Clarence "Duck" Levy, Jr. earned his heavenly wings on Saturday, January 11,2025, peacefully at home.
He was born on June 7, 1930, to Clarence Levy, Sr, and Viola Collins-Levy both of Roanoke, La. His
passion in life was playing baseball, coaching, inspiring young men in the community, league bowling, and cooking.

In 1959, he married the love of his life, Bettye Jacko, and to this union one child was born.
Clarence began his career as a Veterinarian Assistant at Welsh Veterinarian Hospital, until being hired at
ExxonMobil where he worked until his retirement in 1989. He then enjoyed 36 years of traveling and spending quality time with the love of his life.

Once retired, he was elected to the position of City Councilman of District A #5, where he spent 16 years
advocating for the residents of the south side. He would refer to it as "Fighting for What's Right!" For
those 16 years he made every effort possible, to advance his community, by becoming a "Champion of Civil Rights."

During his years as City Councilman, he made many improvements in the community such as Obtaining
streetlights for poorly lit areas, Completed Garage Alley Project by having it hard surfaced along with
improving the drainage infrastructure, and ensured that there was a park in his own Lincoln Heights
neighborhood for the children who live there. He was also successful in procuring the maintenance of the cemeteries in District A.

Duck was a man about town always willing and ready to offer his time and resources. He exemplified
many selfless acts such as the community veterinarian, the chef specializing in frying turkeys for
Thanksgiving, and the community Uber driver just to name a few. All these things were done out of the kindness of his heart because of his love for the people in his community.

Clarence was a faithful member and served numerous years at Immanuel Worship Center doing all the
things he loved as he served God, and his church family. He was the van driver, the lawn keeper, and a
general "Mr. Fix It." He was also the creator of what's known to many as "Duck Juice" that he made not
only at church but for all occasions. He was affectionately known by his family as "The Church
Overseer." In October of 2023, his body began to weaken. He could no longer drive his beloved van around town,
visit his friends, or assist those that he so loved to help. Despite this set back, he remained jovial and never lost his quick wit.

He leaves to cherish his memories, his devoted wife of sixty-five years Bettye; daughter Deidra
(Raymond) Bates, of Manvel, Tx; daughter II- Lori (Kendrick) Morgan of Iowa Colony, Tx; his grandson
Michael Levy of Houston, Tx.; two great-granddaughters Jakari Cox of Dallas, Tx, and Solace Levy of
Richmond, Tx; along with a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.

Preceding him in death are his parents, one sister, and three brothers.
