1977 - 2023
 Clarence O. Lykins II, 45 of Ona, WV, went home to be with the Lord on Friday, June 23, 2023 at St. Mary’s Medical Center surrounded by his family and friends. He was born on September 12, 1977 in Huntington, WV. He cherished and loved his family like no other. He is survived by his loving family, the son of Clarence “Bub” Lykins and Brenda “Midge” Lykins of Ona, WV; his sister and brother-in-law Angel and Thomas Schneider of Proctorville, OH; his very special niece and nephew Col and Maddie Schneider whom he loved to spoil. He is also survived by a host of extended family, friends, employees and clients. Clarence was a graduate of Marshall University. After graduating, he became the president of American Babbitt Bearing. After leaving ABB he started working at Partners Insurance and Financial Services in 2003, went on to making partner and then in 2016 becoming the agency owner and president. He was also the owner of Lykins Insurance, Hammett Insurance, and Tri-State Insurance. Clarence was loved and admired by so many people near and far. He loved and supported his community. He never met a stranger. He always had a smile on his face and he would go out of his way to make you smile whether he knew you or not. Clarence dreamed big and was not afraid to follow his dreams, and he encouraged others to do the same. His energy and love for life was contagious. He lit up a room just by walking in. Clarence loved to go golfing, fishing, being involved with race cars and spending time with friends and family. He loved to tell stories of his adventures and memories with others, he would have everyone in the room laughing at his stories. The family would like to thank the incredible medical team at St. Mary’s Medical Center for caring for Clarence and their family. In addition, the family wants to thank Donita Burns who was Clarence’s right hand in business and his second mom as he affectionately called her, for her devotion over the years and for her support during this difficult time.

You will so so so be missed. Missed with your smile always on your face and your willingness to make someone's day behind you line simply by paying there bill. You was the most generous person I've came across. I will miss your jokes, laugh and just everything you was. I didn't even know you but a couple years simply by being your cashier but felt like I have known you for a lifetime as well as my co-workers. RIP Clearance

I met Clarence on a trip with my husband to Puerto Rico while lounging at the pool. He was with a friend and the 4 of us hung out for a few days seeing the sites. Part of one of his adventures I suppose. We became Facebook friends for many years. My condolences to the family.

Clarence was truly one of the finest persons we have ever know and we are shocked and sorrowed by his passing. His friendly demeanor and professional business acumen are an example to us all. We loved Clarence and appreciated his friendliness, knowledge, and expertise in our business dealings. Our prayer is that we will be focused on cherishing his memory as we hurt because of our loss. The world is better today because Clarence was a part of all of us. Heaven is better today in spite of our loss. May God comfort us, his family and friends.
