David worked as a landman for Clark Energy Company for 20 years, before his retirement a year ago. David loved life and always had as much fun as he could, finding life an adventure. He was one of the original members of the Krewe of Bar-B-Kewe in the Highland Mardi Gras parade. He was a proud blood donor and donated over 20 gallons of blood over the years. David was a member of the Shongaloo Hunt Club where he loved to hunt, play cards and ride his Polaris Razor. He was a season ticket holder for LSU football games and was a diehard Tigers fan. He and Nell took great pleasure in taking their grandchildren to the games. He will also be remembered for his colorful collection of New Orleans Jazz Festival shirts and LSU dress shirts. He was preceded in death by his parents and son, Carey A. Clark. David is survived by his adoring wife, to whom he always referred as "my beautiful bride" through out their 46 years of marriage; his daughter and son-in-law, Camille and Thomas Jones; grandchildren, Annabelle, Abbey and Lily Jones and David Clark Rimmer; surrogate grandchildren, Bennett, Sarah, Mary, Beau, Alex and Amelie Rimmer, children of Dr. Trey and Rachel Rimmer.
