Ronald (Ronnie) Glenn Clark, age 66, departed this life on April 9, 2016, in the company of his
son & family in Austin, Texas.
Ronnie was born on December 12, 1949 in Orange, Texas to Caggie Inez and William Prentis
Clark. He graduated Starks High School in Starks, Louisiana in 1967.
Ronnie leaves behind his son Heath Vaughn Clark and wife Julissa, grandson Julian Vaughn and
granddaughter Ava Isabel, all of Austin, Texas. Additional survivors include a brother William P.
(Bud) Clark and wife Chloe of Port Neches, Texas and sister Frances Ann Clark of Starks,
Louisiana, several nephews and nieces, special caring friend Karen Mitchell of Kountze, Texas,
and an abundance of close friends who will deeply miss his smiling face.
Preceding him in death were his parents, two brothers Prentis Wynn Clark and David Vaughn Clark, and a sister Wilma Lois Clark.
Ronnie lived most of his adult life in Beaumont, Texas, taking early retirement from E. I. DuPont
to further pursue and grow his business; one that would be a love and service to his community
for decades. The things he loved most were God, family, friends, classic cars and serving
others. Ronnie always had time and compassion for those in need; the first one to offer a
helping hand, listening ear and a tender heart full of joy, wisdom and patience. Ronnie Clark
will be sorely missed by many - as his impression on our lives and this world lives on to magnify
the genuine goodness we are capable of carrying on.
A memorial service in Ronnie’s honor will be held this Saturday, April 16 – 10:00 am, at St.
Anthony’s Cathedral Basilica (700 Jefferson St. Beaumont, TX 77701).
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that a donation be made to the American Heart
Association ~ 755 South 11th Street Suite 212 ~ Beaumont, TX 77701 or St. Anthony’s Cathedral Basilica ~ 700 Jefferson St. ~ Beaumont, TX 77701.
