Victor Gay Clark, 90, of Alkol, WV, went home to be with the Lord Saturday, January 26, 2019. Victor was a retired coal miner from Hobet Mining. He was a member of the Left Fork Baptist Church and has been a child of God for over 41 years.
He was a beloved husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. Next to God, he loved his family (and cutting wood) more than anything.
Victor was born on August 16, 1928, to the late Tom and Mattie Clark. He was also preceded in death by his loving wife of 67 years Opal (Vickers) Clark, brothers Johnny, Mason, Cline and Dennis Clark, daughter-in-law Judy Clark, and great grand-daughter Abigayle Fleshman.
He is survived by his sons Rocky (Glenda) Clark and Tony (Wilma) Clark both of Alkol and daughter Shirley (Bob) Connolly of Turtle Creek, grandchildren Carol Lee Miller, Wendy Perschau, Dody (Nathan) Bragg and Wendy (Joey) Boardman all of Alkol, Clint (Sheila) Clark of Julian, Angela (Brent) Fleshman of Culloden, Amanda Clark of Saint Albans, Jordan (Laura) Clark of South Charleston, great-grandchildren Kyle, Katie, Danielle, Blake, Ethan, Emma, Joseph, Brielle, Dylann, Avery, Gracen, and Trinity Ruby’s arrival expected in April. Victor also leaves behind brothers Corvan (Virginia) Clark of Ohio and Irvin (Betty) Clark of Foster, many nieces, nephews and dear friends.
Service will be 11:00 a.m. Tuesday, January 29, at the Left Fork Baptist Church in Alkol with Pastor Randell Kinder officiating. Burial will follow at the Clark Family Cemetery in Alkol.
The family will receive friends from 6 to 8 p.m. Monday at Curry Funeral Home, 2097 Childress Road, Alum Creek.
Wonderful family. So sorry. Love and prayers.

The ancient man Job once stated “If a man dies, can he live again? I will wait until my relief comes. You will call and I will answer you. You will long for the work of your hands.” These words show that Job had faith in three areas. He knew that he could live again. God could restore Job’s life, and He longed to use His almighty power to resurrect ones from death. (Job 14:13-15) May you draw comfort in God’s promise to return our dear ones to us. (John 5:28,29) Please accept my heartfelt condolences.
My sincere condolances to the family.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I will be unable to attend the funeral but wanted you all to know your in my prayers. I’m sure he will be greatly missed by all. Sending Love and Prayers, Dreama Clark VanBibber
