CLARENCE W. (Mutt) DAY
June 2, 2009
C. W. “Mutt” Day, age 83, was born May 25, 1926, to W. W. and Sarah Frances (Dean) Day in Ovalo, TX. He went home to be with the Lord on June 2, 2009. At the young age of 13, he was saved and then baptized in Jim Ned Creek near Ovalo. Following the example of his parents, he lived his life by his favorite scripture, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua 24: 15
Like many families in the era of his childhood, his family shared the joys and chores of farming. He grew up in a large, close-knit family consisting of 15 children and his parents. They were a loving family and remained close throughout their adult lives and were always ready for a competitive game of dominoes. As children, a spirited game of “Freeze-Out” with dominoes was often played before meal time to determine who got to eat first. With such a large family, there had to be two “seatings” to accommodate everyone.
Near the end of his school career, Mutt and his family moved to Union, TX, where he graduated from Union High School in 1944. His Ovalo and Union school friends were very important to him, and they often got together to reminisce. After graduation, Uncle Sa m came knocking and Mutt entered the U. S. Navy. He served aboard the U.S.S. Bennington, an aircraft carrier, as an Aviation Boatswain’s Mate GA, Third Class during W. W. II. He always said that he was proud to serve his country and to do his share. However, after the war ended and the Navy tried to get him to re-enlist, he told them that if it was his time to get out, he was ready to go home.
He went back to Brownfield, TX to join his family and to be introduced to his future wife, Coreen Jonas. Mutt led the music at a little Baptist church in Brownfield, and Coreen often attended with his sisters and niece. She caught his eye, and they were soon dating. However, Coreen was not a Christian at the time. True to his favorite scripture, he witnessed to Coreen, and she was soon saved. They were married on Aug. 30, 1947. Joining this family were Dwayne in 1948 and Teresa in 1952. Mutt and Coreen then raised their family following Mutt’s favorite Bible verse. The Mutt Day Family attended church together, prayed together and served the Lord together. He taught 5th grade boys Sunday School for years and sang in the church choir.
Mutt was employed by Phillips Petroleum for almost 40 years, beginning his career in 1947 in Hobbs, NM. He worked in various gasoline plants in Seminole, Goldsmith, Crane, Fullerton, Odessa and Andrews. He retired from his position as Gasoline Plant Superintendent at Sprayberry in 1985. Modeling a Christian life at work, he treated his workers with respect and made sure that they had the necessary tools to do their jobs effectively. Mutt had a world of knowledge about gasoline plants and mechanical maintenance. He was a key figure for the company when the cryogenic plants were first initialized.
C. W. “Mutt” Day was a member of First Baptist Church Odessa and will be remembered as a Godly, honest, hard-working, happy man who loved people. He never compromised his relationship with the Lord, nor his values. He loved to sing and whistle and always entertained his own children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews with his many bird whistles and singing. He loved his family and friends and will be greatly missed. However, we know he’s in heaven, once again a well man and free from the medical challenges and complications of MDS (Myelodysplastic Syndrome, a bone marrow disease) that he has battled for the last three years. For that, we give thanks and honor to God.
He is preceded in death by his parents; 7 brothers, Billy Jack, Henry, William, Pete, Wayne, Leo and Horace Day; 4 sisters, Dovie Day, Oceal Huffman, Dorothy Marsh and Doris Whited and one granddaughter.
He is survived by his wife of 61 years and 9 months, Coreen Day of the home; son and daughter-in-law, Dwayne and Sharon Day of Gardendale; daughter and son-in-law, Teresa and Ron Bryan of Odessa; grandson, James Day Gainer of Odessa; gra nddaughter, Amanda, Rodriguez of Gardendale; sisters, Bertha Marsh and Ruby Groves of Brownfield, and Wanda Lenderman of Tatum, NM; and numerous nephews and nieces, as well as his school friends and Phillips Petroleum friends.
Funeral services are scheduled for 10:00AM Friday, June 5, 2009 at First Baptist Church in Andrews. Rev. Charles Day, pastor of First Baptist Church in Tatum, NM, will officiate.
Internment will follow at Andrews North Cemetery under the direction of McNett Funeral Home.
Family visitation will be 6-8PM, Thursday at McNett Funeral Home in Andrews.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to your favorite charity.
