It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Phillip David Clark, 74, of Welches, Oregon. He passed away peacefully in his sleep on October 16, 2024. Phil was born in Portland to Vernon Terry and Mae Hazel Clark on July 22, 1950. He went on to graduate from David Douglas High School in 1968. Phil became a contractor, building and remodeling homes and hotels all around the country. Phil married Linda Bolster, and they celebrated their 53rd wedding anniversary this August. Phil loved playing and watching baseball, even sliding into the bases well into adulthood. He was a big fan of Smoky the Bear, buffalo, and his pugs. He enjoyed hunting with his family and friends every year, and the card games they played together in the tent at night. He is survived by his wife Linda, his three kids, Jessica, Alex, and Carrie, and seven grandkids, Owen, Evan, Mason, Zia, Jaxson, Jace, and Reya. He’s also left behind a large extended family of relatives that made his life so full of love and laughs. He was a family man all the way, always there for
us no matter what, and we all miss him dearly. He had friends everywhere he went, with his charming wit and great laugh, he knew how to fill a room with love. He often reminded us that “All you need is love.” Phil was predeceased by his parents, and his two brothers, Robert Terry and Charles Harvey Clark. A celebration of Phil’s life will be held at Alpine Events, 73365 US-26, Rhododendron, OR 97049, on November 30 from 1 to 4 p.m.. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that tributes be paid through the fund set up by the Lion’s Club to help contribute to his memorial at
