Clinton Hawkins III Program

Don’t be afraid, because I am with you. Don’t be intimidated: I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you. I will support you with my victorious right hand. I SAIAH 41:10 C LINTON H AWKINS III, was born in Dallas, TX. He was the first-born son to Alison and Clinton Hawkins Jr. and was known to many as “Tre”. He began playing baseball at age 7 for the Dallas Angels Youth, a select baseball team. Baseball was his passion for many years, he went on to play for the Carter Cowboys and then later at Mountain View College. He was a proud Native American and a member of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe of South Dakota. He was immensely proud of both of his Native American and African American heritages. He loved playing dominoes with his family, videos with his bother and father, and watching movies and comedy tv shows. He would spend time with his brother Bradley listening to music and catching up with his daughter Chloe’s daily activities. He had a passion for cooking and loved to make you laugh. He is survived by his daughter Chloe’ Hawkins, his brother, Bradley Hawkins, parents Alison and Clinton Hawkins Jr, his nephew Bradley Hawkins II (LilB) and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Lessons They said one of the main thing’s dads provide are Life Lessons Now that I think about everything he did had a secret message Today I will share a few lessons I picked up Lesson #1: Smile even if the sky is gray Anyone who knows my dad knows he would always smile even on his worst days. I know that is hard especially in times like these. But you should seize every moment because life is not a guarantee. Lesson #2: Judge no one

My dad never saw less than or more than, he only saw equal. That’s the thing he always brought out, the good in people. He listened to everyone’s story with an unbiased ear. So, it was so easy to confide in him with no fear. I hope one day we could all do the same.

Because sometime life’s like an ocean sending big waves to make you fall. My dad was a fighter never knew the word NO. So, if something knocked him down he would get up and give it another go. As he looks down on us today, he says Mom and Pops, be strong it’ll all be ok. Brad keep your head up it’s gonna be ok. Chloe be the strength we all need because we all know all that toughness came from me. As I close this out, I’m sure you all know that my father Tre’ will be missed dearly by everyone here and sometimes the absence of something so comforting and familiar causes fear. But don’t be scared or sad or mad

Just think of this as a see you later and not as a goodbye. I love you dad and you will be in our memory forever. Chloe Hawkins, Loving Daughter

The family wishes to express their sincere gratitude to all those who have supported us during this time of loss. Whatever was the kindly part, we thank you so deeply. - The Hawkins Family
