Great Falls - On April 7, 2021, Michael L. Clark "W. Grizwald the III" decided to go walleye fishing forevermore. We hope you catch only big ones from now on!

Mike was born on December 27, 1971, in San Diego County, CA. He came to Great Falls, MT when he was a baby and he always considered himself as "born and raised" in Montana. He was father to three wonderful children, Danton, Devin, and Neva. They will miss him greatly.

Mike joined the Navy immediately after graduating from Great Falls High School in 1990. In the Navy, he graduated at the top of his class from EOD School. He served honorably in the Navy, U.S. Naval Reserves, and in the Army National Guard. He did one tour in Iraq during the Gulf War and went to Iraq again as a civilian contractor doing explosives work. Mike was very proud of his service to his country.

Mike was exceptionally talented at everything he decided to do. He was a passionate walleye fisherman. His passion for fishing came from his Great Uncle Merville, who would take him camping and fishing in his dinghy and feed him onion sandwiches all weekend. Mike was an excellent skier and spent over 40 years enjoying Showdown. Mike owned a successful electrical business. He was a serious Griz fan…GO GRIZ!

Mike is survived by his wife, Alouette Chicoine; sons, Danton Clark and Devin (Alicyn) Clark; daughter, Neva Clark; his dad, Charles Clark; his father, Michael (Peggy) Conrad; sister, Lindsay (Justin) Lee; nephew, Julian Vinaras; niece, Macie Vinaras; many extended family members and more friends than he ever knew he had.

Mike was preceded in death by his mother, Patsy Clark; sister, Michelle (Clark) Stephenson; and his grandparents, Glenn and Neva Conrad, Willard Clark and his beloved grandma, Vinola Clark.

Don't be sad, the best is yet to come. Give him a toast… The DUDE ABIDES.

A military service will take place at Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Great Falls, MT on April 26, 2021 at 2:30 p.m. No reception to follow. Condolences for the family may be shared online at www.SchniderFuneralHome.com.
