John "Lee" Clare

John “Lee” Clare, 50, of San Angelo went to be with the Lord on Friday, September 17, 2021. Lee was born April 23, 1971, in Denver City, Texas to John Brit Clare, Jr. and Jackie Trucene Crowder Clare. He grew up in Denver City, Texas and graduated from Denver City High School. After high school, he attended heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) school in Arizona and graduated from there.

Lee worked for several companies in Denver City, Lubbock, and Austin before settling in San Angelo and establishing Clare’s Heating and Air Conditioning – Commercial Refrigeration LLC. Lee married the love of his life, Crystal Louise Murray on January 27, 2012, and they shared many beautiful years together and were raising four children. He was a loving son, brother, husband, and father who devoted his life to his Savior and his family. Lee was extremely proud of his wife and children. He loved taking an active role in coaching football, basketball and baseball on his children’s teams. In his spare time, he enjoyed reading his bible, going to church at PaulAnn Church and being at the lake. If there was a definition for “heart of gold”, Lee would be the description. He was the most genuine person and would do anything to help out in any situation. His smile was contagious, and his hugs put you in a place of such peace and comfort. Beauty is what he saw in everything, always looking for the good in any situation. His children and wife were his world as he was theirs. His advice to everyone was God, Family then Work…. And that’s what he lived by. Lee’s strong faith in the Lord and his tremendous love of his family will live on in our hearts forever and we will dearly miss him! He was preceded in death by his father, John Brit Clare, Jr., his brother, Todd Brit Clare and his sister, Darla Jean Clare.

Lee is survived by his wife, Crystal Clare, of San Angelo; 5 children; Karagan, Tatem, Slade and Preslee, all of San Angelo, and Victoria of Lubbock; his mother, Trucene Fort and her husband, Clyde, of Madill, OK; his sister, Kim Clare, of Hobbs, NM; his Mother-in-law, Flossie Flores and her husband Wayne, of San Angelo; his Father-in-law, Chris Murray and his wife Gina, of Brady, TX; his sister-in-law, Miranda Galvan and her husband Armando, of Christoval, Tx; his sister-in-law, Logan Murray, of Dublin, TX; and numerous nieces and nephews, Aunts, Uncles, other family members and close friends.
