11, 2025, to further pursue his education.
Clinton is survived by his parents, Melissa Meineke and CJ Rudolph (Lacey); his personal strength, Dean Scott; as well as his siblings, Vanessa, Jesslyn, John and Julius. He is also survived by Nana, Jeanette; aunts, Kathy, Tonya (Tee Tee), Charnella and Bridgette; uncles, Ronnie, Joseph, Roland, Josuha, and Jacob; as well as many great aunts, uncles and a gang of cousins. He had many extended family members that helped raise him and guide him both in his early days to current. Susan and Aaron Potter and their family were his lifeguards and sounding board during the hard times and the great times. He was also supported by the Landfords, Johnsons and Jones. He was predeceased by his grandfather, John Meineke; grandmother, Juetta Vernal; great-granny, Betty; and Uncle Jimmie.
We all lost Clinton, a great old soul, on September 12, 2025.
