He was born on Feb. 16, 1965, in Independence, Mo., but later moved to the Schell City and Nevada, Mo., areas. He graduated from Nevada High School with the class of 1983, where he played football, wrestled and was part of the infamous “Brothers’ Pig” group.

Clint graduated from Southwest Missouri State University in 1988 and was a member of the Delta Sigma Phi Fraternity. He spent his professional career in sales where he was said to be a “top producer with an outstanding leadership record.”

Clint is survived by his beloved daughter, Caroline Newby, New York City; his parents, Tom and Joyce Newby, Nevada, Mo.; Blanche and Danny Williams, Nevada, Mo.; brothers Russell (Mary) Newby, Republic, Mo.; Waylon (Gayla) Balk, Walker, Mo.; sisters Charlotte (Billy) Moody, Joplin, Mo.; Tera (Jason) Elliott, Erie, Kan.; along with a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and dear friends. He was preceded in death by both his maternal and paternal grandparents and stepfather, Terry Balk.

Clint will be remembered for his love of the St. Louis Cardinals, Kansas City Chiefs, and hunting migratory birds, but above all, the love and pride he had for his daughter.
