Ronald W. Clark, 82, of South Shore, KY went to be with his Lord, Sunday, May 25, 2025, at Kings Daughters Medical Center in Ashland, KY. He was born in South Shore, KY., September 27, 1942, a son of the late Mearl H. and Thelma Louise Carpenter Clark.
Ron was a United States Army Veteran stationed in Munich, Germany. He was a 50-year member of the Harrison Fullerton Masonic Lodge #937. He retired from Dayton Walther Foundry, was a lifetime member of Disabled American Veterans and a devoted parishioner of the Church of the Nazarene in South Shore, KY.
Along with his parents, he is preceded in death by two sisters, Janice Colene Reeves and Pamela Adkins, two brothers, Lloyd Clark and Michael Clark.
Left behind to cherish his memory are three daughters, Gabriele “Lillie” (Charles) Leach of Talcott, WV., Oneda (Bryan) Lambert of Berry, KY., and Rhonda Clark of Lexington, KY; one brother, Roger Clark of South Portsmouth, KY; three grandchildren, Samantha Lambert of Cynthiana, KY., Joshua Lambert of Berry, KY., and Kimberly (Elijah Reffett) Lambert of Cynthiana, KY.; one great-granddaughter, Sutton Reffett; lots of nieces and nephews, along with several other family and friends, who will sadly miss him.
Our Dad was proud of his 25 years of service and serving as President of the union at Dayton Walther. He worked hard and strived to improve safety, salary, health and other benefits for the union membership.
Dad loved his family, his country, the flag, eagles, hunting and fishing, and most especially GOD.
His collection of taxidermy, deer/antlers, turkey, bass, bobcat and black squirrel to name a few, reflects on his love of hunting and fishing.
Dad spent his last few days reaching out to friends and family, taking the opportunity to say goodbye, and telling them he loved them. His daughters are extremely grateful he had this opportunity.
His daughters would like to thank family, friends, and the South Shore community, who have EVER helped their Dad. They also wish to thank the four nurses who took care of their Dad in his last days: Billie, Terry, Marcy, and Joinah. KDMC-6J Respiratory Floor.
