Jeffery Lynn Clark, son of Leonard and Betty (Byers) Clark, was born December 29, 1943, in Los Angeles, California, and left the troubles of this world behind on November 13, 2024, in Lebanon, Missouri, at the age of eighty years old.
On May 16, 1964, he was united in marriage with the love of his life, Marie Ellen Convery and to this union was born two sons, David and Steven, both surviving. Prior to Jeffery’s passing, he and Marie had shared sixty years of love, laughter, triumphs and tears and many wonderful memories, side by side while raising their two boys.
Jeffery and Marie worked hard in their early years, allowing them to retire at the age of fifty-five. They were able to enjoy life’s many pleasures as retiree’s for nearly thirty years. They used that time to travel in their motorhome and enjoyed not only each other’s company, but the many family and friends met along the way. Jeff had many hobbies throughout his life, but his greatest talent was making wood clocks. He enjoyed working with walnut, oak, redwood, and cedar. The true joy of his work was sharing these clocks with his family and friends.
Jeffery is survived by his wife, Marie; two sons, David Clark and his wife Laura, Steven Clark and his wife Kellie; four brothers, John Clark, Ben Clark, Dannie Clark, and Gary Clark; one sister, Aline Ward; eight grandchildren; five great-grandchildren and one on the way; other relatives and many dear friends.
He is preceded in death by his parents.
