ClarkRaymond Charles Clark, known to all as Raymond, passed away on December 11, 2024, at the age of 73. Born on December 9, 1951 in Rogers, Arkansas, he was the son of Robert and Marjorie (Calkins) Clark. He passed away at his home in Oak Grove with his family by his side.
Raymond loved life and lived it to its fullest. He navigated the roads and the rivers with equal passion, having spent his career behind the wheel for Tyson Foods. His truck may have been big, but his heart was bigger, and his sense of humor was, without a doubt, the largest of all. He was a man who found happiness in the simple things such as a well- timed joke, camping, hunting and fishing.
He was a family man through and through, sharing his life with his loving wife of 55 years, Cathy (White) Clark; son and daughter-in-law, Charlie and Earlena Clark of Lampe, Missouri; daughter, Stacy Clark of Oak Grove; brother, Ray Clark of Green Forest; and sister, Bobbie Briley of Berryville. Raymond is also survived by his grandchildren, Shannon Durdin-Rushton, Wesley Clark, Cody Scallion, Aaron Scallion, Tommy Clark and Bene Clark; 10 great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Robert and Majorie Clark; and his siblings, Wanda, Sandra, Judy, Joyce, Benny, Jay, and Jerry.
Celebration of Life will be 3:00 p.m., Saturday, December 14, 2024, at Green Forest Cowboy Church with Pastor Doug Blevins officiating. Visitation will be 2:00-3:00 p.m. prior to the service.
