Terry Clark

A lifelong resident of Louisiana, Terry graduated from Central High School and was a proud member of Zoar Baptist Church. He dedicated his career to the state, retiring from the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development. Terry was known for his kindness, warm spirit, and unwavering generosity, leaving a lasting impact on all who knew him through his deep devotion to family and friends.

Terry found joy in life’s simple pleasures. He enjoyed watching game shows, working on puzzles, cheering on his beloved LSU Tigers, and spending time with his loyal dogs, Smokey and Buster. Terry’s infectious joy and positivity brightened every room he entered. He was always quick with a smile, eager to lend a helping hand and greeted everyone with a "Hey Boo."

Terry is survived by his loving mother, Loyce P. McMorris; his brother, Jimmy Clark (Stephanie); his sister, Nancy Walls (Marc); his nieces, Ashley Clark and Savannah Walls; his nephews, Jimmy Clark Jr. and Cayden Walls; and a host of great-nieces and great-nephews.

Terry is preceded in death by his father, Melvin Clark; stepfather, Howell O. McMorris; grandparents, Ollie and Lula Perkins; and grandparents, Tommy and Hattie Clark.

Serving as pallbearers will be Cayden Walls, Samuel Miers, Jimmy Clark Jr., Marc Walls, Jamison Clark, and Christopher Higginbotham.

The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to the staff at Central Guest House for the compassionate care and kindness they provided to Terry in his final year.
