George “Charlie” Charles Clark, Jr. was born in Fort Worth, Texas on February 1, 1972. He passed away peacefully at home on June 4, 2025 at the age of 53.

He attended the HEB ISD where his Dad, George Clark, was a coach, teacher and Administrator. His Mom, Mary Clark, worked as a paralegal.

Charlie has three children, CJ, Katie and Garrett, and with the help of his MeMe and mother and father, raised CJ and Katie by himself. Charlie’s MeMe, Joyce Kemp, and his Grandad, Burl Kemp, had a great and positive influence on him. He has three grandchildren, Little Charlie, Nita and Raven. He has a younger brother, Colby, who came down from Colorado and spent time with him during his last days in the hospital and created the video for his celebration of life. 

Charlie loved family and his favorite times were when the family gathered together to celebrate the holidays.

He married Jennifer Parker Clark February 7, 2025. Jennifer, no doubt, was sent by God to help Charlie through the greatest challenge he would ever face. Jennifer knew full well going into the marriage that Charlie had been diagnosed with cancer. She made and attended every doctor’s appointment, tests, hospital stays and regulated the many medications that were required. She was always by his side.

Charlie attended the Dallas Baptist Police Academy and began his police career in 1992. He worked for Little Elm PD, Blue Mound PD, Sansom Park PD, Pelican Bay PD (where he served as Chief of Police) and Dublin PD where he sustained an on-the-job injury and had to retire. Charlie was a certified NRA instructor and K9 trainer.

The Little Elm PD Chief gave Charlie the nickname “Chewbaca” because of his size standing at 6’5”, which later was shortened to the nickname “Chewy.” The Chief also called Charlie “The Bloodhound.” Whenever a car or house was suspected of holding drugs, he would say, “Call in The Bloodhound.” If there were drugs, Charlie always found them.

After his injury at Dublin PD, Charlie worked as a Range instructor at Elm Folk shooting range, a private investigator and head of security in Arlington, Texas. Various injuries sustained during his career and life and being a type 1 diabetic, he had to retire after 26 years of combined Law Enforcement, Security and Close Principal and Asset Protection work for Celebrities, Musicians etc. Special Weapons and Tactics Certified, Texas Commission on law Enforcement Police Instructor, DPS Certified LTC Instructor, NRA Instructor, NRA Chief RSO, DPS PSB Level 3 Security Instructor and DPS PSB Level 4 Bodyguard (PPO) Instructor. Advocate for PTSD recognition in Law Enforcement and First Responders.

Once a cop, always a cop, even after retirement. Charlie has a day named for him with the City of Bedford for helping to apprehend criminals that were robbing a store. He was responsible for catching a criminal fleeing the scene at an incident. He was always on alert.

Charlie created the social media page, The Blue Voice, supporting active and retired police officers. His phone was always on day and night for those needing to talk and he prevented many troubled police officers from taking drastic measures and helped them deal with traumatic events in their lives. There are many testimonials by police officers, friends and family that he helped over the years. His favorite saying was “"No greater love hath a man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13
