Madill, Oklahoma - James McKinley Clark, 68, of Aledo, Texas, passed away on Sunday, June 22, 2025, in Fredericksburg, Texas, after a courageous battle with cancer.
Born on November 22, 1956, in San Angelo, Texas, James was a man who found immense joy in the outdoors. An avid hunter and fisherman, he cherished sharing his adventures and experiences with his beloved family and friends. He cultivated many deep and lasting friendships throughout his life.

We are so sorry for your loss. I have many great memories of Jim and Celeste going back 16 years. As a in-law, he was always a gracious host whenever I visited Texas and made sure to make us feel welcome.
He will be missed. RIP Jim

I am so sorry for your loss. Jim was a client and a friend. When I would go to his office he would greet me, not just as his CPA, but as a friend. Although I have been retired for several years now I would still think of Jim from time to time. He will be missed. Kathi Miller

Jim and I hunted and fished together for over 40 years! He will be severely missed and leaves a big void in my heart! We laughed and shared so many great memories it´s hard to single out one particular one. I remember laughing so hard in Alaska on a caribou hunt. We spent a lot of money go on this hunt and we´re sitting on a hill with a strong wind and it was cold. We tried starting a fire and sent smoke everywhere.Then pulled out a space blanket that is like aluminum foil. I was trying to get the space blanket around us and Jim just started laughing out of control. He then said we spent all this money to get here and now we are scaring all the caribou out of the county waving a reflective blanket and smoke everywhere. We were successful in spite of ourselves!
RIP my dear friend
