It is with a great sadness when I heard about my dear friend Chris. Having known Chris since we were very young, he has been like a guardian angel for me. His spirit has always shown me what unconditional love meant for me, in my beautiful blue clear sky days or in my darker weeks and months, Chris was always there, not judging but reaching out a hand to lift me back to more beautiful days. His heart was so big and open, he was a gift from God that if we were lucky Chris touched us with himself and his heart. Even here in Columbus Ohio, at a huge annual Art Festival, I ran into a person who knew Chris and his incredible talent. He touched so many people with his incredible spirit and talent. I am blessed to have known him here for his short time and know he is another guardian angel watching over his mother, family and friends. He is a huge talent and I hope they have lots of art supplys in heaven cause he is going to be doing some unbelievable work in a peaceful place now!! all my prayers for his mother and family. you will be missed my friend!

Our prayers for the Clark family. Chris came to our school, Paine Intermediate, several years ago and we really enjoyed his visit. One of his story quilts hangs in the front entrance of our school. Visitors to our school always gather around the quilt and want to know the story behind it. Chris was truly an artist from the heart......

I met Chris Clark at Atlanta's Black Arts Festival in 1994 where he was sharing the story of his wonderfully painted,"Sermon On The Mount", quilt.
I later became the proud owner of that quilt after a telephone conversation with him and his mother. It is treasured!!

My thoughts and prayers are extended to Chris' family.
