In Loving Memory of

Clyde A. Janes

Clyde A. Janes was preceded in death by his parents, Marge and Ervin Janes, and two of his four children, Arther Jay and Sarah Nichole Janes, whom he carried in his heart every day.

Clyde is survived by his wife, Nona Gay Warren. He is also survived by his two children: his son Ben, and his daughter Michele.

Clyde was a man of deep interests in history and all things sports. While golf was his greatest passion, Clyde could spend hours watching anything from tennis to track, from curling to badminton. If it was a sport, Clyde was in. His loyalty ran even deeper when it came to his hometown. The Pasco Bulldogs, especially the high school football team, held a special place in his heart. Any team that came out of Pasco had his full support—every cheer, every frustration, and every moment of pride.

Clyde loved books, reading, history, and genealogy. He collected stories from the world and the people around him, always with curiosity and respect. Photography captured his imagination, and cooking brought him comfort and connection to important parts of his past. His love of good food likely began on his mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Georgia. Southern food and country music sang to his soul.

Clyde's heart was especially tender when it came to his dogs. He adored them all, each one a companion who brought him joy, comfort, and unconditional love.

He had a quirky sense of humor. Clyde would meticulously cut comics out of the newspaper, creating his own comic books—anything that tickled his funny bone. He was a collector at heart: sports memorabilia, books, records, coins, die-cast metal cars… and above all, golf balls. Golf wasn't just a hobby; it was a true passion woven into the fabric of his life.

Clyde was also a gifted storyteller—a man who could turn even small moments into rich, unforgettable tales. A whole chapter of his life was spent as a librarian of historical artifacts and genealogy living above a mortuary in the heart of San Francisco, a setting as unique as he was. It suited him—a man who found wisdom in the past, humor in the present, and meaning in the things that brought him joy.

He will be profoundly missed.
