Rev. Clarence Everette Bosarge, Sr.

Clarence E. Bosarge was called home by his Savior on Wednesday, June 2, 2025. Clarence was an incredible man who loved Jesus with all his heart. As a devoted Christ-follower, serving the Lord in every aspect of his life was truly his first and foremost priority. That was evident in everything he did, but especially in the way that he LOVED his family! He was also a patriot through and through. Many of you witnessed the fact that he was beyond passionate about God, his family, and his country, and he worked tirelessly to make that evident. The impact that he has had in the State of Texas and in this nation cannot be overstated; however, he would tell you without hesitation that his family was his lifetime achievement and his greatest accomplishment. He was proud of every one of his children/grandchildren/great-grandchildren and never ceased to make every get-together special in any way that only he could. He developed little traditions with each of his kids in their childhoods and was sure to keep those traditions every time he knew he would see one of them! His greatest joy in the last years of his life was spending time with his grandchildren. Every one of them absolutely adored their grandfather, and he will be missed and loved for years to come! He went all in on any and everything that he did.

Clarence Bosarge was born on October 15, 1937, in Bayou LaBatre, Alabama to his father, Tarlton, and mother, Rosalee (Franks) Bosarge. He grew up in Freeport, Texas, and spent much of his young life in and around the area. His plan once he became an adult was to join the U.S. Air Force, which he accomplished for 7 years. Then, the Lord had other plans for his life.

After he got out of the Air Force, he met a very special young lady named Annie who would go on to change his life forever in the best way possible! They were married on July 4,1956, in a small ceremony at Annie's childhood home in Clute, Tx. They would go on to spend the next 65 years together. To the outside world, it would appear that Clarence was the one out there “saving the world.” But it must be noted, as he would have insisted, that he would have given up on life long ago had it not been for the incredible support, love, encouragement, prayers, and dedication from the woman who changed her name to his, Annie Faye Hanner.

He tried to get his foot in the door in several different industries, but nothing seemed to fit. They soon had a baby on the way, and he decided to settle in and buckle down. He would go on to become a successful manager of several grocery stores. Success is a relative term. It was successful by normal standards because he ran it like a ministry instead of like a business. He began to network and build relationships through this ministry as he continued to love and bless everyone around. He moved from a manager to the owner overnight and had that role and title in several ministries over the years that moved he and his now five children all over North and south Texas. They settled in Sweeny, Texas in 2000, and he would go on to find a ministry at Pentecostal Church of God. This ministry was his vision, his passion, his dream. More than that, it was his true calling from the Lord. Through this ministry, he and the many men and women who stood beside him and supported him, including his family, would go on to have an impact that is truly immeasurable.

Clarence was passionate about this ministry as well and loved to minister to our communities’ heroes through it. His family has asked that in lieu of flower donations be made in his honor to his GoFund me or contact the family to help with the cost of the funeral. Pastor Bosarge was a true leader and visionary in every aspect of his life.

He spent his life passionately devoted to his family, his country, and the truth of Christ.

He is survived by his daughters, Debra Adams and Husband Thom Adams, Brenda and Husband Derrell Cox, his sons Clarence Bosarge Jr Wife Lauri, Billy Bosarge, and Rodney Bosarge. He is survived by his 17 grandchildren, 43 great grandchildren, and 12 great-great grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his beautiful wife, Annie Bosarge.

Relatives and friends are invited to his viewing on Friday July 18th from 9:30 – 11 AM at C.T. Baker Funeral Home 634 S. Columbia Dr. West Columbia, TX. His funeral service will begin at 11 AM at the funeral home with Rick Martinez officiating. Interment to follow, with full military honors,  at Angleton Cemetery, Angleton, TX.
