Dennis B. Clark

Dennis B. Clark was a longtime resident of West Milton, Ohio, remembered by his family as a devoted father, grandfather and great-grandfather who spent his free time fishing, hunting for mushrooms and collecting antiques. He was not a public figure in the conventional sense, with no record of elected office, professional career achievements or media prominence, and his life is documented primarily through the obituary issued by his family's funeral home rather than through news coverage or a Wikipedia biography.

Clark was born on July 11, 1941, in Dayton, Ohio, to Robert Clark and Peggy (Pinkerton) Hall. He spent the greater part of his adult life in West Milton, a small village in Miami County, Ohio, where he was known within his family and community circle for his steady, easygoing presence and his love of the outdoors.

He married MaryAnn (Onuszczak) Clark, who predeceased him in 2023, and the couple raised two daughters together. According to the family's published obituary, Clark enjoyed going fishing, mushroom hunting, collecting antiques and, as the notice put it in its characteristically plainspoken way, an ice cold salted beer. These small, specific details, rather than any public record of career or civic achievement, form the basis of what is publicly known about him.

Dennis B. Clark died peacefully on Saturday, October 24, 2026, at the age of 85. His death was announced through an obituary published by Hale Sarver Family Funeral Home of West Milton, Ohio, which handled the arrangements. No cause of death was given in the notice.

He is remembered by his daughters, Julie Williams and Jenny Baker, by six grandchildren, one great grandchild, and by two surviving siblings. He was preceded in death by his wife MaryAnn, his parents, and a sister. The family has not publicized a date for services, and no broader public tributes have been reported, consistent with his life as a private individual rather than a figure of public note.
