Clinton Detweiler Has died...
It is with great sadness that I am reporting that Clinton Detweiler passed away today due to a massive heart attack. His daughter Joy had contacted me on behalf of her mother Adelia and Adelia wanted to let the vent community know of this great tradgedy. Information is still sketchy, but from what Joy told me Clinton was working on the computer. When Adelia checked on him he was slumped over the keyboard. It was very quick. I'll keep you all in the loop as information comes in. Let's keep Adeila and the family in our prayers. Mark markwade@kidshowvent.com |

Thanks for letting us know Mark. What a huge lose for the entire Vent community. Clinton will be sorely missed as one who always had a kind word for anyone who needed one.

Missed is right, I'm already, as the news is sinking in, missing him, missing his blog that I always read every day.....

Oh, God, I'm shocked. I was just signing on here to announce that I'd registered on line for the ConVENTion honoring Clinton. I'm so, so sad. He was an extraordinary man. A true mensch.

So sad.
He sent out a mass email at 6:00 AM this morning about a figure that needed a good home. |

And he was found slumped at the computer - how, what? is "fitting" the word? - if that was the last thing he did, sending out that mass email to find a deserving young person for that figure.

Someone needs to mint the Clinton Detweiler coin.

I am so sorry to hear this.
I owe so much to Maher Studios and the Detweilers. My thoughts and gratitude go to out to his family.. I never met Clinton in person, but he was always a joy to deal with when Maher was in operation. He went WAY too soon.. |

I never met Clinton in person but he was my friend through email. He was also my mentor for ventriloquism and figure building. I received so much encouragement from him. I also got so many good deals from his book store. I also won a talking peanut doll when he was doing the give aways on his website. He was always approachable and made time to answer all of my questions. I would always send him pictures of my figures and he would give me feedback. I will miss him greatly.

I have know clinton for a number of years and he will truly be missed. His legacy will be that this art moved from near extinction to a more healthy state because of the Maher course being kept alive. All ventriloquist owe him a note of thanks for his contribution to this art. Keep his family in your prayers as I know he did not suffer and he is now in a place of glory.

I just saw this news on Ventriloquist Central. I am shocked and so sad to hear this news. I began corresponding with Mr. Detweiler back in 1982, and my last correspondence with him was just a few weeks ago. He was always helpful and gracious. His passing is a great loss to the vent world. My heartfelt condolences go out to Mrs. Detweiler and the entire Detweiler family. Rest in peace, Mr. D. You have truly earned it.
