Clifton Gerald Clark

Clifton Gerald Clark, a dedicated roofer and a cherished family man, left this world on January 3, 2026, at the age of 76. Born on April 23, 1949, in Fort Worth, Texas, Clifton carried the heart of a hardworking spirit and the warmth of a loving soul throughout his life.

Raised in the vibrant community of Fort Worth, Texas, Clifton completed his education at the local high school before embarking on a fruitful career that showcased his craftsmanship and commitment. He was more than just a roofer; he was a master at his trade, known for his meticulous work and the integrity he brought to every project.

Clifton proudly served his country in the Army, a period that not only shaped his character but also instilled in him a deep respect for shared values and community. After his service, he would dedicate himself to his profession and to his family, both of which he held dear to his heart.

A pillar of strength within his family, Clifton is survived by his beloved spouse, Barbara Clark, whose companionship was a hallmark of their enduring love story. Together, they raised a family that will continue to cherish his legacy. He leaves behind his daughter, Deanna Randle; sons, Luke Clark; Casey Clark and wife Lauren; as well as a joyful array of grandchildren: Zane, Harrison and Skylar Clark, Whitney and Paul Kennedy. To them, he wasn’t just a grandfather, but a source of wisdom, laughter, and unconditional love. Clifton is also remembered fondly by his sister, Jeannie Gail Martinez, and his brother JR Clark and wife Nancy. Their memories together will forever remain a treasure.

Clifton found solace and a sense of community at the House of Prayer in Newark, Texas, where he attended with gratitude for the friendships and support that surrounded him. He had an ability to connect with others, and his special bond with his best friend, Frankie Downs, illustrated the depth of his loyalty and companionship.

Now rejoined with his beloved parents, Jasper and Opal Clark, and his sisters, Rita Hanson, Shelba Sessions, and Carolyn Johnson, Clifton's spirit finds peace. His laughter, strength, and kindness will be profoundly missed but will resonate deeply in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

As we remember Clifton Gerald Clark, we celebrate a life well-lived—a life filled with love, hard work, and unwavering dedication to those he cherished. His legacy will continue through his family, friends, and the countless lives he touched along the way. May he rest in eternal peace.
