Clyde Stafford Hamrick's Obituary
Clyde Hamrick Sr., 79, of Spotsylvania County passed away Monday April 11, 2022, followed shortly after by his wife of 55 years, Joyce Noel Hamrick.
He joined his son Marvin Hamrick Sr, and grandson, Jeremey Hamrick in heaven. He is survived by his brothers, Bruce Hamrick (Barbara) and Wayne Hamrick (Janet); his children, DeAnna Hill, Sherril Snyder (Robbie), Ronnie Chewning (Theresa), and Clyde Hamrick Jr. (Amanda); his grandchildren, Randy, Brandy, Crystal (Richard), Ashley – Peeka (Jacob), Marvin Hamrick Jr (JR) (Emily), Travis (Mary), Courtney, Katelyn, Madison, Rory, and Erin, and his great-grandchildren, Scarlett, Camden, Lily, McKayla, Addison, Colton, Jaxon, Alivia, and Miranda.
Clyde loved serving his country. As a sergeant in the United States Army, he served as a tank commander and later as a SAPPER trainer with the Virginia National Guard. He went on to have a 40 + year career at Virginia Department of Transportation, retiring as a Chief Inspector.
He loved crossword puzzles, trying to fish, and taking care of his dogs, and yard. He was a NASCAR enthusiast, Redskins fanatic, and loved watching the games and races with his children and grandchildren. His greatest joy later in life was spending time with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, taking them to the car wash, spoiling them at the store, and going for ice cream.
