Clyde was born on September 12, 1965, at the Albia Hospital to Bo "Clyde" and Diana (Bonnett) Gullion. He grew up attending school and graduated from Twin Cedars High School with the Class of 1983. Following high school, Clyde went to work as a steel worker for Weitz where he became a supervisor and worked all over the United States. He was also a member of the Millwright Union.
Clyde enjoyed being outdoors and riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle. He had a large garden where he grew pumpkins, watermelons, and muskmelons among other produce which he often canned. He was an excellent cook and enjoyed smoking and barbecuing. Clyde had many collections, including coins, cookie jars, and mason jars. He enjoyed harvesting honey from his bee hives. He was very generous, had a heart of gold and was always willing to help anyone in need. He loved to visit with others and never knew a stranger. Clyde loved his dogs, Harley and Davidson. Above all else, his true passion in life was spending time with his family and friends.
