Clinton Odell Crick, 72, husband of Marilyn Moore Crick, passed away in McLeod Hospice House in Florence on August 4, 2020, after a brave battle with cancer. Born March 4, 1948, in Kingstree, he was the son of the late Gorden Lee Crick and Virginia Harrington Crick.
Clinton grew up in Kingstree, graduated from Kingstree High School in 1966, then earned his Associates Degree in Automotive Service Technology from Daytona State College. Shortly after proposing to the love of his life, Florence Marilyn Moore Crick, Clinton enlisted in the United States Air Force, served in active duty, and was deployed to Sheppard Air Force Base in Wichita Falls, Texas. He later served at Luke Air Force Base in Phoenix, AZ, and then, during the Vietnam War, he was deployed to Johnston Atoll near Hawaii, and soon transferred to Shaw Air Force Base in Sumter, where his first son, Brandon was born.
After his military service, Clinton and his family moved to Stockbridge, Georgia, where he worked at The Hartford Insurance Agency as a steam boiler inspector. While there, his second son, Collin, was born. Clinton and his family moved to Belvedere, Georgia, and during that time he earned his Associates Degree in Business from Aiken Technical College.
In 1980, Clinton and Marilyn returned to their hometown of Kingstree with their young family, where Clinton purchased his father Gorden Lee’s business. Kingstree Laundry and Rental thrived under Clinton’s entrepreneurial drive and steadfast commitment to a tireless principal of devotion to his customers, employees, community and family. Clinton was a faithful servant in the Kingstree United Methodist Church for many years, where he served as a Trustee, on the Finance Committee, Staff/Parish Relations Committee, and as an Usher.
He loved his family with all of his heart, was always finding a way to help others, and “making memories” always brought a great big smile to his face. Clinton enjoyed spending time at the beach with his family and on the golf course with his friends.
He rarely sat still, never “burned daylight,” could fix anything, made the best catfish stew in the world, gave the best hugs, and never met a stranger.
Surviving is his beloved wife of 52 years, Florence Marilyn Moore Crick. He also leaves behind two sons, Brandon Gregory Crick and his wife Kristy Kinard Crick of Conway, S.C.; and Collin Wade Crick and his wife Betsy Clarkson Crick of Lexington, S.C. He was affectionately known as “Pop” by his grandchildren, who brought so much pride and joy to his life – Blaine Thomas Crick, Lindsay Elaine Crick, Hailey Elizabeth Crick, and Rebecca Harrington Crick. He is also survived by two sisters, Marilee Crick Morris and Doris Crick Duke, his sister-in-law, Carolyn Canipe Crick, and brother-in-law, Walter Everett Moore, III. He was predeceased by his brother, Dennis “Bill” Gorden Crick, and two brothers-in-law, Donald Morris and Kenneth Gene Duke.

Marilyn and the boys – my heart and prayers are of you. Clinton was one of the finest men I’ve know – always seeking to help others and with a smile on his face for all. I am so sorry for your loss and the loss of such a good person to the world.
Prayers are lifted for each of you; Marilyn, Brandon and Collin. Clinton was a Christian gentleman that treated all with dignity and respect. I thank God for his help and support during my tenure as a coach for Brandon and Collin. Blessings to all of you. My deepest sympathy.
So sad to lose a dear cousin. Praying for peace and comfort for Marilyn and the rest of the family

Marilyn, my sincerest condolences to you, your sons and family. You are in my thoughts and prayers for God’s comfort and strength during this difficult time.
What a blessing that the Crick and Clarkson Families were brought together through Collin and Betsy’s love and marriage!! Such a wonderful family!! We have had so many amazing times and trips together… Clinton was such a “ purely good man!!!!” Such deep love and care for his family .. and really anyone who needed a “helping hand!” After I lost my husband, he became even more important to our family…. Great Dad, Husband, and certainly a great “Pop” for Hailey and Rebecca…. I had never been to Pawleys without my husband, and Clinton and Marilyn took me over the causeway onto the Island.. didn’t want me to have to do that alone… Will miss him so very much.. Thanking God for his life and being able to be part of this Beautiful Family!! May our Great God put His Loving arms of Comfort around this family!

Marilyn and family, So sad for your loss. May God give you much strength during this most difficult time. We always enjoyed being with you and Clinton at many social functions. May God Bless you and keep you in his hands. Love Linda and Clark
So sorry for your loss Marilyn. You and your family are in our prayers
What a wonderful testimony of one whose faith in Jesus Christ guided Clinton in his marriage and family, his successful business and all his relationships of love and care. Now he is with his Lord and the heavenly family of God. He will be greatly missed; but his faithfulness will be passed on to many future generations.
We on earth have lost a beautiful person. God has certainly gained a wonderful angel. I will always remember my last shag dance was with Clinton at our class union. I will cherish that dance forever. God bless and comfort you, Brandon, Collin and families.
Marilyn, You are in my heart and prayers always. Earth’s Loss is surely Heaven’s Gain. May Holy Spirit Keep you wrapped in His great peace. Love to you and your family.
He taught me many life lessons. I am proud to say I am the man I am today because of him. I love you Pop. I won’t forget you.
