Larry "Shorty" Clark, age 52 of Ottumwa, Iowa, formerly of Numa, Iowa, passed away Monday, December 22, 2014 at the Ottumwa Regional Health center.
Born January 6, the son of Rex and Doris(Hayes)Clark, Larry lived most of his life at his childhood home in Numa. He was married to Teri McFatridge until 2007 and to this union two children were born, Gary Wayne and Larry Dean. Larry was a devoted father and some of his fondest memories were coaching Little League baseball and watching his boys wrestle. He was a strong advocate for Centerville wrestling, including Centerville Mat Club.
"Shorty" was employed in the Union Masonry for most of his life and constructed many of the large buildings and schools around Iowa, mostly in the Des Moines Metro area. He was currently working for Weitz Construction in Wever, Iowa at the OCI Iowa Fertilizer Plant.
Larry was engaged to be married to Christina Carnahan of Ottumwa. At the home they shared, he enjoyed raising chickens, ducks, guineas and geese...he was a poultry aficionado. Besides his love of poultry, Larry loved trail rides and watching Chris's daughter and son complete in Rodeos. Larry also enjoyed Sunday country drives with his fiancé, with no destination in mind.
Larry attended church at Faith Baptist in Ottumwa. Within the last few years, he developed a close relationship with Jesus Christ. Because of his salvation and the way he lived his life, Larry spread the seed of the Gospel to everyone around him.
