Clyde A. Rush, Jr., 71, passed away Monday, March 19, 2018, peacefully surrounded by his loving family. He was born March 8, 1947, in Rockford, the son of Clyde and Julia Rush Sr. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend to all that had the chance to have known him. Clyde worked many years for Mott Brothers and First Supply. He was a man of many talents offering help and always putting others first. He was a simple man who loved tinkering on his car, singing karaoke (especially Elvis) and the start of baseball season as he was a huge Chicago Cubs fan. He is survived by his wife, son, daughters, granddaughter and caring family of brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews.

It's so hard to believe you're going to be gone a year. You helped me so much when Jackie left us. I needed you both so much when Larry left. I always knew no matter what, you were there for me. Just a phone call away. I Love You Big Brother.

So sorry to hear of Jr's passing. He was an amazing friend to my father, Luther Hafferty. He was always there to help him when he called and by far the best at Karaoke. He will be missed.
Saying prayers for you all.

How can it be? First Jackie, then You. How much more can we endure? It doesn't seem real that two of the most important people to me are gone without hardly a warning. I want to wake up
