I just want to say what a tragedy this is. Clint is my Brother in law (Ex) but has still always been a part of our family and we all Love him dearly. Those who know Clint know how kind he was and in his 30's he suffered major strokes which really messed him up. He has had several mini strokes over the years as well. He has been homeless without anything, no money, no car, cannot work although he tried for years and his freind at the old Ridley's let him work there while he could. He did not want to be a burden, too much Pride for Disability so on his way he went gradually getting worse to the point of desperate. He broke into vacant houses to sleep when it was cold, he then broke into some places to get candy or something to eat then his breaking in turned into a felony.  He made his way to Arizona where he broke into some place, cannot remember and had a very long (90 minutes I think) standoff with police where he was suicidal. He was arrested and put on suicide watch. My little sister did her best to try and get the jails and court system to take care of him letting them know all this and more about this kind man and they did not seem to care so now he is at Peace. Know he leaves behind several people who Love him Dearly including my little sister and their 2 Boys who are 13 and 21. They LOVE him, we all Love him. Don't let this tragedy happen to others whom you love. The reason for this post is so you all know, Clint was a good man, not a Felon that deserved this....he could not help his mental condition. Just wanted you all to know he was NOT the bad guy they make it sound as though he was. Rest in Peace Brother Clint...enjoy playing ball with Buster and Sassy. We all Love you Clint. R.I.P. now.
