It is with broken and sad hearts, that the family has written an obituary for their "ornery old Daddy, and Brother", Claude Mullins.

Claude was born, March 12, 1949, in Myra, KY.  He passed away February 13, 2025, in Elyria, OH.  Making his stay on Earth, 75 years and 11 months.  He was preceded in death by his parents, Vilice & June, 1 brother, Clyde, 1 sister, Charlotte, his wife, Sandy, and grandson, Dylan.

He leaves to mourn his loss, 2 daughters, Brenda (Mike) of Monroeville, OH , Chrissy (Bryan) of Holland MI, 2 sons, Johnny (Laura) of Monroeville OH,  Michael (Jennifer) of Fremont, 11 grandchildren, 9 great grandchildren, 1 sister, Poochie (Redford) of TX, son in-law, George (Betsy) of Holland, MI, and 1 special shooting partner, Tiny (Dawn) McKinney.

Daddy was hard working and very dedicated. He spent 30 years working as a welder/maintenance.  Despite his many responsibilities, he always made time for his family and passions.

Dad's hobbies and interests helped define who he was.  He enjoyed bear hunting in MI, and at his cabin in Virginia with his brother Clyde and Uncle Andy.  Dad also enjoyed coon hunting, gardening, and fishing. He often spent his winter months in FL just so he could fish.  Dad was always ready to go fishing.

We find comfort in knowing that Daddy's legacy lives on through the lessons he taught us. The love he shared, and the memories we will cherish forever.
