Harry Hayes "Jerry" Clark, 88 passed away on September 2, 2025, in Jacksonville, Florida. Born on August 1, 1937, in Orlando, Florida, Jerry spent most of his life rooted in the Sunshine State. He graduated from the University of Florida in 1964 with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, a milestone that marked the beginning of a long and fulfilling journey both professionally and personally. Jerry was married to Sandra Craft Clark for nearly 64 years, but their first date was a church hayride in elementary school. Their enduring partnership was a cornerstone of his life. Together they built a family that remained at the heart of everything he did. His daughter, Stacy Craft Clark, and grandsons Austin Clark Altwies and Blaine Clark Norman were his greatest joys. Jerry's devotion to them was unwavering; he took immense pride in their accomplishments and cherished every moment spent together. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Sandra Craft Clark; his father, Harry Albright Clark; his mother, Jeanette Hayes Clark; and his brother, John F. Clark. He is survived by his daughter, Stacy Craft Clark; his grandsons, Austin Clark Altwies and Blaine Clark Norman; his brothers, Douglas H. (Kathy) Clark and James M. (Sandra) Clark; and sister-in-law, Diane C. Clark. A man of passion and adventure, Jerry was a lifelong Harley rider who found freedom on the open road. He also had a deep love for scuba diving, exploring underwater caves, deep oceans, and sunken ships with the same enthusiasm he brought to all aspects of his life. Jerry's legacy is one of steadfast love for his family and an enduring spirit of exploration. May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him and continue to inspire those whose lives he touched.
