Clarence William Triplett, of Lenoir, North Carolina went to be with his Lord and Savior on Thursday, July 2, 2026.

Clarence was born on February 13, 1948 in Wilkes County, North Carolina to the late Perry Ray and Nellie Arnette Triplett.

In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his brother, Perry Ingram and sister, Debra Ingram.

Those left to cherish his memory include his beloved wife, Tammy Triplett; daughter, Callie Trivette and husband Andy; son, John Earp; brothers, Gary Triplett and wife Lucille and Barry Triplett and wife Linda; sisters, Brenda Teeters and Wanda Coffey and husband Boyd; grandchildren, Ella Trivette, William Trivette, Megan Hicks and husband Billy, and Lakyn Earp; numerous nieces and nephews, as well as his church family.

Above all, Clarence loved the Lord. He was a member of Piney Grove Baptist Church for over 20 years, where he proudly taught Sunday School and led others to salvation in Jesus. Clarence served his country as a member of the United States Army in Germany during the Vietnam War, where he was considered an exceptional cook.

Clarence was an amazing man. He loved his family with all his heart, and they loved him right back just as much. He had a green thumb. There was nothing he could not grow, and animals loved him. He attracted them from everywhere, and they became his beloved pets. He will be remembered as a faithful and good servant to the Lord, an amazing husband, a loving father, and a doting Pawpaw.

A memorial service to honor the life of Clarence William Triplett will be held on Wednesday, July 8, 2026 at 2:00PM at Greer-McElveen Funeral Home with Pastor Brent Dula officiating.
