Clarence was born in 1945 in Seneca, KS to Clarence and Rose Ann Lierz. He loved to share many a story, both happy and not-so, about farm life as a boy, and these stories usually ended with "thank God we moved to Atchison when I was in 8th grade!"

After high school, Clarence moved to Kansas City to attend Rockhurst College, ultimately earning a MBA. He married Maryanne in the summer before his senior year and was drafted by the Army after graduation. He proudly served his country in Vietnam before returning to civilian life and spending most of his career as an insurance broker.

Clarence was an outstanding father and devoted husband, loved to travel and always looked forward to family vacations, especially if they involved an ocean! A loving son, brother, father and grandfather, he was preceded in death by his wife of 60 years, Maryanne, his parents, and brothers Donald and Loren "Larry" Lierz.

He is survived by his sister Rose Ann "Rosie" Brashears, daughter Jennifer Lierz, son Michael Lierz, daughter-in-law Jennifer Fort-Lierz and grandchildren Matthew and Andrew.

Dad, you will forever be in our hearts, and my God bless you and forever keep you close to His.
