Norman Clark

NORMAN C. CLARK, Jr. On Sunday, October 9, 2022, Norman Conway Clark, Jr. a loving husband with 3 children and 5 grandchildren, suddenly passed away at age 53 in Kerens, TX. Norman was born in Palestine, Texas to Willodean Elise and Norman Conway Clark, Sr. on November 12, 1968, and loved being a Texan with his three brothers. His father and his youngest brother both served in our US Military, US Army and US Marine Corps, respectively. He attended and graduated Irving High School in 1987 and DeVry University in 1991 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Electronics Engineering Technology (BS-EET). That same year he received a new drivers licensed stamped Commercial. Though his time “behind the wheel” was limited, he spent nearly 35 years in the transportation industry. This December, Norman would have raised a glass to celebrate 25 years of those years with JB Hunt Transport, where he ultimately became VP of Operations for the Final Mile. Norman had many hobbies and interests, and he dove deep to educate himself. He was what some call a Lifetime Learner. He was a beekeeper, a brew master of Clark’s Cove Lager and Rusty Weiner Ale, a fisherman, an avid cook making crepes Suzette, German potato salad, smoked brisket, and his famous Papa’s Pancakes! He holds an Electrical License for appliance installation and is licensed as an amateur radio operator-Extra class. Of all his interests, outside God and his family, there is one that shined the brightest and it was being a Private Pilot. He was Instrument-Rated and in the process of earning his Commercial Pilot License. Norman enjoyed spending time with our military veterans, volunteering within his community, and learning more about aircraft new and old. He was extremely honored to be a Colonel in the Commemorative Air Force (CAF) and an active member of the Coyote Squadron keeping Aviation history alive for others to learn and appreciate. Norman is best known for his generous heart. He loved his life, his family, his friends, and recognizing people’s accomplishments. A person like Norman is what everyone needs, full of smiles and a doer of great deeds for others. Norman Conway Clark, Jr. is survived by his loving wife of 25 years, Jefferie Clark, 3 children and their spouses, Emily & Scott McCann, Brad Sanders and Bryan & Leana Sanders, with Grandchildren he loved and adored, Braden and Jesse Sanders, Dylan, Joey and Ella Grace McCann. He leaves 3 brothers and their wives, Larry & Vickie Clark, Jerry Clark, Troy & Alisa Clark and many beloved nieces, nephews, and cousins.
