DMC Suffers a great loss

Postby 66Cooper » Wed Feb 24, 2010 6:56 pm

One of our founding members and a great friend and beloved member of the DMC, Clark Roushey has passed away.

Clark was always a joy to be around, a positive voice and supportive in every way of the club and club members passed away in Tucson on Monday February 22, 2010 after a brief battle with cancer. Clark was a car nut and enthusiast who had a love of life and was bigger than life in spirit and enthusiasm. He will be missed by all that knew him.

We send our condolences to Clarks family, and especially his wife Marlee who was always there with him and bringing us all joy at the MADMEN functions.

Memorial services will be March 14th 2010. 3:30 pm

This is indeed sad news. My thoughts go out to Marlee and the rest of his family. He will definitely be missed by many, including me.

Such a loss.

We will always remember Clark's smile, his love of cars, and his great courage. Our prayers and love go out to Marlee.

God bless.

Just saw that Marlee posted Clark's service information on Facebook.

Clark's memorial service and life celebration will be Sunday March14 @ 3:00PM at Christ Church Methodist near Craycroft and 5th (in Tucson). There will be a traditional service with music Clark was able to plan and a reception with food and stories and pictures to share.

And another quote from Marlee's facebook page:

It was 6 months of trying to find a cause for Clark's symptoms and about 6 weeks from diagnosis to his death. We need early detection! The Lustgarten foundation has the American Cancer Society approval as a legitimate source. Their direct site address is lustgarten.org. Give what you can.
