Fred, the Lord heard our prayers to make you His.  You answered the call and accepted Him as your Lord and Savior. We are comforted knowing we will see you again at the resurrection.

 

Mr. Carlton Frederick McClerking known to his friends as "Mac" was born on May 18, 1961 in Benton Harbor, Michigan.  After a long illness, he transitioned on Sunday, October 15, 2023 at Centennial Hospital into eternal life with our precious Lord. 

 

He was educated in the Tennessee Public Schools.  He was a Pittsburgh Steelers football and University of Michigan football fan. You want to have a high energy discussion say the Titans and Cowboys will beat the Steelers. He would say you must have fell on your head.
