Blain E. Clark, 82, of Trevorton Rd., Coal Twp., passed away Thursday, April 9, at his home.

 

Blain was born April 25,1943, in Shamokin, a son of the late John and Grace (Backes) Clark.  On March 24, 1961, he married Judith A. Clark, who preceded him in death on  August 19, 2023.

 

He attended Beth-El Union Chapel, Sunbury and was a lifetime member of the Rescue Fire Company in Shamokin.

 

Blain was known as a true social butterfly, someone who could light up a room with laughter and conversation.  He had a deep love for life's simple joys and cherished time spent at the Selinsgrove racetrack, camping, roller skating and square dancing throughout his life.  

 

Above all he treasured family gatherings and spending time with his grandchildren.  He also enjoyed spending time with Patches, his loyal puppy.

 

Blain is survived by his daughters Penny Fisher (Bill). Candi Parks (Kenneth Sessions), his son Tracy Clark (Anne), grandchildren Tonya, Brett, Ashley, Amber, Lindsey, Alyssa "Stinker", and Gabby, great grandchildren Camden, Mason, Levi, Emily, Brynna, Gunnar, and Jameson, great-great-granddaughter Sapphire, his sister Barbara Madrak and his aunt Bertha Beckes.

 

He was preceded in death by his brother Buster Clark.

 

The family would like to extend special thanks to his caregivers Ruth Ann and KJ.

 

At this time there will be no services.

 

Arrangements are by the Blank Funeral Home, 395 State Street, Sunbury.
