Roderick Clark Hi Five Funeral April 23, 2022, Waco, Texas by Julia Barrera.

Join me as I attend the funeral of former Hi Five member Roderick Clark, who passed away recently. As Hi Five's assistant road manager and school tutor when "The Kissing Game" first hit #1 on the music charts, I had the privilege of working with Roderick and witnessing his incredible talent up close. This video is a tribute to his memory and his contributions to the music industry.
Please note that no part of this video may be copied or reproduced without the verbal and written consent of Julia Barrera of San Antonio, Texas, through attorney Roy R. Barrera.
Additionally, I would like to clarify that there is a photograph depicted within the video that is actually of Shannon Gill and not Toriano Easely.
Join me as we honor the life and legacy of Roderick Clark and celebrate the music that touched so many lives. Rest in peace, Roderick.

This brother had the charm and charisma of the group. You can tell he was the heartthrob and many ladies looked for his smile. May he rest in peace I'm so sorry for your loss. May God help you through this time.❤

Pooh was usually reserved and laid back and I don't recall ever having issues with him. Thank you for spending time sharing your thoughts. Always, Julia Barrera, former Hi Five Tutor & Assistant Road Manager

Sleep in Heavenly Peace Roderick "Pooh" Clark. Peace, Comfort, Strength, and Grace to the family. Thank you for this memory.

You’re welcome. It’s the least I could do to bring closure to those who knew him. ❤️

I grew up listening to Hi-Five, God Bless the families of Roderick "Pooh" Clark and Tony Thompson as well as all those associated with the group including yourself @Julia Barrera thank you so very much for posting! Rest in Power to both of these Kings!!!

[@EntertainmentWay]

Thank you for your kind words. The circle of life can be humbling when we realize no matter what great accomplishments or activity we do, we’re all one day headed to the grave. Really makes one reassess what’s really important in life. Thank you for taking the time to write. 🌺❤️

That's awesome you got to get to know the guys personally and have a bonding relationship with them. Just saw that Roderick passed on which is a bummer my condolences to his family😥

Rip Roderick" Pooh" Clark his musical contributions with hi - five were the soundtrack of my youth and childhood I get happy memories everytime I listen to their early songs 🎵❤ rest in heaven.

Thanks so much for this footage!!

[@EntertainmentWay]

You’re welcome 🌺

[@TheNewgreatlife]

Thank you so much Julia for posting this video! It popped up in my recommendations. Up until now I didn't know if anyone had recorded any footage, but I had hoped so! I appreciate all of the rare Hi-Five footage you have posted this past year or so. I do want to point out though, that was Shannon Gill with them, not Toriano Easley. He joined the group during their 3rd album "Faithful" and is still a part of the current Hi-Five lineup today. He seems very loyal to the guys, even though he was a latecomer. He would've been a great original member of the group. Through the original dissolution of the group to the reformation in 2012, he's never lost touch with Marcus and Treston since 93. It would've been really nice if Toriano was here though.

[@EntertainmentWay]

You’re welcome! I wanted to get something out there ASAP after the funeral so Hi Five fans could immediately access in case they wondered about Pooh. And since I rushed, I apologize I didn’t proofread which is why after I created & shared the video, I realized the name mix-up. Thank you for sharing your feedback. It’s great to see such a caring community. Xoxo

[@TheNewgreatlife]

@@EntertainmentWay You're welcome! I do have a question for you if you can answer it. Do you know why Pooh never did any interviews these past 10 years or why he wasn't in the Unsung episode? It would've been so nice to hear from him. Do you think reliving those days was too traumatic for him?

[@EntertainmentWay]

Thank you. It hurt my heart when I realized Pooh lived longer in a wheelchair than he did walking yet he remained positive with such a drastic change. It’s also humbling when you realize how much we take for granted while others do the best they can with what they have left. Thank you for your comments. I appreciate them.

[@jasminefreeman2687]

Rip to Pooh & Tony. Do you have any footage of Tony’s solo performances? I’ve been looking everywhere to find a video

[@EntertainmentWay]

Hi! I don’t have any solo performance videos of Tony. The closest to that is when I filmed him going up the stairs to the stage and he began singing the intro to “Just Can’t Handle It” and it was just his voice. It’s in one of my Disney world videos. Thanks for writing! 😘🌺❤️

[@pngmedianews1942]

@@EntertainmentWay do you have any insight as to why Toriano Easly isn't in the current Hi-Five group or was in the one Tony Thompson later put together?

Rip to hi five Pooh and Tony the original group since the early 90 "s just keeping it real don't like watching videos of this cause it's really sad but this was my favorite 90"s group growing up this was a nice video and sometimes I sit back and think when Pooh and Tony birthday come up the new hi five members should go out and visit they grave for ever hi five ❤❤❤❤❤
