He was born on November 15, 1955, to Blanche Gardner Rodriguez and Clarence Charles Gardner. Clarence was a hardworking man who made his living as a truck driver. He was known for being funny, outspoken, and deeply caring toward others. He had a strong presence and never hesitated to speak his mind, but he also had a big heart for the people he loved.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Blanche Gardner Rodriguez and Clarence Charles Gardner; his former partner, Pamala Dixon, the mother of his children; his siblings, Laverne, Debbie, Carla, and Elaine; and his grandchild, Syheed Jr.
