Clarence Truitt

Clarence Truitt, 79, a lifelong resident of Pasadena, MD, died unexpectedly on Friday, September 22, 2023, in Pasadena, MD.

He was born on May 5th, 1944 in Pasadena, MD to the late Clarence Truitt and Inez Truitt. Clarence was in the Glen Burnie High School class of 1962. In 1972, he married the love of his life Kathleen Truitt (Rey). Together, they happily spent their lives raising their two children. 

Clarence honorably served in the United States Army during Vietnam, receiving the Purple Heart. He worked as a diesel mechanic all his life, considered this his favorite pastime, last working at Superior Carriers. He belonged to American Legion Post 40 in Glen Burnie, MD and spent time at the VFW. He enjoyed classic cars, specifically showing off his son's 1988 Ford Mustang and his 1930 Model A. Occasionally, he attended Lost in the 50's Car Club shows with one of these cars. If you drove by his yard, you could find him on his lawnmower or in the garage. He was never too busy to stop and chat.

In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his wife Kathleen Truitt (2016); son, Michael Truitt (2016); brother, Joe Truitt; and sister, Dorothy Rey. He is survived by his daughter, Kelly Rush; son-in-law, Dave Rush; grandson, Benjamin Rush; his beloved dogs, "the girls," Trixie and Annie; and brother, Alfred Truitt. His immediate family will truly miss him, as well as many extended family members and friends.
