Clyde R. McCauley

November 24, 2019

Clyde R. McCauley, age 90, passed away Saturday, November 16, 2019. He was born July 27, 1929, in McDavid, FL and lived nearly his entire life in Pensacola. A Korean War vet he was proud of his army duty. He retired from NAS Pensacola 35 years ago. He remained active with fishing and golf until fairly recently. He coached Little League Baseball for many years which resulted in dozens, if not hundreds, of young boys becoming outstanding young men. As one of few living “Brownsville Boys” Clyde developed relationships that lasted decades. His quiet leadership and more importantly his walk with Christ, his Lord and Savior, has left a legacy to friends and family that will live forever.

He is survived by his wife of 64 years, Jean McCauley of Pensacola; daughters, Jane Bonelli (John) of Pensacola, Joan Miller (Joe) of Cairo, GA and Suzanne Vickrey (Kevin) of Molino; sons, William McCauley (Teri) of Franklin, TN and Randy McCauley (Stephanie) of Molino, FL. He is also survived by 12 grandchildren, 27 great-grands & four great-great-grands.

In everything Clyde did, whether it was working, coaching, fishing, or golf he did so to the best of his ability and with joy and a smile. Known by many names: “Slick, Rock, Popsie & Papa” were among a few. He cared for his family, extended family and friends with unmeasurable love which was returned to him by all. He was a hero in the truest sense of the world.

Services were held Tuesday, November 19, 2019, at Myrtle Grove Baptist Church.

Interment was at Bayview Memorial Park Cemetery.

Faith Chapel Funeral Home South is entrusted with the arrangements.
