Clarence Harlen Marks

Clarence Harlen "Clay" Marks, age 71, passed unexpectedly but peacefully Sept. 23, 2021. Clay was preceded in death by his parents and his brothers. He is survived by his wife, Ruth, children, Sheila and Cole (Kaleigh), sister, Kammie and his faithful companions Balto and Bella. Clay had a long and respected career in the BAS industry, retiring from Trane. Clay was most at home and closest to God in the outdoors. He enjoyed hunting, fishing & trips to the beach. He fiercely loved his family. We will miss his kind, gentle, loving soul. A memorial service will be held October 3, 2021 at 2 pm at First Baptist Church Ashland.
