Dr. Clarke took care of my pain for the last six years or so at the Pain Management Center. He was such a caring doctor and had a wonderful sense of humor. I was so saddened to hear about the accident. He will be sorely missed. May God give you peace and comfort in the coming days, weeks, and months.

To the entire Clarke family, my thoughts, prayers, and condolences. Scott was my best friend growing up in Millard Heights and we shared a lot of great memories growing up together. We played on the same sports teams and were in all the same classes from 3rd grade until graduation from Millard South in '89. I still remember when we both decided we were going to be doctors in fourth grade and never lost focus on that dream. His father Patrick was a great dad too. Everyone was always welcome at the Clarke house and it felt like second home to me. It's difficult for me to understand why two amazing person would be taken from this world long before their time. I will never forget you my friend!

I am so sorry for the loss of such a great man! I can still remember him in my deacons quorum telling me that when he grew up, he was going to be a doctor and I had no doubt he would do just that! He is a remarkable man and was a pleasure to be around. He will be sorely missed by my family and I and all those who had the pleasure or meeting this wonderful man. May God bless his family members and friends at this time of terrible loss.

I have been a patient of Dr. Clarke's for the past six years or so. He was a wonderful caring Doctor. He and his pain management staff worked like a well oiled machine trying to bring as much pain relief to as many patients as possible. His loss will be felt by many. I pray that the family is comforted by their sweet memories of a great man. May he rest in peace. God Bless.

My mother was Dr. Clarke's patient and was supposed to see him this week. He was the first doctor I have ever heard her rave about. She (and I) are so sorry for what your family will go through in the days, months and years ahead, but hold those awesome memories close to your heart and know that he will be watching over you all.

Scott was a great analytical mind when he was a math and computer science student of mine at Millard South. In our gifted program, he was a true leader. I think of him often and wandered what great things he was working on. I will truly miss him.
