Clyde Elliot Kirkpatrick

Clyde, younger brother of Lee Kirkpatrick, father of Amy Aldworth and Kevin Kirkpatrick and Lisa Webb (deceased). Uncle to Kristen Stieffel and Brian Kirkpatrick. Son of Phyllis and Kingston Kirkpatrick, (deceased).

Clyde died suddenly in hospital after a four day illness. Clyde was an artist, painting in watercolor and playing guitar. He owned a screen printing business for many years in Santa Barbara, where he also sang barbershop. He organized the first meeting for what would become the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum. He was an excellent small wood boat builder, particularly the cedar strip canoe.
The past several years he and his wife Sharon have been doing mission work in Belize with Clyde teaching art and music to needy children.

Clyde was a loving, kind, artistic friend to all, easy going, a regular good guy! He will be missed.
