Inskeep, Clyde Roland Clyde Roland Inskeep, 88, of Rapidan, Virginia, passed away at Dogwood Village Senior Living, Orange, Virginia, on Thursday, January 1, 2015. Born in Culpeper County, Virginia, on October 6, 1926 to Bernard Inskeep and Beulah Yowell Inskeep, his most cherished pleasure in life was spending time with his large and extended family at the beloved family farm. A lifelong farmer, businessman and sportsman, he was instrumental in bringing the Bull Run Hunt to Culpeper County in the 1980’s. It gave him great joy to hear the cry of the hounds as he spent time with dear friends he made along the way. He would follow the hunt in his ‘command’ vehicle, many times having more success at finding foxes than the dogs, to the amusement of those riding with him. He will be remembered by his family and friends for his generosity, his willingness to work hard and play hard, his love of fun and his frequent laughter, which spread to all who were in his presence. Surviving Mr. Inskeep are his children, Janice Inskeep Willis and her husband, Werter, of Charleston, South Carolina, Clyde Roland Inskeep, Jr. and his wife, Paige, of Rapidan, Virginia, and Kelley Inskeep Johnson and her husband, Eric, of Keswick, Virginia; his grandchildren, Werter Larkin Willis and his wife, Martinique, Zachary Inskeep Willis and his wife, Jessica, Hunter Addison Willis and his wife, Mierka, Jason Andrew Inskeep and his wife Lauren, Julie Inskeep Steele and her husband Kemper, Christopher Bryce Johnson and Tyler Scott Johnson.; and his great-grandchildren, Sophia Willis, Madison and Audrey Inskeep, Cameron and Caroline Steele. He is also survived by his brother, Russell J. Inskeep and his wife, Hope. He was preceded in death by his parents, his wife, Louise Hitt Inskeep; and his siblings, B. Carlin Inskeep, James L. Inskeep, Helen I. Richardson, Beulah I. Lewis and Jessie I. Christensen. Graveside funeral services were held in Fairview Cemetery, Culpeper, Virginia, on January 17th with the Rev. Lanny Horton conducting the service. The family would also like to recognize and give thanks for the warm, compassionate, and loving care that he received during his stay at Dogwood Village Senior Living. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions should be made to Dogwood Village Foundation, 120 Dogwood Lane, Orange, VA 22960 or to The Bull Run Hunt, P.O.
