US AIR FORCE VETERAN – VIETNAM
The family of Mr. Ronald V Clark, a US Air Force Veteran, requests the presence and participation of the San Antonio Patriot Guard Riders at the services, LEO supported procession, and graveside rendering of military honors of their loved one. We are honored to accept this invitation.
Ronald Vincent Clark Sr., a beloved husband, father, brother, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend passed away on January 2, 2021 at the age of 73. He was the son of Lester and Ruth Clark, born on April 29, 1947 in Brooklyn, NY. He is survived by wife Marlene Clark, siblings: Calvin, Darryl (Rosa), Gregory (Cathy), Larry, Lester, Phillip, and Stephanie, daughters: Jenene, Kellee, and Carnecka, sons: Ronald Jr., Kevin, and Vincent, step-sons Kevin, Barrington, Delroy and Matthew, and many brothers- and sisters- in-law, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and cherished friends.
Ronnie was larger than life. As a gregarious Brooklyn-born teenager, he needed more adventure than New York could offer. So, he joined the Air Force during the Vietnam War. His action inspired his brother Greg to join as well. As a Loadmaster on the giant C-5, he braved danger every day while in-country deep in Vietnam. His exposure to Agent Orange while in Vietnam caused him all kinds of health problems. As often as the pain would take hold of him, he was determined to live life to its fullest; ask anyone who knew him! Years before his health got worse, he was an avid skeet shooter with the Disabled American Veterans team and could often be caught on cruises with his “angel” and love Marlene, traveling across the country to see his family, or building his Hot Wheels collection. He also was a member of the American Legion.
