As a tribute to a beloved landscape contractor with hundreds of clients over the years, a lawn mower led his funeral procession from the Mortuary to the Cemetery.

Rev. Frank Jack Clabough of Maryville, Tenn. died October after a battle with cancer.

He mowed yards for a number of apartment complexes and along with dozens of other Blount County residential and business customers.

Over 17 or 18 years, Clabough probably had 100 or more customers for his mowing service, said his wife, Wanda L. Clabough.

In addition to being a contractor, he spent over his 42 years in the ministry .

While Clabough used a Scagg lawn mower, the procession to the burial was led by the Rev. Gillis Jackson of Maryville, riding his own lawn mower, a Toro Z Master.
