I was sad to hear about the sudden home-going of Mr. Clark. I remember him as a kind and gentle man with a sense of humor, and I appreciated how he welcomed me into their family’s home and even on their family vacation when I was a teen. Sending a hug to his dear family and praying that they’d sense the Lord’s nearness in this season of grief.

I’m so sorry to hear the news of Mark’s passing. Anytime I was at their house with Amber growing up he was always so kind and hospitable. They would always take us to youth group too! I know he was strong in his faith and I pray that gives all who knew and lived him so much comfort.

I so appreciated Mark’s love for Christ which governed his love for family & community. I fondly remember being in the 2:7 class with him & Becky. Praying that the God of all comfort will comfort you all.

"Stretch" was a gentle giant. I had the undeserved privilege and he the undeserved dire misfortune to work together during our illustrious careers at three different employers (General Foods, S.I.A. and Westminster Village). In all of that time, I only once ever saw him come close to losing his temper. As big as he was, that's probably a good thing. My sincere condolences to 'Becca, Amber and family, and Mark's siblings. The world is much less with his passing. R.I.P.

Condolences to the family. What a great loss to all that knew Mark, great memories all the way back to high school swimming competition to a trip to Indianapolis Motor Speedway on motorcycles. Over 20 years of working at SIA. He will always be remembered and respected as a friend.
