Wayne Sam Clark, Jr. 54, passed away unexpectedly on February 26, 2019 at St. Francis Hospital. Wayne was born on October 14, 1964, in Presque Isle, ME., but had been a resident of East Hartford, CT most of his life.
He was known to have a kind heart and a gentle soul. He enjoyed very few things but trips to the casino was definitely his favorite. He also enjoyed cooking not just for himself but for others and wouldn't take no for answer, even if you weren't hungry you had to take a plate. His fear of snakes kept him from fishing but he did enjoy it. He was a very hard worker and was one of the few people in the world that could lift a car transmission on his own like it was a card board box. He was anxiously waiting the arrival of his granddaughter Savannah Rose who is expected in April.
He is survived by his parents Harriet Singh and Wayne Clark Sr., his beloved girlfriend Brenda Brown, his sisters Wanda Clark, Pamela Clark of East Hartford, his brother George Clark of Chaplin. He is predeceased by his brother Daren Clark, (who left behind a wife) Marsha Lazure Clark of East Hartford, by his five children Kristen Clark of East Hartford, Reighel Waugh of Presque Isle, ME., Tuesday-Marie Clark of Hartford, Wayne Clark III of Hartford, Sydney Clark of Hartford, grandchildren; Danice Laura-Rei Beaulieu, Kyriah Brooklynn Zetterman, Benton Russell Levesque, long time friend Douglas Boyer of East Hartford, many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
A Memorial Service celebrating Wayne's life will be on Friday, March 8, 2019 at 1:30pm at Newkirk & Whitney Funeral Home, 318 Burnside Ave., East Hartford, CT. Burial will follow at Silver Lane Cemetery immediately after. Relatives and friends may call at the funeral Chapel on Friday from 11:30am to 1:30pm.
