Mr. Noah Clark Jr. Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Mr. Noah Clark, Jr. was called home to be with his heavenly father on May 24, 2022 in Plano, Texas. Noah was born on November 2, 1958 in Martin County to the late Noah Clark, Sr. and Cora Lee Little Clark. He enjoyed growing up with his siblings and the family dog, “Bossman.” Because Noah was always large for his age, he was enrolled in the first grade at the age of five years old. He attended and graduated from Martin County Schools. Noah had a passion for sports. He played football and basketball in high school. He excelled in football. He was a member of the 1975 2A State Championship Team at Robersonville High School. In 1976, he started as a defensive tackle in the 1976 East/West All Star football game. Noah was a soft-spoken and easy-going person but was an aggressive “tackling machine” on the football field. Noah received over 20 scholarship offers to college to play football. He decided to play at East Carolina University under the legendary coach Pat Dye. As a 17-year-old freshman, he got his first start in October 1976 against UNC-Chapel Hill, where he recovered two fumbles. He was named the 197 ECU most outstanding freshman football player. After he left ECU, he was invited to the Dallas Cowboys’ Training Camp as a free agent, fulfilling a lifelong dream. He was able to make it to the final roster, though he did not make the team. That experience always remained a treasured memory for him! Once Noah concluded his football career, he began a career with an oil and gas brokerage firm. He later moved to a different type of investment firm. Noah was preceded in death by his parents; three sisters, Peggy Clark McMillan, Gloria James Clark and Lona Lee Clark; one brother, Clifton Earl Clark, Sr. Noah is survived by his wife, Cherrie of Plano, Texas; his two daughters, Meagan Clark of TX and Traci Modica of Tarboro, NC; two grandchildren; two brothers, Russell Clark (Pat) of Ayden, NC, Robert Coefield (Kim) of Jacksonville, FL; one sister, Carolyn Clark King of Chocowinity, NC; six aunts; three uncles; a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
