Jerry Clark Obituary

Jerry was born on January 18, 1960 in Bladen County. He attended Tar Heel Highschool and later graduated from Southeastern Community College.

Left to cherish his memory are his sisters, Beth Wright and Paula Evans; his nieces and nephews, Audrey Roberts and her husband Brad, Johnny Priest, Derick Wright and his wife Alison; five great nieces and nephews; many friends and extended family far too numerous to name.
