Bryan Clark "Clarky", 55, of Toronto, OH, passed away Thursday, Dec. 19, 2024, unexpectedly at Trinity West ER in Steubenville, OH, to be reunited with his family and friends who he missed so dearly.

Bryan was born October 28, 1969, in Steubenville, son of Howard Clark and late Cathy Weaver (Conn). He was also preceded in death by Cathy's husband Dexter, maternal & paternal grandparents, Uncle John, and Uncle Mike.

From the moment he was born, it was obvious that Bryan was special. He went on to be the best son to Howard & Cathy, and the best brother a girl could ask for to Heather & Brianna, who he loved so much. Bryan married his sweetheart Melanie in May of 1999, where he then took on the role of an awesome husband, and an AMAZING dad to Britni, Kelsey & Emilee. He was an absolute legend at fulfilling these roles, and this role also fulfilled him. He never missed an opportunity to tell his girls how much he loved them & how proud he was of them all.

Clarky lived life to the absolute fullest. Finding him in one place would be impossible. You could find him celebrating life by hanging out with his family, enjoying watching his legacy, his grandchildren, come to fruition, working his butt off, riding his Harley, or having a beer with his "favorite grumpy old men" at the White Front after work, or running his best boy, Charlie, down at the Stratton Park.

Bryan will always be remembered and was truly the best to so many people. Trying to include everything that was amazing about this man, that is an impossible task, (if you know you know). He will forever live on through the hearts of everyone who loved him, and that was everybody who he found deserving of his love.

He is survived by his father, Howard (Linda) Clark; sisters, Heather (Scott) Allen, Brianna (Kyle) Sims; his "Babe" (wife), Melanie (Knight) Clark; daughters, Britni (Bill) Weaver, Kelsey (Derek) Pendergrast, Emilee (Nicky Poo-Poo) Jackson; grandchildren, Bailee, Elijah, Laila, Brynnly, Olivia 'OG', and Anthony; nieces and nephews, Triston, Taylor, Alexis, Chase & Evelyn.

Visitation will take place on Sunday, Dec. 22 from 2 PM to 6 PM at the J.E. Foster Funeral Home in Toronto where his funeral will be held Monday at 11 AM. His friend, Brian Owens will officiate, and burial will follow in the Island Creek Cemetery in Toronto.

Bryans wishes were to do the damn thing.
