Clarence, better known as C.J., was born on March 26, 1950 in West Branch, Michigan to Clayton and Bernice (Pagel) Ewing. The family moved to Flint, Michigan and C.J. attended Flint Beecher High School where he played football for the Beecher Buccaneers. He graduated in 1968 and soon was drafted into the U.S. Army. He was immediately sent to Vietnam and assigned to the Combat Engineers. After discharge he enlisted in the U.S. Navy. Much of his service was spent on ships in the western Pacific Ocean. Eventually he was assigned to Merimar Naval Station in San Diego, California where he functioned as a counselor. After discharge he moved to Colorado where he trained as a truck driver. C.J. spent many years crisscrossing the United States for a variety of companies and hauling many types of cargo in all kinds of weather and terrain. During this period he continued to educate himself in nearby colleges. Eventually he returned to Flint and was employed as a financial manager for an organization that worked with disabled people.
