Martin Clark Obituary
Marty, age 72, passed away on January 26, 2026, at Novant Forsyth Medical Center. He was born in Morgantown, West Virginia on July 23, 1953, to the late James Morris and Mary Margaret McCurdy Clark.
Marty was a machinist for 20 plus years at JP Stevens and later turned his talents to flooring installation, working for Jewell Interiors, then later, Styron Floor Covering. Marty was meticulous in his work and took pride in doing the best job possible.
He loved the outdoors. Camping, boating, fishing, and canoeing were among his favorite activities. He was also an avid NASCAR fan.
Marty's knowledge of how to do anything, how things worked was unfathomable, and he passed his knowledge on to family and friends. We're all so grateful that this part of him will live on in us.
In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his grandparents, Clarence and Edna McCurdy; Morris and Evelyn Clark; and the mother of his children, Joy Clark.
Left to cherish his memories is his loving wife of 40 years, Melanie Flippin Clark; his daughters, Teri Clark Breaux (Chris) and Lori Clark; brother, Gary Clark (Jill); sister, Janie Clark Miller (Craig); eight grandchildren, Maiya, Adelyn, Evan and Chloe Breaux; Kalob, Kayden, Bella, and Lincoln Beasley; several nieces and nephews; a special brother-in-law, Larry Flippin; and his beloved fur baby, Abby.
A funeral service will be held on Thursday, February 5, 2026, at 2:00 PM at Moody Funeral Home Chapel in Mount Airy with Pastor Mark George officiating. Interment will follow in the Stateline Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery in Collinstown, North Carolina. The family will receive friends on Thursday, February 5, 2026, at Moody Funeral Home from 12:00 PM until the time of the service.
The family wishes to thank everyone for the many prayers uplifted on Marty's behalf, the cards that were sent, and the love that was shown.
Flowers will be accepted, or you may consider a donation to your favorite charity in Marty's honor.
