Richard Clinton McWhorter was born on October 16, 1944 in South Eastern Ohio and went home unexpectedly to be with the Lord on June 14th, 2025. A man who selflessly served his country as a United States Marine in active Vietnam from 1965-1967. Unfortunately, we are not always prepared to lay those we love to rest in the way that they had wished. It was Clint's hope that he would one day be laid to rest at Minnich Cemetery, in Union, OH, the same cemetery his only son (Richard Clinton McWhorter II) was laid to rest several years ago. With this request, comes a large financial burden that no family can ever be quite prepared for. Clint leaves behind a wife of 57 years, (Shelba), a daughter (Tiffany) & her husband (Ronald). Clint also sadly leaves 4 grandchildren (one who he without a doubt greeted sweetly in heaven as he arrived, Rylee Jo), 8 great grandchildren, and numerous family & friends. The world lost a great man, but Heaven rejoiced as he entered.

It is the hope that we can raise enough funding to give this Marine the funeral and burial he requested and so very much deserves. Any funding that goes beyond the goal, will be used as extra support for his wife, Shelba, as she herself is not in well health and is unable to work. If you are not in a position to give, please feel it within your heart to share so we can reach as many as possible.

Funeral and viewing services were held in Jackson Ohio on June 23, 2025. Clint was laid to rest at Minnich Cemetary in Union, OH that same day. The family is still seeking donations to cover all remaining costs of funeral services, burial, etc. Donations can be made directly to GoFundMe, or can also be made in Clint's name directly to:

Lewis & Gillum Funeral Homes

No family should ever have to stress over the financial burden of death; with your help we can take a load off and allow them the grieve in a way they need to without worry.

To any and all who serve our country, we thank you graciously.
