Robert Michael "Mike" Clark

Ended this life's journey on June 3, 2022, surrounded by his loving family. Mike is survived by his wife Cynthia (Bennett), his constant companion Buddy, his children Michael Warren Clark (Teodora), Daniel Robert Clark and Abigail Ellen Clark Hescott (Dylan), his devoted sister-in-law Kathleen Bennett and his beloved granddaughter Ameila Grey Hescott. His siblings include Michele Saint John (Jeff), David W Clark (Brenda,dec.), Pegeen Fouty (Tom), John M Clark (Gretchen Kuhl) and Pam Ostrander (Tom), and many nieces and nephews. Mike was preceded in death by his parents Robert C Clark and Norma J Clark.

Mike led a magnificent life born in South Bend Indiana and moving to Jackson in 1967, with a career in Manufacturing and a true love of coaching. Over 43 years he coached many softball, little league, soccer and basketball teams, leaving a lasting impression on many people. Mike filled his life with his faith and his family. He loved playing the guitar, listening to music, watching sports (Especially the Fighting Irish and the Detroit Tigers), reading, photography and swimming at the Jackson YMCA. Additionally, Mike was a member of the Knights of Columbus and the Queen's Men's Club. He will be a much missed member of this family and community, as he made friends wherever he went.

His family would like to thank his extended family, his wonderful neighbors, the staff at Henry Ford Allegiance Hospital, Care Line Hospice and especially all the prayer warriors of Queen's Church and Lumen Christi Alumni.
