Obituary for Michael Anthony Clark

Michael Anthony Clark, age 70 of Kenton, passed away Wednesday, April 16, 2025 at OSU Medical Center in Columbus. He was born on June 8, 1954 to the late Lester and Gloria (Brown) Clark. On November 22, 2006, he married Terri (Petitt) Clark and she survives in Kenton.

There are no words to express the depth of love Michael had for God and his family. He valued them above all else. Left to cherish his memory include daughter Monica (Antonio) Gagliano of Kenton; son Adam Lamb of Kenton; special godson Domanic Sloan of Kenton; sisters: Terri (Jesse Pullian, dec.) Holloway of Kenton; Andrea (Dwaymon, dec.) Warren of Cincinnati; Leslie Moore of Cincinnati; granddaughter Jael Lamb; and several other nephews, nieces, and cousins.

Mike was a graduate of Kenton High School, class of 1972, then continued his education at the University of Cincinnati, where he played for the Cincinnati Bearcats Football team and later received his associate’s degree. He then worked as an area supervisor and storeroom manager for AEP for many years until his retirement.

His faith in God was very important to him and he expressed that by serving on the steward board of Payne Chapel AME Church. He was passionate about sports, having been the assistant coach for the Kenton Wildcats Football Team for 20 years. He loved the Cincinnati Bengals, golfing, and listening to Jazz and praise music.

Mike was a wonderful husband, father, and grandfather who left this world too soon. He loved his family and will be greatly missed.
