Kevin Clark Obituary

Kevin Joseph Clark Jr. most beloved son, father, brother, uncle, grandson, and friend-went to eternal rest on Sunday, April 28, 2019 at his home in Mandeville, LA at the age of 28. Those who knew Kevin, even just a little, would tell you he wasn't like anyone else. Kevin had a truly unique spirit and he was very easy to love. Kevin lived a life filled with accomplishments that tested his courage at every turn. Kevin was a passionate fugitive recovery agent, where he held the record for the most captures in one week. He enjoyed living life on the edge seeking thrill from activities such as military simulation weapons training, MMA wrestling and high-speed motorsports. A jokester with a creative sense of humor, Kevin's quirkiness would have everyone at family gatherings laughing. Everyone adored his way of telling jokes and stories, which were known to be quite long, but always worth hearing him say several times "I'm almost to the good part". Kevin was such a loving father and uncle. He would entertain all the children at family functions; carrying several children while chasing the others to make sure everyone was included in the family fun. As a young child, he loved being outdoors. Kevin was always the first one running to the family vehicle for camping trips, his parents would have to drag him away from roasting marshmallows on the fire. Kevin often went on hunting trips with his father, uncle and grandfather. One hunting trip they brought Kevin home with a front tooth missing, from him shooting a deer. A story he liked to tell on how he lost his first tooth. Kevin is survived by his daughters, Torin Clark, Desirea Williams (stepdaughter); his parents Kevin J. Clark, Sr. (Cristie Denaburg), Shawn Melerine and Lorri Bullock (Byron Bullock); his siblings Mina Janssens, Danielle Clark Fabre, Brook Clark, Paris Melerine and Britan Angelo; his grandparents Edward C. Clark, III, Jacquelyn S. Clark and Robert Huber; his aunts and uncles Troy and Laura Hiers, Edward Clark IV (deceased), Junior and Robbyn Sumner; his cousins Hailey, Jaret and Kailey Hiers, Ryan and Reed Osbourn; his nieces and nephews, Mia Morales, Bentley Watson, Jagger Clark, Zain, Lyla and Sophie Fabre. All are invited to celebrate the life of Kevin Joseph Clark Jr. at St. Bernard Memorial Gardens and Funeral Home 701 W Virtue St. Chalmette, LA 70043 on May 10th. Visitation will be from 10am-1:00pm and Funeral to follow at 1:00pm. In lieu of flowers, the family has designated a college fund for Torin Clark and Desirea Williams.

It was 2008 and you were living with your Dad when I first met you. I had just started working with your Dad. I was taking a break and looking in the fridge for a snack and all I saw was protein powders. When I asked if there was any real food, you smiled (the first smile) and said "growing up, the kids were Dad's experiment with health foods." That you got use to it and it wasn't all bad. I asked if you ate hamburgers and hot dogs like normal people and we laughed.

I miss the way you would light up the office when you visited. Your hug was so genuine and your smile was contagious. Today, a year later, the weather is the same as it was then, a dark gray wet day as if the tears of heaven flow in memory of how you will be missed by those that love you. I am sending you a bear hug, a kiss on the cheek and fond memories of laughter we shared.
