Sonny's obituary
Born on February 8, 1948, in the vibrant city of St. Louis, Missouri, Everett was a maestro of many talents. With a blend of music, writing, tinkering, auctions, and a thrift store obsession inherited from his mom, he orchestrated a life filled with harmonic joy and laughter.
Everett had a quick wit that could strike like a well-tuned chord during conversations. He knew just the right notes to play, leaving everyone with a smile on their faces and a playful jab in their hearts, a true maestro of mirth.
In the realm of his occupational endeavors, following a stint as a professional musician, Everett hit his stride while working for Mercedes Benz of North America. His dedication and expertise earned him numerous awards, making him the shining star of the automotive proportion.
Everett's life was a beautiful melody, harmonized by his loving family. He leaves behind his children, Michael Clark,(Jennifer- Ebeler Clark- wife to Michael),Stephen Clark, Matthew Clark, (Stasia Clark- wife to Matthew), Kimberly Pepper (Thomas Hoctor-husband to Kimberly), and Craig Vanhoutte.
The chorus of his legacy continues with his grandchildren Elizabeth Clark, Liam Clark, Chloe and Laney Smith (Children to Michael) Allanah Clark (Daughter of Stephen), Hailey Schipper, Gabriella Clark, and Ryder Clark (Children to Matthew) Aiden and Olivia Vanhoutte (Children to Craig).
He is further survived by his brother Mike Clark and sister Kathy Brungardt (husband Chris.)
Proceeded in death by brother Bill Clark (wife Marnie,) and parents Everett W. Clark and Mary W. Painter.
To honor and celebrate Everett's life, a grand symphony of remembrance will be held on August 5, 2023.
As the final curtain falls on Everett Allen Clark's earthly performance, his spirit will continue to resonate in the hearts of all who had the pleasure of knowing him. May his melody linger in our memories, bringing joyous harmonies to our lives, forever playing in the grand uniformity of existence.
