Hawley Clifton Klouse

Hawley Clifton “Holly” Klouse, 67, of China Grove, went to be with his Lord on Sunday morning, October 10, 2021, at Tucker Hospice House. He has won his battle over cancer!

Born July 4,1954, in Mecklenburg County, he was a son of Rachel Virginia Helms Klouse, of Gastonia, and the late William Hawley Klouse. In addition to his father, he was preceded in death by a sister, Virginia Ann “Gin” Klouse.

Hawley was a talented and well known auctioneer for more than 45 years, and was a faithful member of New Hope Independent Freewill Baptist Church.  Mr. Klouse was a hard worker who could fix any and everything. He was also a giver who loved helping others and would give you the shirt off of his back. A loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather and brother, he will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.

Family members left with cherished memories include his “Angel “, best friend, love of his life, and wife of 46 years, Lois Mullis Klouse; his much loved daughters, Melissa Klouse Coon (Mike) and Pamela Klouse Smith (Glenn); his 4 grandchildren, Andrew, Ethan and Abby Mae Coon, and Ashlyn Smith; brothers, Frankie and Billy Klouse; sisters, Kathy Kegley and Edith Allen; and numerous nieces and nephews.

The family will receive friends from 2:00-4:00 pm on Tuesday, October 12th at New Hope Independent Freewill Baptist Church, 555 Neisler Rd., Concord, NC 28025. Services to remember and celebrate Hawley’s life will begin at 4:00 pm in the church, conducted by Rev. Roger Bostic.  Private burial will take place at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, memorials in Mr. Klouse’s name may be made to the church.
