Clinton W. Francis, III

I feel a need to say something. SfC Francis made my transition from Fort Benning smooth and when I came across things that were uneasy he stood up for me. Got a chance to see him I guess around 2020 taking mom to her cardiology appt. I'm grateful I got to see him again and I thank him for his kindness and peaceful spirit. I pray he made something and somebody better I believe he did. I lift his family and all those affected by his passing up in prayer. Rest easy. Sfc.Francis

Still can't believe my Lil brother is gone, being that I feel I played a major part in him and my Lil sis K yetta betta,getting together, Love you baby & my God children,know you'll always got family right here in Hinesvilles GA. Fort Stewart Sfc Owens or just uncle O, Hugs & lots of kisses.

I was deeply sadden to learn of the passing of Clinton on today, as I was at the clinic for an appointment. He was indeed a people person, willing to help patients as they came into the clinic. To his family, God is all knowing and He is too wise to make a mistake. He is now resting in the sweet arms of Jesus. I pray that you find comfort in the life that Clinton lived and the legacy that he left for his love ones to follow. Keep trusting God, may the Lord richly bless you all.

My deepest condolences to the family. I met Clinton about six years ago at Columbus Cardiologist Clinic, he was such a nice man, always willing to go the extra mile to help a patient. I learned of his passing today, as I was at the clinic for an appointment. Mr. Francis will be missed by many. To his family, keep looking to God for the strength that you will need to face the dark hours ahead, and know with assurance that "Earth has no sorrows that heaven can not heal". My prayers are with you all, God's blessings be upon you!!

My Brother served our Country doing just what he loved. Serving others was his way in life. As he looked up and saw the smiles on faces he served you could tell he had no doubt that he faithfully adored the Lord. GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME.

Rest in Heaven My Brother! You will be missed!

My /G\ I miss the text and the fb chats allready Moma Hill is in shock also. She always said you were such a gentleman when I brought you over for Sunday dinner during Culinary Competition.Those Hawaii days were awesome. You rest easy bro we have the watch now God Bless your wife, children and family...The Hill Family

Clinton came to CCA shortly after I did in 2018. Although I left in 2020 I have many sweet memories of him. He made me smile when he called me Sunshine. We often sat together at luncheons and work gatherings He loved to jump out at me in the parking lot at work and scare the wits out of me and just laugh for hours afterwards. He was always disinfecting something and his time to spray Lysol was always just as I was coming out of the call room and I walked right into it. He was a kind soul truly cared about others. Although I haven't seen him since I left CCA he is someone I will always remember as good man & sweet human. RIP my friend. Love & prayers for those left behind ❤️

To The Francis Family, We give you our deepest condolences. Brian we love you all and we are keeping the whole family in our prayers.

My heartfelt condolences to Clinton's family. I pray God will hold you tight in the coming days and give you all peace. Clinton was so much fun to work with. Always smiling and keeping everyone laughing. Every time I pass by his desk I feel sadness at his loss. We all miss him so much and he will never be forgotten. Such a great guy! Much love to the family - Jodee from CCA

I met Clinton as Sidewinder. He was a good brother to me and very supportive. I can't believe he's gone. Your spirit, laughter and brotherhood will truly be missed. My deepest condolences and prayers for your family. May God hold you in his hands and comfort you as well as your family my brother.

We are never prepared for news like this. I have reread the obituary at least four times to ensure I had the right person. What a terrible loss to the Culinary Arts Team! Rest In Peace Dear Brother!!🙏🏾🙏🏾

Willie and I met through our wives who were coworkers and book club members. We connected immediately over a good Cigar. Willie became 1 of only 5 Friends I have in this area. We both enjoyed good cigars and got together occasionally to eat, smoke cigars and conversate. We would text each other all the time about cigars, Bourbon and food. I've been numb since I got the news. You will be truly missed, my only Cigar and Bourbon buddy in this area. My prayers and condolences I send to the Family. Ms. Francis the Lucas Family will be here for whatever you all need. Rest Easy My Brother /G\

I met SFC Francis in FT. Lee, VA. (2011-2014). Very nice and always smiling. This is heartbreaking to read and write about you. May you forever be remembered and prayers for your family and closest friends.

To the Francis family: we are praying that God gives you strength as you celebrate the life that has been lived. Clinton never met a stranger and in my time working with him at CCA he was also so happy and full of life, we talked about our Family, Food and Faith,he always had a joke to tell me to keep me laughing. May God keep you as you rest in Him my brother, Clinton we will always love you for who you were to so many people. Our Friend. 2 Thessalonians 3:16 Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. Your CCA buddy, Lanitra

I first meet Francis in Baumholder Germany where we worked in the Dining Facility together. I had the privilege of making his and Kenyetta's wedding cake. Over the years we may have been sent to different places but I still considered him a friend. He will be missed by all. Kenyetta our prayers will be with you. David Yonts

Then you talked about my bike. Lol. And when I went down on my bike you told me that I had to get bike on it and ride. And I did.. you have always been there for me. You are an amazing man and I will miss you so much. Yetta the love you too have showed every time I saw you too. May God continue to bless your family and ease your pain. I love you and I love him.

I meet Francis back in Baumholder, GE where we use to hang out and cookout on the grill and play dominoes. I remember when you two first met and from there you two where inseparable. We all had a blast just hang out in the Rock. He was truly one of my Brother/G\. You will be missed until we meet again FAM.

I did not work with Clinton long but he absolutely made me laugh when he laughed. It was infectious! He always had a smile on his face and loved to play jokes on people. His CCA Family misses him dearly and no one will be able to replace his smile, laugh and personality. Prayers for the Francis family during this difficult time and in the coming days. Heaven gained another Angel and I know he will be watching over you. Love and Prayers, Tara Paul
