Born in Bethesda, Maryland, on December 28, 1962, he was the son of James Clark and Sandy (Haynes) Condon. David moved frequently in his younger years, and grew to love traveling internationally, enjoying Europe specifically. He worked for Chevron in Orange for over 30 years, with a portion of that time in the Middle East. David met his soulmate, Kerry on a blind date and within 8 days they were engaged and spent an absolutely blissful 18 years together building a life they loved. He enjoyed building things, home renovations, and spending time tending to his lawn. David’s pride and joy were his grandchildren, whom lovingly referred to him as their “PaPa”. Any opportunity he had to spend with them he cherished deeply, making it a goal to always make memories with them. His dogs were his babies and he loved their constant companionship.
He was preceded in death by his father, James Clark, and mother, Sandy Condon.
He is survived by the love of his life, Kerry Clark; step-father, Denis Condon; children: Kim Adams and husband Eric of Buna, Nikki Guerrero and husband Jorge of Mauriceville, Tricia Gordon of Mauriceville, and David Clark Jr. of Mauriceville; grandchildren: Hunter, Lane, Michelle, Barbie, Luke, Lance, Madison, Logan, Alison, Odes, Emma, Jaxon, and Molly; siblings: James Clark and wife Wendy, Kim Milliken and husband Randy, Debbie Ponsaa and husband Allan, Stephanie Perry and husband Anthony; numerous nieces and nephews; and fur-babies: Savanna, Buddeee, Hanna, Max, and Fran Fine.

Though our times together weren’t as frequent in our older years, every minute with David was always full of laughter and smiles. When he would leave, you always wanted more of him. He will be sorely missed and forever loved.

David was the purest soul I ever knew. I have so many fantastic memories of him and summers with cousins at grams. Fort building, smoke bomb wars to mention a few! The best was the year he won an eye patch at the fair and wore it all summer. I could write a novel about how he impacted me, he has done everything with a passion! I will be forever grateful he came to my daughters wedding so we could have fun together! He has been friend, brother and family to everyone he meet and there is not a person alive that was not blessed by knowing him. We are blood and piece of my heart went with him but I rest knowing I will see him again, until there will be a hole. I am thankful he is my family. I will miss that sweet devilish smile! Love, cousin Carla

I have two memories, first when we were small kids, we would spend the summer with our grandparents. If there was ever a problem grandma would sit each and everyone us on the couch until someone confessed, short story David always confessed whether it was him or not! Second, I just had the best time spending it with my brothers and sisters last month! My brother David and his wife Kerry took my husband Randy and myself antiquing. I had the best time and found out that David and I had something in common! Who woulda known, Nesting Chickens, Hens, Etc...!!! I will cherish that memory forever! Thank you David :heart: Love Always your older sister Kim

David has always been a gentle soul. When David was little, the entire family went fishing. When we finally caught one and put it in the basket, he asked what we were going to do with it. We told him we were going to cook it and he said "Why? What has it ever done to you?" We had to throw it back in the water and our fishing day was over! Aunt Donna
