late Terry and Jean Georginia Bestor Clarke. He graduated from Copenhagen Central
School and served in the US Navy for one year. Most recently, he worked for Accent
Delivery Services in Houston Texas.
David was a quiet and humble soul who preferred to stay out of the
spotlight. He was a dedicated
hardworking man who deeply loved his family and valued simple, private
life. He loved the Lord deeply,
hoping others would come to know that same faith. He is now at peace in heaven, comforted
by the promise: “The
Lord is my shepard; I shall not want. He restoreth my soul…Yea though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou
art with me.”
“We give thanks
to the Lord for the blessing of family-a bond that distance cannot break
and time cannot diminish. Wherever
we may be, and regardless of how often we see or speak to one another, we
are forever connected in love. May
we carry that love with us always.”
He Attended The Met Church in Houston, TX.
David enjoyed
volunteering at his church. He had a
passion for running and took pride in caring for his lawn. Most of all, he cherished time with his
daughter and grandchildren.
