In memory of Vernon Clemmons

When Vernon's corporate career ended, his daily commitment became to love and care for children. His new work was for his Lord and Savior, and he volunteered in the Spartanburg School District. Over a 10-year period, he counseled over a thousand students who needed guidance both academically and spiritually. Vernon led most of the kids he had contact with to Jesus Christ. If they didn't have a Bible, Vernon made sure he got one for them. These children never forgot him which is evidence of the positive, impactful influence that Vernon, better known as Papa, had on all their lives.

In memory of Vernon, who passed on April 26, 2023, at the age of 85 from pancreatic/liver cancer, the family is asking for donations in lieu of flowers. Your donations will be used to provide meaningful gifts to Pacolet Elementary School where Vernon volunteered and to Kitty Askins Hospice Center where Vernon passed peacefully.

All donations are considered Charitable Donations.

Funeral service will be held on Sunday, April 30, 2023 at 2pm at Jernigan-Warren Chapel in Fayetteville NC with interment to follow at Lafayette Memorial Park.
