Carl Kirk Clocher, 56, of Peabody, passed away to be with God on February 23 rd. at Salem Hospital after a short battle with cancer and pneumonia.  His loss is completely unexpected, and his family and friends are profoundly saddened.  Carl was born in Salem to Linda D. Clocher and Alfred G. Clocher the 3 rd. on October 7, 1967.  He graduated from Peabody High School and went on to become a talented landscaper working with his father and then on his own.  Carl loved to be outside with nature and had a huge heart for family and friends.  He embodied the best of qualities: unconditional love, strength of spirit and unending generosity that could be seen in his care for his mother and many fur babies along the way.  He would help anyone in need and will be terribly missed.  Carl is preceded in death by his father Alfred G. Clocher the 3 rd. and grandparents Alfred and Caroline Clocher.  Carl is survived by his mother Linda Clocher, sister Heather Clocher and his Aunt Christine Clocher.
