WHEREAS, The certain knowledge of a life well lived may |
|
|
temper the profound sadness felt at the death of Donald Joe Clark of |
|
|
Chico on September 25, 2014, at the age of 52; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Donald Clark was born in Muleshoe on March 21, 1962, |
|
|
to Joe and Jean Clark; he shared three decades of marriage with his |

wife, Lori, and took great pride in his sons, J. D. and Jesse, as |
|
|
well as his three grandchildren; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, A 1980 graduate of Chico High School, Mr. Clark |
|
|
owned and operated a welding and construction business, but he was |
|
|
best known in the community as the longtime voice of the Chico High |
|
|
Dragons football team; for 21 years, he was a beloved fixture on |
|
|
fall Friday nights, calling the action on the gridiron from the |
|
|
press box he constructed himself; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Clark benefited his alma mater in numerous other |
|
|
capacities, including service on the Chico school board; his |
|
|
hobbies included employing his vocal talents as an auctioneer and |
|
|
rodeo announcer, and he was an avid music and NASCAR fan; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Although Donald Clark is deeply missed, he leaves |
|
|
behind a legacy that will long be treasured by all those who held |
|
|
him dear; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Donald Joe Clark and |
|

|
|

|
|
prepared for his family and that when the Texas House of |
