Gibbons Clark Obituary

October 8, 2010 Gibbons Dallas Clark went home to be with the Lord while surrounded by his family. Born October 15, 1916 in Redford, Michigan, Gibb was 93 years old. Gibb served four years in the Army Air Transport Command during WWII and served as a pastor for 55+ years. He began his ministry during WWII starting an evangelistic team that travelled around London, England, then held evangelistic meetings throughout the Midwest before starting his pastoral ministry. He served at Wadhams Baptist Church, Maranatha Baptist Church, Novi Baptist Church, and Decatur Bible Church in Michigan and Foothill Baptist Church in Sylmar, California. Survived by Phyllis Clark, his wife of 64 years; children, Dave (Coleen) Clark, Becky (Mick) Lindsay, and Dan (Cherie) Clark; eight grandchildren, six great grandchildren; and his sister-in-law, Rita Clark. Gibb will be greatly missed by so many for his love for the Lord and for his family. He was an avid hunter, gardener, and had a contagious laugh and joyful spirit. A Graveside Service will be held on October 16, 2010, 11:00 a.m., at Simi Valley Public Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Sunshine Gospel Ministries, of Chicago and/or Vitas Hospice of Encino, California.

To the family members of Gibb Clark. As a step-nephew I enjoyed Gibb so much--as a kid in Cleveland and many years later in California. He was a wonderful man who loved the Lord and his family and I know that he is in the presence of Jesus at this moment and with my father who passed away in 1972. His mother was one whom I loved very much too. Thank the Lord we have such hope in his passing. We love you as well Phyliss. May God bless all of you. David Miller, Concord and Walnut Creek, California
