Junior Clark lived his entire life in Pine Point raising his children and grandchildren. He loved hunting, fishing, fixing cars, going to the casino, teasing and making people laugh. He enjoyed playing card games, “Hi-HI” with family and “wrapping things up.” Junior Clark spent his days going around to check on everyone and make sure they all were ok. He was known for his huge heart, a heart of gold, and would help anyone who would ask. Junior Clark and Barbara Ann were married in Spirit on August 12, 2019. He was blessed to spend 37+ years with the love of his life, Barbara Ann, before her passing. His big heart made it easy for him to adopt his grandchildren.
