Our beloved Cleve Kinard, 62, passed away peacefully on July 12, 2024 after a brief battle with cancer.
He is survived by his loving wife of 26 years, Lori Summerford Kinard, daughter Valarie (Adam) Thompson and son Bryce. His extended family includes grandchildren Emersyn and Blakely, sisters Linda Cartee, Joyce White, Ellen Bunch, as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins, in-laws and even a few outlaws.
