Clarence Edwards Obituary

We are sad to announce that, on August 11, 2025, at the age of 86, Clarence Edwards (Texarkana, Texas), born in Mineral Springs, Arkansas passed away. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Clarence Edwards to pay them a last tribute.

As Clarence departs from our midst, his spirit ascends to join the cosmic dance of stars, a shimmering constellation of memories that will forever grace the night sky of the hearts of those who loved Clarence. Though Clarence may no longer walk beside us, his legacy lives on — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of time and space.

He is survived by: his wife Barbara Edwards; and his daughters, Kellie Dembicki, Cathy Gallen and Julie Ann Hartfield. He is also survived by many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

In lieu of flowers, the family encourages you to honor Tonk's memory by playing a jazz tune, attending a live show, or simply sharing time with loved ones—just as he would have done. If you would like to contribute in another way the family encourages you to donate to KTXK 91.5 FM NPR Think Radio for Texarkana.
