Clinton Brian Hamrick

Clinton Brian Hamrick passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his family October 30, 2025, at the age of 90. Clint was born on June 8, 1935, to Owen and Genevieve Hamrick, the oldest of their three children which included Manley Hamrick and Nancy (Hamrick) Byers. Clint graduated from Webster Springs high school in 1954 then went straight to the Army where he served until 1956. Clint moved to Northeast Ohio in 1956. He worked at Lubrizol from 1956 to 1966, then worked at General Electric from 1966 until retirement in 1995. Clint married Sylvia Marie Byrd on November 29, 1958. They would have had 67 years of marriage this November. They have one daughter, one son who passed shortly after birth and six other sons born prematurely. Clint was a man of great faith. He was ordained as a deacon in 1974, and Clint and Sylvia were actively involved at Willoughby Baptist Church, Painesville Baptist Church, and currently a member of Trinity Church. Though his family will greatly miss him, they are comforted in knowing that he is in Heaven because of his faith in Jesus Christ. Clint's unshakeable faith has been an inspiration to many. A tragic accident took his father when Clint was 11 forcing him to take responsibilities at an early age. As a young man Clint was told he would not become a father. This could've made him bitter, but Clint remained faithful to the Lord and trusted Him. It is because of Clint's faith in Jesus Christ who died for his sins that he is in Heaven today, where he has been reunited with his sons and other believers. He would want you to know and experience the love of God and to have a personal relationship with Him. Clint's legacy of faith will be remembered for generations to come. Clint loved his family and others selflessly. Clint's greatest strength was his kind, patient and gentle way of offering help and encouragement to those around him. Clint loved spending time with his family and could always be found holding the newest baby at the family get together. Clint had a love for gardening that he shared with his sister and daughter. The area garden centers are going to miss him, please support them in his absence. Clint was a man a few words, but when he spoke, you wanted to listen closely because he would share some profound wisdom or something so witty you would laugh for days. Clint had a great sense of humor that will be greatly missed. Clint is survived by his wife, Sylvia Hamrick, sister Nancy (Ernie) Byers, daughter and son in law, Kim and Dave Kahoun. He was beloved Poppy to Kaley (Ryan) Wiet, David (Sarah) Kahoun, Emily Kahoun and Josh Lynch, Ryan (Carrie) Kahoun, five great grandchildren and counting, and also numerous nieces and nephews. Clint is proceeded in death by his son Richard Allen Hamrick, six prematurely born sons, his parents, Owen and Genevieve Hamrick and brother Manley Hamrick. Visitation to honor and celebrate Clint's life will be Monday, November 10 at Monreal-Srnick Funeral Home, 35400 Curtis Bvld, Eastlake, Ohio from 4 to 7 PM, with funeral service to follow.
