Clarence "Slim" Cannon

2 Timothy 4:7-8

"I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing."

Clarence ‘Slim” Cannon

On January 21, 2019, our precious father, grandfather, and great-grandfather know to many as “George, Slim, Wolfman, and many other nick names” was carried away into eternity on the wings of the angles. He was preceded in death by his Mother Alma MeGee and Father Paul Cannon, his beloved wife Nancy Morefield Cannon, brother Walter Cannon, and faithful canine companion Droopy.

Clarence was born on March 1, 1940, in Lenoir, NC,  He married Nancy Mae Morefield May 12 ^th , 1973, after which he had witnessed the births of his five children Clarence Jr., Nancy, Eric, Luke, and Danny. Clarence was a devoted father and family man. He was a faithful member of the Church of Christ at the Rock Springs congregation, and taught Christ to all that he met, especially his family and friends.

He was a diligent worker and gave nearly 50 years to the furniture industry at Singer 50 and the Bernhardt Furniture Company in Lenoir, NC. He loved to help those in his community and his extended family, using his many talents in construction, plumbing, car repair, as well as everything else that was asked of him. He did all of this with a loving heart, never expecting anything in return and always looking for the next thing that could be done to help someone else.
