Dedicated friend, family member, dies at 47
• Donald
Allen Clark
Funeral services were held for
Donald Allen Clark on Monday,
Oct. 6 at Bethel A.M.E Church. He
died Sept. 30 due to a ruptured
appendix.
He was bom Aug. 21, 1956 in
Portland to Doshie Lee Clark and
II i lary Thomas Clark, the eighth o f
nine children.
He attended Highland Elemen
tary, John Adams High School and
the University ofOregon. While in
elementary school, he was selected
as a member o f the Portland Rose
Festival JuniorCourt. His selection
was based on his poetic interpreta
tion o f the festival theme: “From the
Music Stand.” Resplendent in his
vanilla icecream-colored suit, straw
hat and cape, Clark was the first
African-American male on the jun
ior court and a member o f the last
court that had both boys and girls.
The Royal Rosarians planted a rose
bush in his honor at the Peninsula
Park Rose Garden.
As a young child, Clark was
extrem ely inquisitive. He always
wanted to know what made things
"tick.” He becam e proficient at
analyzing, repairing and assem
bling m achinery. Ifh is dad could
not get a power mower to work, he
could.
H is c o lle c tio n o f v in ta g e
C adillacs is a testam ent to his
love o f tinkering with motors and
habit o f fixing things. He once
spent years trying to find one o f
his stolen Cadillacs. When he
thought he had found it, he w ired
the ignition so that the car would
only start if som eone sat on the
passenger side and then lifted
themselves from the seat and back
dow n again.
In addition to cars, Clark loved
all things 70s. It was really hard to
get him out o f his bell bottoms and
polyester! He took great pride in his
appearance and was known to visit
his hair stylist on a weekly basis;
finally trading an electric organ to
the stylist in a bartering exchange
for his weekly trips.
