    Michael Clark

    March 18, 1961 - August 28, 2020

    I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. Michael Earl Clark was born March 18, 1961 in Vicksburg, Mississippi to Daniel Williams and Lela M. Clark. Michael was raised in the South until his family moved to Kankakee, IL. He attended and graduated from Eastridge High School in 1980 where he was an amazing track star. After graduation, Michael attended Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College from 1981-1982 where he played football and continued to run track. Michael was a hardworking man who finally succeeded in owning his own business, Inner City Solutions, a magazine ordering company. Michael loved his family, especially his mother and children. He loved the family cookouts and he had a great heart and a willingness to help anyone that he could. He was a people person and his favorite football team was the New Orleans Saints. He leaves to cherish his memory, his mother, Lela M. (Dennis) Verrette of Kankakee, IL; one son, Delshun Price (Rheann) of Gilman, IL; two daughters and one son-in-law, LaQuanda and Marcus Nelson of McDonough, GA and Alyncia Clark of Cordova, TN; four brothers and three sisters-in-law, Sammie and Bertha Clark, Billy B. Clark and Willie G. and Kim Reed, all of Kankakee, IL and Daniel Jr. and Angela Williams of Bakersfield, CA; three sisters and one brother-in-law, Lillian Laster of Mayersville, Mississippi, Eunice Weathers of Chicago, IL and Bonnie and Fred Gyles (who was like a brother) of Kankakee, IL; a special friend, Debra Prothro of Rolling Fork, Mississippi; four grandchildren, Anthony (Jordan) Clark, Marcus Nelson, Janiece Nelson and Zola DeeAnn Price; two great-grandchildren, Ameena Clark and Jy’ri Clark, all of McDonough, GA and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by his father, Daniel Williams Sr. and two brothers, Willie Wayne Clark and Patrick Williams.
