Richard Hugh Clark (Rick) of Reston, Virginia, passed away Tuesday, June 1st,
2021, in his home surrounded by family and loved ones. He was born and raised in
Newburgh, NY, where he attended Newburgh Free Academy before attending
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and James Madison University. Rick was a
force to be reckoned with and left behind a remarkable legacy, including his
life's work creating Clark Financial Solutions. He was a devoted father
dedicated to ensuring his children learned life's most useful and valuable
lessons. He was the most gracious and generous person and always wore his heart
on his sleeve. Rick was an avid sports enthusiast, even after surviving stage 4
cancer in his 50's. He loved skiing, on the water or snow, ice-boating, flying,
and fishing. Rick poured his heart and soul into everything he did; whether
rebuilding a car or raising his children, he did it with all of his heart. If
you met Rick, you fell in love with his charisma; it was contagious. He made
sure his home was always full of laughter, dancing, and music. Rick was a
ferocious supporter of various charities and loved all puppies he encountered.
He was a pillar of our community, and will be remembered with gratitude. He was
greatly loved and will be sorely missed. Rick is predeceased by his parents John
and June Clark of Newburgh, NY, along with his brothers Michael and Mark Clark
and his grandson Jackson Tucker. Rick is survived by his brother and sister,
David Clark and Gail Caldwell, and his children Carrie Scott and her husband
Jeff Scott, RJ Clark, Megan Clark and her husband James Tucker, and his
grandchildren, Hudson and Colette Scott. Rick always celebrated this life, and
we will continue to celebrate his life in a memorial service to follow later in
the year. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
