Obituary for CLYDE J. MACKALL
Clyde Junior Mackall was born May 12, 1948 to the late Clyde James Mackall and Alverta Mary (Gross) Mackall. Clyde attended and received his education within the public school system of Calvert County, Maryland. Clyde worked as a laborer and performed carpentry work for several construction companies during his life in Maryland and Washington, DC. On Monday, April 8, 2013, he departed this life at Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, DC. Clyde loved and appreciated his children and would talk to them when things were bothering them. He never had any reserve in giving them his opinion on things but he also let them know that he was proud of them. He stressed to them the importance of saving and spending wisely and also talked to them about his childhood while growing up in Battlecreek, MD. He talked about how his mother and aunts, although they did not have much, helped each other and looked out for one another. He enjoyed fishing, crabbing, car racing, collectible cars, baseball, softball and wearing a nice hat. When you needed a laugh, Clyde definitely knew how to make it possible and he had what you could definitely call a 'feistiness' and 'spunk' about him. In the bible, it says that children should honor their mother and father, and that is what his children did and will continue to do. His life taught his children that in life hard times can come but when they do, never give up despite what comes your way and you can make it through those hard times because GOD will never give up on you and he's always there for you. In 1970, Clyde married Judy Mackall (Morsell) and from this union they had four children; Lisa Mackall-Jones, Katina Mackall, Clyde Christopher Mackall, and Toby Mackall (Michelle). Clyde also leaves another son, Jamar Harrod; five sisters; Rosa Lee, Excella, and Carolyn Jones (Mackall), Laverne and Detris Johnson; eight brothers, Leroy, Kenneth, Troy, and Terrence Mackall, Lorraine, Tyrone, Vaughn, Cornell Johnson; two aunts, Celeste Mackall and Queenie Kyler; one uncle John Wesley Mackall, Sr.; eight brothers-in-law, Reginald Lane, Samuel Mackall, Craig Morsell (Francine), Lionel Morsell (Celeste), Thomas Morsell (Veronica), Ricky, Ronnie, and Kelvin Morsell of Sunderland, MD; six sisters-in-law, Virgie Williams, Lydia Brooks, Sharlyn Briscoe, Linda Wallace (Dennis), Allison Offord (Marco), and Angela Morsell of Sunderland, MD; two sons-in-Iaw, Laville Jones and Maurice Hill; nine grandchildren, Bianca, Kyra, Tiana, Karon, Ahmad, Mikayla, Toby Jr., Robert Jr., Thomas Harding; special friends, Mark Willett, Robert Gross, Monroe Gantt, Melvin White, Clifton Claggett, George Gross, Timothy Morsell, and a host of nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends. He was preceded in death by his mother Alverta Mary Mackall (Gross) and father Clyde James Mackall, one sister Mary Lane, and one brother James (Jimmy) Mackall.
