John Clark

Mr. John E. Clark was born on September 3, 1939, in Anniston, Alabama to the late Irene and Franklin Clark. He accepted Christ at an early age and later united with Thankful Baptist Church. When John showed up to worship the Lord, he was dressed in his best which included one of his signature Kangol hats. In 1969, John married the love of his life, Hazel Trotter. This union created an abundance of love that they shared with each of their children. Spending time with his children and grandchildren brought joy and light to his day. If he wasn't spending time with family, you could catch him watching an old western or browsing videos on YouTube. John was known for his love of fishing, repairing cars, gardening and manicuring his yard. His warm and welcoming personality allowed him to connect easily with others, never meeting a stranger in his life. He was a kind and encouraging man who never hesitated to offer advice and support to those around him. On Friday, May 3, 2024, John transitioned from his earthly home to be with the Lord. He was reunited with his loving wife, Hazel Clark; parents, Irene and Franklin Clark; son, Timothy Rawlin; daughter, Erin Clark; brothers, Fred Clark and Charles Clark and sisters Ruth Clark and Darlena Willingham. John's memory will be forever cherished by his daughters, Juanita Clark, Denise Clark, Nakisha (Raymond) Williams, all of Anniston, Iris Clark, of Oxford, Marsha Clark and Lisa Thomason, both of Buffalo, NY, Latricka Lee, Juanekia Clark, and Kierra Evans, all of Anniston; son, John (Kishinna) Fields of Jacksonville, FL; special grandchildren, Mikayla, Raymond, and Amari Williams, all of Anniston, Jay'lon Clark of Washington, D.C. and Justin Clark of Oxford; sisters, Dianne Fayson of Buffalo, NY and Shirlene (Warren) Askew of Anniston; brothers, Walter (Micki) Clark of Buffalo, NY and Benjamin Clark of California; a host of grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, nephews and other relatives and friends As we honor the memories of Mr. John E.
