Clark was also known by many as “superman”. His strong determination to fight cancer with a positive mindset as an eternal optimist throughout the journey helped him to beat the odds. Clark grew up boating and fishing with his family. He had many fond memories of lobster and fishing trips to the Florida Keys and Canada. He also enjoyed annual ski trips to Swiss Mountain Village in Blowing Rock, North Carolina with his daughters and grandchildren. Clark was an avid runner, competing in over 20 5K races and one half marathon. He was also a long standing member of the “Boo-Birds”, touring spring training baseball games throughout Florida.
Clark was a regular participant in many church activities including a men’s Christian life group formed more than twenty years ago to study scriptures, read devotions and to remind each other of the promises of God. Clark is beloved by all in the group. The memories of his friendship, his courage and his transformation live in each of them. Clark was also very involved with Family Promise of Brevard, where he was passionate in supporting that families have a safe place to call home. We are assured of Clarks ultimate healing and wellbeing as Clark is one in whom Christ dwells and delights.
Clark is survived by his mother, two sisters, two daughters, and five grandchildren. His memorial service will be held on March 11, 2023 at 11:00 am at Suntree United Methodist Church, 7400 N. Wickham Rd. Melbourne, Florida. Please join us in sharing memories.
