Glen Melvin Clark

Glen Melvin Clark, age 86, passed away peacefully on May 21, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family. Born on March 2, 1940, in Strafford, New Hampshire, he was the beloved son of the late Herbert K. Clark and Lyndall (Perkins) Clark.

Glen proudly served his country in the United States Army as a Vietnam veteran from 1963 to 1966, including service in Germany and Vietnam. He carried a deep love for God, his family, and the simple joys of life. He especially enjoyed riding his motorcycle and embracing the freedom of the open road. Glen had a gift for storytelling and never missed an opportunity to make those around him laugh. His humor, wisdom, and presence will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

Glen shared 50 wonderful years of marriage with his devoted wife, Mahala Clark. In addition to his wife, he is lovingly survived by his brother, Leon Clark; his daughter, Joy Acord (Dave); his son, Danny (Lori) Dreyer; his daughter, Laurie Osborne; his grandchildren, Jaime Osborne, Ian (Tabitha) Osborne, Amanda (Tim) Lavalley, and Abigail Acord; and his cherished great-grandchildren, Alex, Anthony, Ashton, Emma, Kaytlyn, and Oliver.

He was predeceased by his parents, Herbert and Lyndall Clark, as well as four siblings: Elna, Shirley, Lyndall, and Herbie.

Though our hearts are heavy, we find comfort in the memories, laughter, and love Glen leaves behind. His legacy will live on through the family and friends who were blessed to know him.

A celebration of life will be held on Monday, June 1, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at Crestview Cemetery, 3077 E. Grand Service Rd., Hot Springs, AR 71901.
