Clinton Miles Banks

Clinton Miles Banks, 59, of Madison, Virginia, passed away on Friday, March 6, 2026, at the University of Virginia Medical Center. Born on September 22, 1966, in Albemarle County to the late William Briscoe Hill and Odessa Mae Fuller, he spent his entire life in Madison County, where he was well known and deeply respected throughout the community. He attended Madison County schools and later became self-employed, working for many people across the surrounding counties. He also worked with ServiceMaster Cleaning, maintaining several office buildings. A hardworking man, Clinton was always willing to lend a hand to anyone who asked, and through his efforts he helped not only those he worked for but also others who labored alongside him.

Outside of work, Clinton found joy in life’s simpler pleasures. He loved fishing, eating crabs, cheering for his beloved Washington Commanders, cooking on the grill, and spending time with family. His greatest happiness came from being with his children and grandchildren, who were the center of his world.

He is survived by his loving wife, Carolyn Mae Banks of Madison; three sons, Anthony Jasper (Dana), Jonathan Jasper (Alexis), and Jordan Jasper (Katlin), all of Madison; three daughters, Tracey Shifflett of Charlottesville, Latasha Shifflett of Charlottesville, and Davanna Truitt (Dylan) of Locust Grove; one brother, Timothy Banks (Doreen) of Charlottesville; four sisters, Teresa Banks of Madison, Mattie Payne of Madison, Janet Frye (William) of Ruckersville, and Karen Marriner (David) of South Hill; one aunt, Annabelle Hill of Barboursville; 18 grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, and many cousins, step-siblings, extended family members, and friends.
