Obituary published on Legacy.com by Gray Memorial Chapel & Crematory on Jan. 19, 2026.
Clyde L. Irons passed away Sunday evening, January 18, 2026, surrounded by his loving family. A celebration of life will be Tuesday, January 20, 2026, at Bethlehem Baptist Church, County Line Road, Gordon, Georgia 31031. The service of life will begin at 12 noon, with a visitation for family and friends one hour prior to the service at 11AM. The Reverend's Steve Ard and Thomas Graham will officiate.

Clyde was born on, April 24, 1929, to the late Clinton and Lillie Ann Farley Irons. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, Marrail Irons, sisters, Agnes Irons, Loyce Brooms, Shirley Goguen, and Janice Schmidtlein.

Clyde was a heavy equipment operator and enjoyed his work no matter where it took him. He enjoyed a good prank and loved to laugh. He had joy in everything he did. He loved life, people, and he loved his church family. Clyde's memory and legacy for his family will be his unconditional love, but most of all he loved his Lord and Savior.

Clyde is survived by his wife of 60 years, Joann, his children, Randy (Margaret) Irons, Robin (Rex) Balkcom and Rachel (Thomas E.) Graham, five grandchildren, 11 great grandchildren, and one great, great grandchild.
