This week, we received the news of Clarence's sudden passing after a sudden cardiac event that took his life. Clarence was just 44 years old, a loving husband, a proud father, and the kind of friend who made life brighter just by being in it. It's still hard to believe that it's even real that he is gone.

If you knew Clarence, you know he gave so much of himself to everyone around him. CB had his own special way of bringing light and joy into any room he entered. His smile was contagious, his laugh was loud and genuine, and he was the glue that kept so many of us in contact with each other for over 25 years. He was always singing, cracking jokes, and finding a way to make everyone around him feel good. His memories will continue to shine brightly through the stories and love he shared with all of us.

We have created this GoFundMe to help support the Bivens Family during this incredibly difficult time—to cover funeral costs and memorial expenses, and ease the financial burden as Ivory, Chloe, Nile, and Damian navigate life without their beloved husband and father.

If you are able to donate, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Please know that any amount is deeply appreciated. And if you can't, know that more than anything, we ask that you keep Clarence's family in your thoughts and prayers, and continue to honor his life by sharing the love and kindness he showed every day. Let's make sure that his love and laughter never fade from our memories.

Thank you for your love and support. Clarence's memory will live on in all of us.
