Maximillian "Max" Joseph Clark
November 06, 2015
Max Clark passed away November 6, 2015 at Methodist Hospital in Des Moines.
He was born April 5, 1995 at home in Boone, Iowa to Jason and Stacey Clark. Max grew up in Stratford, Bettendorf, and Des Moines. In his youth he was involved in basketball, scouts, and a nature study group. Max was homeschooled throughout his life and graduated in 2013. From his teenage years on, he had a strong work ethic. He worked in fields including landscaping, food service, automotive and power tool repair. After graduation he drove across the country to pursue his dream of independence in Seattle, Washington.
Max will forever be remembered as an avid reader, an incorrigible prankster, and a curious traveler. He enjoyed Dungeons and Dragons, working on cars, music, science and debate.
He is survived by his parents; sisters, Anna and Freedom; grandparents, John and Diana Clark, Randall Gould, Karen (Richard) McMahon; and many other loving family and friends
A celebration of Max’s life will be held on Saturday, November 14, 2015, at 12 p.m. at Hamilton’s near Highland Memory Gardens, 121 NW 60th Ave. in Des Moines. Visitation will occur Friday evening from 4-7 p.m. also at the funeral home.

We are so sorry. He was a big part of the kids' childhood. We had fun with the play dates and our little 4-H group. It was so good to visit with him last year at Madison's graduation. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and will continue to be.

I cannot begin to imagine the depths of pain the loss of your beloved son has caused for your family. I can only offer my sincerest condolences and the hope that some measure of comfort can be found in the knowledge that while he was here, he was deeply loved, and will be strongly missed.

So sorry for your loss. Losing a loved one is one of the most painful things in this world. But rest assured that Jehovah our God sees our sorrows and deeply cares about us. (1Peter 5:7) May you find comfort in God's word recorded in John 5:28,29 which promises a resurrection hope for all our dear loved ones.
