Clark Young of Georgetown, Texas, passed away the morning of November 27, 2022, at the age of 80. He courageously fought a battle with Parkinson's disease and Multiple Myeloma.
Clark was born on June 7, 1942, to his loving parents W. L. and Myrtle Young in Big Sandy, Texas. He attended Emmett Scott High School in Tyler, Texas. After completing high school, he attended Prairie View A & M University where he played baseball. He graduated with a B.S. in electronic technology.

Clark spent his retirement walking most mornings at San Gabriel Park and loved playing golf. He took any opportunity to socialize and thoroughly enjoyed joking and catching up with friends. But, most of all, Clark loved his family. He was a devoted husband for 54 years, a loving father, and a doting grandfather.
Clark was a member of Georgetown Church of Christ for over 35 years. He also enjoyed membership with the Elks Lodge, VFW, Georgetown Parkinson's Support Group, and Trendsetters.
