Obituary for Gary Malcolm Clarke
Gary Malcolm Clarke
June 1, 1955 – March 3, 2022
It is with great sadness that the family of Gary Malcolm Clarke announces his sudden passing on March 3, 2022. He was a rock to his children and grandchildren and his kindness and strong presence will forever be missed by all who knew him.
Gary was predeceased by his father, Malcolm, sisters Joanne and Bernice, and good friend Kay Rowsell. He leaves to mourn daughters Amanda and Tracy-Lynn Goosney (David); granddaughters Amelia and Julia; Mother Dorothy; Siblings Don (Doreen), Barbara Roberts (Jerome), Helen Norman (Robert), Roland, Kevin (Marsha), Judy Jenkins, Barry (Christine), Lorna Goulding, and Roxanne Goudie (Troy); and a multitude of nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, and friends.
Gary was an avid outdoorsman and proud Forest Fire Fighter, and was more comfortable in the woods than anywhere else. He had a hearty laugh and sense of humor and a strong love of animals. He took particular delight in the antics of his granddaughters and couldn’t resist spoiling them at every opportunity. He loved his family greatly with everything he had and leaves a void that can never be filled. We will forever love and cherish you, Poppy Gar.
Family and Friends wishing to attend the Celebration of Life service are asked to register by email to tilly.clarke@hotmail.com or by phone (709) 673-3291.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Gary’s memory to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.
