He was raised in Omaha and later moved to Springfield, Missouri. After graduating from high school, he worked in the construction industry, doing drywall and carpentry skills.
He had an unforgettable laugh and a big personality. His nickname was “Preacher Man” because he had given his heart to God and wanted others to accept God, too.

Clark was always calm and relaxed. He had a free spirit about him. He loved to go fishing. He was talented at playing spoons. He was also a great story teller and enjoyed listening to music.
Most of all, he loved his family very much. Being with his grandchildren made him very happy and he attended their events as often as he could. Family was very important to him. Clark's faith in God, love for his family, and loyalty will be forever etched on the lives of those he touched.
