He always supported his Texas teams while watching college football and March Madness basketball. In retirement, he enjoyed coaching Upward Bound Christian youth basketball, and Senior Olympics competitive swimming. Clint grew up in the Garden Oaks area of Houston where he attended Baptist Temple Church. He met his wife of 40 years, Barbara, at Second Baptist Church of Houston, and they later were members of Tallowood Baptist Church. Clint was preceded in death by his parents, Howard and Louise Parsley, and by sister Janet Parsley, and brother Frank Parsley. He is survived by wife Barbara, and brother Lee Parsley.
