The summer of Clark's freshman year 2024, at age 15, he and his parents moved to Lakewood, Wisconsin where he attended Wabeno High School starting his sophomore year. Clark worked at the popular local ice cream shop in Lakewood, Northern Delights. Clark played for Wabeno's JV and varsity football team in the fall and had just joined the Wabeno wrestling team. Clark especially enjoyed shop class and aspired to become a lineman following in his father Seth's footsteps and mentioned possibly being a weatherman if he knew "what the benefits were."
Clark is survived by his loving parents: Seth and Naomi Lightfoot of Lakewood, WI; siblings Nadia and Mason Trinh of Pulaski, WI, Hunter and Sayge Stojadinovic of Onalaska, WI; great grandparents Clark and Yvonne Williams of Strum, WI; grandparents Mike and Kath Lightfoot of Alma, WI, and Doreen DeWilde of Two Rivers, WI.

He was preceded in death by his great grandparents James and Marcy Lightfoot, Shirley Poeschel, Margaret and Lester Strohm; and his grandfather Edward DeWilde. Clark was an active outdoorsman and loved fishing and hunting. He was greatly fond of, and loved, his home in Lakewood where he made memories boating, swimming, fishing, hunting, making new things, and enjoying all that nature had to offer with his family and friends. He enjoyed all things life had to offer him, no matter how big or small, with the biggest smile on his face, living life to the fullest. Clark had a remarkable faith and connection to the Lord, and was confirmed and participated in the youth group at Mount Olive Lutheran in Suamico, Wisconsin. He is a child of God and an overwhelmingly loved son, grandson, nephew, cousin, teammate, and friend to all of those in his life. Life can be short, but that doesn't matter when you spend everyday doing what you love, with who you love, and that is exactly what Clark spent his life doing. Clark will leave all of those in his life with unforgettable and irreplaceable memories that will last a lifetime. No words can describe how much he will forever be missed and loved. Clark has been laid to rest and called home to the arms of the Lord in Heaven. He will be buried in Lakewood, WI.
