Sorry for your loss. Time will help to a degree. Also the Bible gives us a sure hope. Soon death will be a thing of the past (revelation 21:4). And a resurrection awaits the billions we have lost to death (John 5:28,29). A beautiful paradise earth with everlasting life in perfect health and happiness is our future (Psalm 37:11,29; John 17:3).

Please accept my sincere condolences. May you be comforted by the hope found in God’s Word, the Bible, which promises that one day the earth will be a place free of pain, mourning, sickness and death (Revelation 21:4). These words were written to bring comfort to people and I hope that they bring you a measure of comfort and help you to cope during these most difficult days.
Heather DeCock Bennett says
I remember Clarke coming over to our house to “jam out” with my brother (Justin DeCock) when I was in high school. I would yell at them, “Turn that crap down.”
Clarke will be missed. He was always so fun to have around. He was the life of a good party. However, he is in a much better place now celebrating with is mother and grandparents feeling no pain or sadness.
With greatest sympathy,
Heather DeCock Bennett

Dick and the family i am very sorry for the loss of clark he is a great fun guy and i will always remember him as that .my condolances go out to you
Beth Lee says
No one ever really knows what to say to the family when a loss of this magnitude occurs. Condolences are offered and well wishes are extended, but we always wish we could do more. I hope the family will find some comfort in knowing how many lives Clarke touched with his humor, warmth, kindness and overall zest for life. He was crazy fun when the time called for it and understanding and supportive at others.
Keep his smile close to your heart, as we all will. On that note, I remember laughing ’til it hurt (LONG after the fear wore off)after sinking a borrowed vehicle in the Yellowstone while trying to get to the island. Dick, however, didn’t find it as amusing. One fond memory of a “Clarke” moment.
Danielle Steinmetz ( Filler) says
My condolences go out to his family and his friends. And to his Fiance’DeeDee. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. May you all find peace in Clarke’s Death.
Love to all!
