I used to know Clark, I was best friends with Scott in elementary school and clark would babysit me sometimes. He was such an angel. He became a brother to me and his family became my own. I loved him so much and I miss him all the time and hope someday I can visit anchorage to give him my own proper goodbye.

P.S., If shawn or cheryl or scott see this, it´s krystin! i go by frankie webb now though!

Clark was part of the neighbourhood group of kids. I wasn't very close to him, but he was always wonderful to hang out with. He always livened everything up, and his presence will be deeply missed by the neighbourhood kids. Clark, we could never forget someone as fun, lively, and silly as you. I promise.

I did not know Clark but he grew up with my nieces and nephew, the Siiras and Hough-Kragness's. These kids have been so affected by his passing that I felt I had to comment. For the past few days, I have read and heard from them about how the loss of this young man will tear at their hearts for sometime to come. They all grew up together and will miss his presence in their lives. Those who come from large families realize more than most how it touches us all! Please accept our sincere thoughts and prayers to your family for your loss.

Losing a precious loved one, especially so young, is never, ever easy. Clark will obviously be greatly missed. May the support of family, friends and God' s word help you through this difficult time. Psalms 46:1 says God is for us a refuge and strength.

I used to see him around school. We said hi a couple times whenever I was standing alone and not in a class, but that was it. We were complete strangers. He seemed like a really nice and friendly person. My heart goes out to his family and friends. I'm so sorry for your loss.

He will be missed by many. I never saw him without a smile, unless he was staring at you awkwardly to make you smile. He lit up a room and was always a good guy no matter who you were. If you didn't know Clark, you didn't need to because he would still help you if you needed it. He was a good guy, and a great friend. I miss you already and you will always hold out memories dear.
