Clyde was born on July 27, 1940, in Rosenberg, Texas to Homer and Sophie Raesner. He was a 1958 graduate of Needville High School and later married his high school sweetheart, Peggy Walcik, on June 3, 1961. Clyde and Peggy spent many happy years together enjoying fishing, taking trips to rodeos, farming, working cattle, showing animals, dancing and being with friends and family. Over the years, the couple was blessed with the birth of 2 sons. His sons and granddaughter remember him as a kind, gentle, patient and fun loving father and Papa who was always supportive and there to help in any way he could. He taught the boys the joys of being outdoors hunting, fishing, playing sports, showing livestock and how to rope and ride.  He loved spending time with his granddaughter, Makenzie, teaching her about livestock and listening to George Strait Christmas songs in the Summertime while hauling hay.

Clyde was a generous and caring individual who loved his family and local community. He was an active and dedicated member of the Needville Youth Fair and Ft. Bend County Fairs, where he served on the board of directors, along with the Steer committees.
