Dear family and friends: It is with a heavy heart that I thank everyone who has shown an extrordinary amount of kindness to our family during this time of sadness.....It is difficult to see talented loved ones taken early, and it was a great disappointment for: Jason K. Clark, to not realize many hopes and dreams that he had for himself, and that we had as a family, for him. Your sympathy has moved us, and we thank God for your support.....On a personal note, I will be contacting all of my friends here, who have provided e-mail access.....It may take a day or two, but I will get to you! There was a large turn out for the funeral, and seeing friends that I have not had an opportunity to see since I moved to Nashville, was of great comfort (more than I can humbly express) to me personally. Please feel free to contact me anytime: [email protected] I would enjoy hearing from anyone who would like to visit with me at anytime..... Jake would have been proud and touched by the kindness, that you: our dear family and friends, have showed.....I look forward to singing and playing a tune again with him.....someday. May God have mercy on his soul, with love: Jimmy C. Clark (Brother of Jason K. Clark)

Clark Family - Our thoughts and praywes are with you - Jason showed up now and then when we played at the VFW in Mason City - he sang and played his brothers white fiddle that Kevin bought. He was a GREAT Musician- Heaven is lucky to have him in their band. We had good visits with him catching up on Jim and your family. We will keep him and his music in our hearts.
