Clarence Taylor, son of the late Rushie B. Harold and John Henry Taylor, Sr., was born in Albany, Georgia on May 10, 1952.

He received his formal education in the Dougherty County School System where he participated in various school functions.

Clarence was profoundly devoted to his family and friends and would defend them to the bitter end.  He loved deeply, laughed often, and lived life to the fullest.  He was an incredible father, grandfather, uncle, cousin, and friend who would do anything in his power to help them.  He had a love for music and enjoyed sharing his "made-up songs" with anyone who would listen.  "Shank Bone" as he was affectionately called, was always upbeat and always had a joke or a song.  He was dearly loved and will be missed by all who knew him.
