One of his favorite sayings was “Is there anything else you want?” Jeff had a reputation of spoiling kids whether they were his grand kids or any kids he came in contact with. His two must haves were his coffee and his beer. Jeff was preceded in death by his parents, his brothers, Eddie Clark and Naycola Clark, his sisters, Claudia Mae Clark and Abigail Williams. He leaves to cherish his memory: three sons, Brian Anderson and Jacoba Clark of Toledo, Ohio, and Ja’Cion Clark of Dallas, Texas; three daughters, Jackie Clark of Memphis, Tennessee, Kesha Anderson and Cynthia Anderson of Toledo, Ohio; six brothers, Joe (Bettye) Clark, Jr. of Dumas, Arkansas, Melvin Clark and Cornell (Poncho) Clark, of Helena, Arkansas, James Clark, Sr. of St. Louis, Missouri, Darrow (Vonda) Clark of Norfolk, Virginia, Michael Clark of Pine Bluff, Arkansas; four sisters, Clee (Ben) Price of Houston, Texas, Patricia Ashanti of Little Rock, Arkansas, Vivian (Charles) Holloway of Jacksonville, Arkansas, and Shirley Clark of Pine Bluff, Arkansas; one uncle, Eddie B.
