I first met Mike as a coworker, and later he brought me on as an employee, but we quickly grew to be friends.
In both rolls he continually challenged me to higher heights.
Through that friendship I came to respect, and even admire him. Never one to shy away from offering a helping hand anyone in need.
I'll always cherish his enthusiasm for just doing things; the ministry at the correctional facility, programming, sushi, especially the dragon rolls, blacksmithing are just a small part of his vast repertoire. There was never a lack of gusto for living in Mike.
He will be missed.

Sooo... with a heavy heart and deep love for Vera... I will miss you Mike...
Our history - I met him in a Speech class 1977-78 and then when I joined "Drama" class, he was always around. FUN Mike was in my group at South Garland H.S. because of plays....
Fast Forward to 1980?ish - we re-met and he hung around with Scott A. Munoz and others from Richland College and I had already met his lovely, future wife, Vera Clark and we were fast friends.
Hence, South met North. YKIFYK I think I introduced them...
I will say I never had polynesian food, chinese or anything DIFFERENT til Mike Clark...
So very glad I invited him to our SG '79 45th reunion - and he got to relive a lot of FUN memories!
We love you Mike! And we ADORE and will take care of Vera!!!
Mike was absolutely the first person who taught me some of the in and outs of rugby! I could always expect to see him on Saturdays watching the sport! He will be extremely missed. I’ll never forget him ❤️

I am saddened by the passing of Mike. He held a special place in my heart and helped me start rebuilding my relationship with The Almighty Father. My heart goes out to Vera, the boys and all the family. While distance prohibits me from providing hugs and comfort know I have you all in my prayers.
