Published by Legacy Remembers on Jul. 28, 2016.
1960 ~ 2016
Alan Erikson Clark, 56, died suddenly on July 19, 2016. He was born April 30, 1960 in Salt Lake City and lived in Farmington, Utah, until age four, when his family moved to northern Virginia. He lived in Alexandria, Va., at the time of his death. For many years, he operated a successful property maintenance company in the Washington, D.C., area.
Alan attended the University of Utah, BYU and George Mason University. He served in the LDS Korea Pusan Mission in 1980-81. He was an enthusiastic traveler, visiting far-flung realms from the Philippines to Tanzania to Haiti, and even North Korea.
As a founder of Old Town Tennis Enthusiasts in Alexandria, he was an avid tennis player. He also was a diehard Beatles fan who orchestrated many events via his Come Together meet-up group.
Alan was smart, creative, witty, adventurous and generous. His family and friends will miss him deeply.
He was predeceased by his parents, Dale Duncan Clark and Ruth Erikson Clark, and by a brother, Jonathan Erikson Clark.
He is survived by seven siblings: Kristina Clark of Washington, D.C.; Jill (David) LaFrance of Purcellville, Va.; James Clark of Fairfax, Va.; Jayne Clark of Washington, D.C.; Lewis (Maureen) Clark of Bountiful, Utah; Douglas Clark of Draper, Utah; Alex (Randall) Monk of Leesburg, Va.; and a passel of adoring nieces and nephews.
Interment will be at 10 a.m. Saturday, July 30 at the Farmington City Cemetery. Family and friends will convene at noon at the Canyon Park LDS Church, 1190 E. Bountiful Hills Dr., Bountiful.

I had the privilege of meeting Alan when we both attended the University of Utah in 1978. His smile was magnetic and his charm was sweet. I have always admired Alan and think of him often. I miss him very much and wish we had more time together and fun memories to make. I will always cherish my memories of him.
