AYERS CLARENCE BUBBA F., JR. Clarence Bubba F. Ayers, Jr., 52, went to be with the Lord on April 26, 2014. He was born in Pittsburgh and lived his formative years in Plum, PA, graduating from Plum Senior High School. Clarence graduated Magna Cum Laude with two B.A. from Kent State University and Summa Cum Laude with an M.A. from Spalding University and was finishing up a M.A. Ed. from Malone University. His goal was to combine his love of riding and training horses, with his love of teaching and working with children and youths. Amazingly, Clarence did this all while being visually impaired. He was an inspiration to all who knew him. Bubba was our Cowboy and he had the gift to minister. He faced all adversity with courage and grace. He was surrounded by his loved ones who witnessed the miracle of his soul crossing over to the Heavens above as a spiritual Warrior. Preceded in death by his father, Clarence F. Ayers, Sr. He is survived by his loving wife, Kimberly (Bryan) of 10 years; mother, Wanda B. Ayers of Lenoir, NC; sons, Jason, Allen and Christopher, all of Pittsburgh, PA; brother, Bryan (Wandie) of Church Hill, TN; sisters, LaVonne Davenport (Jamie) of Carthage, TN, Jackie Pearl (Virgil) of Humble, TX; aunt, Ola Watson (Tom) of Cuyahoga Falls; and many beloved nieces, nephews and cousins. Special thanks to Dr. Gurney and all the staff of Mercy Medical. A private memorial celebration of his life will be determined at a later date.
