Timothy J. Clark

Timothy J. Clark, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend, passed away at his residence peacefully with his wife and daughter by his side from a bravely fought battle with cancer on Monday, January 27, 2025, at the age of 75.  

He was born on May 29, 1949, in Olean, New York, to Samuel and June (Schwab) Clark.  

Timothy was a graduate of McDowell High School, after which he served honorably in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. Upon returning home, he worked for GTE for 11 years. He retired from the Erie VA Hospital where he worked in maintenance for 25 years. Known for his great sense of humor and ability to make anyone laugh, Tim brought the element of surprise to all who knew him. Over the years, he enjoyed fishing with his brothers, children, and grandchildren on the waters of Presque Isle, Walnut Creek, Elk Creek and Struchen Flats. Tim loved going for rides around the beach with his wife. He often reminisced about his childhood with his cousins in Duke Center, Pennsylvania.  

In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his infant sister, Christine, sister-in-law, Janet Clark and nephew, Mick Clark.  

Timothy leaves behind to cherish him in memory his loving wife of 45 years, Barbara (Wilkins) Clark and three children: Timothy, Bryan, and Lindsey. He loved and was so proud of his three granddaughters, Madeleine, Sophia, and Willow. He is further survived by his brothers, Michael (Lottie) and Mark (Melodie) Clark, sister-in-law Carol (Wilkins) Bruno, brother-in-law Dick Wilkins (Carol), nephews Marty Clark and Cameron Wilkins. Survivors also include great nephews and nieces, Andrew, Nicole, Joseph, and Jacob Clark. His “puppy”, Tucker, will also miss him dearly.  

Following Tim's wishes, no services will be held. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date in the spring.  

Arrangements are entrusted to the Burton Quinn-Scott Cremation & Funeral Services Inc. West Ridge, 3801 West 26th Street, Erie, Pennsylvania 16506.
