Clark left this earth on January 12, 2018, to be with the Lord and Savior. He was born in Monte Vista, Colorado, to Fred and June James and grew up in Glenwood, New Mexico. After a 30+ year career with Metropolitan Life as a sales representative and manager he moved on to Principal Financial Group and The Leaders Group. Clark had many loves including boating, gulf fishing, dancing, football, and good food, his insurance businesses and just plain having a good time. All of those loves are surpassed only by his love of God and his family: wife Judy, daughter Wendy, sister Colleen (Howard), grandchildren Chris and Bre and great grandchildren Nancy, Rowen, Jacqueline, Bella, Sophia, brother-in-law Chuck (Cindy), sister-in-law Beccie as well as those who had already passed: parents, sister Karen, brother Freddie, and faithful, fun, furry four legged Katie. Clark had many qualities and traits that endeared him to others. An engaging smile. A hearty laugh. An incredibly recognizable voice. Dependable. Best friend you could have. Thoughtful. Imaginative. Sometimes mischievous. Trusting and trustworthy. Never met a stranger. Fun loving. A Memorial service to celebrate Clark's life is Friday, February 2, 2018, at 3:00 p.m. at Guardian funeral home . In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Peewee's Adoption World and Sanctuary at peeweespaw.com.
