Clarence attended Jersey Village High School and later pursued his studies at Sam Houston State University.

He devoted more than 30 years of his life to education, serving as a teacher and counselor with both Fayetteville ISD and Giddings ISD. Clarence was deeply committed to helping students reach their full potential and continually emphasized the importance of learning, character, and personal growth.

Faith and education were central to Clarence’s life. He lived his faith through kindness, service, and compassion, always ready to lend a helping hand and offer encouragement to others. A natural caregiver, Clarence found purpose and joy in supporting those around him.

He was known as a detailed and organized individual who found joy in both structure and creativity. In his

free time, Clarence enjoyed gardening, farming, playing musical instruments, writing songs, and thrifting. He also had a lifelong love of searching for petrified rocks and fishing with his grandsons—moments that brought him great peace and happiness.

Clarence was preceded in death by his grandparents.

He is survived by his parents, Clarence Sr. and Ora Nell Mahlmann; his sons, Michael Mahlmann (wife Candice) and Jonathan Mahlmann (wife Tiffany); and his beloved grandchildren, Lukas, Ethan, Mason, Nathan, Nolan, and Madilyn Mahlmann.
