Clyde Leland Beveridge Jr. was born on December 20, 1946 in Des Moines, Iowa to Clyde Sr. and Caroline (Florer) Beveridge. He joined the Marines at a young age and fought for our country in the Vietnam War. Here, he would later earn his Purple Heart. His military career would lead him to participate in many military organizations, such as the Marine Corps League and the VFW. Clyde was a member of the VFW Post 8879 in West Des Moines, and he enjoyed partaking in parades with his fellow VFW Veterans.
Clyde also had many interesting moments happen throughout his lifetime, even being kissed by Ann Margaret at one point. He also was an avid fisherman, and his family remembers his love for eating good food.
Clyde was known for his big heart. He would help children and families in need by delivering Thanksgiving and Christmas food boxes, which would provide with food and clothing for the season. He also had an unconditional love for dogs and cats. Most importantly, he loved spending time with his family and friends, who will all miss him dearly.
Clyde is survived by his wife, Betty (Deford) Beveridge; his children, William Berner, Kelli, Blair, and Brian; his step-children, Donnie (Tressa) Bennett and Jolene (Jeff) Kinney; 14 grandchildren; and sisters, Mary Weiss and Carolyn Gaston.
