The Bible speaks to who a godly man is - and that was my dad - a man who loved his God and tried to live the example for those he knew and loved. The joy of his life was his family - he was happiest when surrounded by them! He was a fair, honest person who taught his children well. No husband was luckier to have such good help-mates, no child luckier than his 5 - who knew the big shadow he cast and that he was larger than life, and his many, many grandchildren, great grandchildren and that little tow-headed great, great grandson.....we all felt the same measure of love. All who knew him respected and loved him.....he was a good man, a good friend, a good husband and an awesome father. Our hearts are heavy but we know he rests in the peace of the Father and we will see him again some day. Rest dad, you earned it! We love and will miss you.

May you find comfort in knowing that many prayers are being lifted to our Lord for you and your family in the loss of your father. May you find comfort in the security of our Lord's arms.

If you were to look up dad in the dictionary it would say Clyde dye what a wonderful human being ! We spent many precious times if you knew him you were blessed God bless you dad ! We hope to see you again !

So sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you.

Jo, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. It's never easy to lose a love one, but you will always have all those wonderful memories.

You have our deepest sympathy as you mourn the loss of your loved one. We never knew Mr. Dye, but knew and worked with some of his children at Baxter Regional Medical Center. Judging by the work ethic and wonderful personalities they exhibit, their parents did a good job! We know you will share tears, but also a lot of warm memories of times shared as you look back. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

Clyde was a good friend to Dad, Arvel, Hughes. We will miss him. God bless his family.

Grandpa my hero, my world I love you dearly and already miss you so much. Glad you aren't suffering anymore and you are rejoicing in heaven. I cherish every memory and picture I have of you. See you one day again. Love you

My sympathy at this sorrowful time. Prayers for all family members

Mr Dye gave me work when I moved to Mountain Home 34 years ago. A kind man. With all due respect. RIP

I am so sorry to hear of Clyde's passing. May you find peace in the Lord at this trying time. Blessings to the family.
