Paul William Clark

Tribute for Paul W. Clark a.k.a. Dad, Papa, Peepaw, Brother, Uncle, Friend, Skippy, and Sporty

Paul William Clark, of Masury, Ohio, went home to be with the lord and family who preceded him on Monday, November 27, 2023, following a long and courageous fight against an extended illness. He was diagnosed with cancer in 2018 and battled the treatment and sickness that came along with it.  He was 64.

Paul was born on September 5, 1959, in Sharon, Pennsylvania, a son to James L. and Regina Mae (Muldowney) Clark.

Paul went to Brookfield High School, and was from the class of 1977. He worked as a machine operator at U.S. Can in the container products division and at Denman Tire. In addition, he was a member of the USW union while at the plant. A few years later, he worked for his brother Randy at R. Clark & Sons Construction. 

He was a social member of the Wheatland American Legion Post # 432 and the former Masury VFW Post #8860.

In his spare time, while still healthy, Paul enjoyed golfing, fishing, and hunting. He was an avid sports fan, diehard Cleveland fan, most notably the Indians & Browns, as well as an Ohio State Buckeye fan. However, spending time with his wonderful family, most importantly his grandkids, as well as attending their sporting events and activities, is what he loved most. 

Survivors include: his beloved daughter, Jamie Lee (Terry, son-in-law & best friend) Teal, of Masury; adored grandchildren who called him Papa, Gracie Mae (14) & Jackson Paul Teal (11); his honeybun, Cynthia Clark, of Masury; devoted siblings, James, Danny, & Jackie Clark, all of Sharon, Randy (Amy) Clark, of Brookfield, Timmy (April) Clark, of Masury, and Colleen Wright, of Sharon; and his many (many) special nieces & nephews.

Preceded in death are his parents; siblings, Nelly Clark, Candace (Clark) Praznik-Smith, Deborah (Clark) Jajko; and his nephew, Joey Clark.

Paul was a strong, brave, fighter, who was one of a kind, and loved by all. He will be greatly missed. 

A time of memorial gathering in Paul’s honor will be held on Friday, December 1, 2023, from 4-6 PM, in the home of Briceland Funeral Service, LLC, located at 379 State Route 7, SE, Brookfield, Ohio 44403. A memorial service will immediately follow at 6:00 PM.
