Clyde Chenault Obituary
Clyde was born in Lakeland, Florida on December 17, 1952; son of the late Howard E. Chenault and Hazel A. Stromsnes. In 1977, he began his 38-year career at Publix Super Markets in Lakeland and retired in January of 2015.
Clyde was a man of immense heart, humor and passion. His love for sports, fishing, the ocean, Volkswagens, and his unwavering spirit will always be remembered. He was a legend in the sport of softball and continued to play up until his passing. Clyde was a shining light in the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing him. His journey on Earth was one marked by love, compassion, and his faith in God. His passing has left a void in the hearts of his family, friends, and many more whose lives were touched by him.
He is survived by his wife, Beverly Chenault; daughter and son-in-law, Jennifer and Adam Hughes; daughter and son-in-law, Amanda and Heath Taylor; his brothers and sisters, Gene Chenault, Dianne Sanders, Brand Chenault and Naomi Chenault; grandchildren Christian, Jackson, Brynlee, Luke and Ava.
