Charles E. Clark

Charles E. (Ed) Clark died April 24 after a two year battle with liver disease. Ed was a loving husband, brother, brother-in-law, uncle, friend and mentor. Ed retired from Georgia Power after 44 years of service.  He worked as an engineer and project manager in a variety of areas, including distribution, substation test, marketing, and he was a member of the company’s Olympic team where his client was Stone Mountain Park.   He loved to tinker in his shop, and on the family farm in Thomasville.  He loved to help people, especially his family, and was always reaching out to make sure everyone was okay.  Growing up a dog lover, he would tell you he didn’t like cats.  However, he really did, and you could hear him each day talking to his beloved four-legged children, who miss him dearly.  He loved teasing people (sometimes a little to hard) and traveling with friends.  When he discovered estate sales, he found a new passion.  He was so excited whenever he found some “treasures”.  That passion turned into a new job when he began working the sales.  It also brought him a new family of friends.  He loved talking to people & this job gave him a great avenue.  He loved to haggle prices with everyone! He and Del continued to go to sales after he got sick, so he could see his friends, which were both customers and coworkers.   But most of all Ed loved his family.  His loving heart will be missed by many!  Ed is survived by his wife of 27 years, Del Hightower Clark; his brothers David Clark (Tina) of Douglasville, and John Leslie Clark (Cathy) of Kingsland, GA; his sisters Stacey Myrick of Thomasville, and Darlene Daniels (Ken) of Jasper, FLA; brother-in-laws Chris Hightower & Scott  Bartley, Santa Rosa, CA; nephews Justin Myrick (Jessica) of Highlands Ranch, CO, and Joshua Clark, Clearwater, FLA; niece Whitney Myrick McMullen (Robert) of Thomasville,GA; great-nephews Trace McMullen and Mason McMullen of Thomasville, GA.  He was preceded in death by his parents Johnny & Betty Clark; brother-in-law Mark Myrick; and niece Brigitte Bailey.
