Clark Myers Walker

Clark Myers Walker returned to his Heavenly Father on August 3, 2026, at the age of 85. A devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, educator, outdoorsman, patriot, and disciple of Jesus Christ, Clark lived a remarkable life centered on faith, family, hard work, and service to others.

Above everything else, Clark loved his family. He was an extraordinary husband to his beautiful wife and eternal companion, Diane. They shared 64 years of marriage filled with faith, devotion, hard work, service, and love. Clark loved Diane more than life itself. Their marriage was a beautiful example of loyalty, tenderness, and eternal commitment.

Clark was a devoted father to his nine children and a beloved Grandpa and Great-Grandpa. He and Diane were blessed with 54 grandchildren and 90 great-grandchildren. Clark was incredibly proud of his posterity and found tremendous joy in watching his family grow. He treasured every opportunity to teach, guide, serve, and spend time with them.

Clark was born January 21, 1941, in Wellsville, Utah, to Morris and Sylvia Walker. He was raised on a farm, where he learned the value of hard work and developed a lifelong love for farming, gardening, hunting, fishing, and the outdoors.

When Clark was six years old, he was run over while picking sugar beets. The accident caused back problems that remained with him throughout his life. He was often unable to stand completely straight and lived with constant pain, but he never complained. He simply kept moving forward, working hard, serving others, and enjoying life.

Clark graduated from Utah State University in 1966 and began his career as an educator at Bryce Valley High School. He taught there until 1974, when he and Diane moved their growing family—then eight children—to Fountain Green so he could teach his children how to farm, work hard, and provide for one another.

In 1976, Clark returned to education, teaching elementary school and later serving as principal of Fountain Green Elementary School until his retirement in 2000. He had an absolute passion for education and genuinely loved his students. Former students, including some he taught as far back as 1966, continued to stop by his Fountain Green home to visit him throughout his life.

The lessons Clark taught extended far beyond the classroom. He believed in his students, encouraged them, and left a lasting impression on generations of children and families. To know Clark was to love him.

Retirement from education did not mean retirement from work. Clark began working alongside his sons in plumbing and later started what became a 25-year career with his sprinkler business. He always said he wanted to live to be 100 and believed continuing to work would help him get as close to that goal as possible.

Clark did not want to retire and continued working until only a year and a half before his passing. His determination, resilience, and willingness to keep going despite pain and physical challenges inspired everyone around him.

Clark’s testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ was at the center of everything he did. He loved his Heavenly Father and had a close and personal relationship with Him. His family considered him one of the finest examples of Christlike living they had ever known. He was as close to God on earth as a person could be, and his faith was evident not only in the words he spoke, but in the way he treated every person he encountered.

One of Clark’s greatest joys was serving in the Manti Utah Temple alongside his sweetheart. He and Diane treasured their time serving together and continued until the temple closed. His love for the temple, the gospel, his Savior, and his Heavenly Father remained steadfast throughout his life.

Clark also deeply loved his country. He believed strongly in freedom, personal responsibility, service, and the principles upon which the nation was founded. For many years, he served as the local Republican Party chair for Fountain Green City, generously giving his time and energy in support of the values he held dear.

Fishing was Clark’s first love in the outdoors. One of his favorite sayings was, “Time spent fishing was not deducted from a man’s life.”

Clark learned fly tying from his father at a very young age and became an expert fisherman. He taught his sons, daughters, grandsons, granddaughters, great-grandchildren, and many others how to fish. Although he enjoyed catching fish, what mattered most to him was the experience—the peaceful silence, the beauty of the outdoors, and the time spent with those he loved.

One of his favorite places was Otter Creek, where he could sit in his chair, cast a line, and seemingly never need to move. Whether he was ice fishing, fly fishing, or fishing from the bank of a pond, Clark had a remarkable ability to catch his limit.

Although Clark had sight in only one eye, his family often said the vision in his good eye was better than that of most people with two. He could spot fish, wildlife, and details in the distance that everyone else had missed.

Hunting was another great passion. Clark taught all nine of his children how to hunt and how to provide meat for their families through the winter. At age 84, he successfully harvested an elk. Just days before his passing, he was already making plans for the upcoming hunting season.

Clark spent several years working at Doc Warner’s fishing resort in Alaska. The first year, he and Diane went together and worked at the resort. On the trips that followed, Clark took one of his sons with him each time, creating treasured memories they would carry throughout their lives.

Following his last season working there, Clark suffered a heart attack on the journey home and underwent open-heart surgery. Although he was unable to return to work at the resort, he never lost his desire to go back.

That dream was fulfilled just two weeks before his passing, when Clark was given the opportunity to spend a week at Doc Warner’s as a guest rather than an employee. He fished for halibut and salmon and was surrounded by wonderful people who cared for him and made the experience unforgettable.

Clark said Heavenly Father had blessed him with great people to wait on him and with the health and strength to truly enjoy the trip and be able to fish. It was a beautiful final adventure, the fulfillment of a longtime dream, and a tender mercy from the Heavenly Father he loved so dearly.

Clark was also an expert gardener. He and Diane worked side by side to grow a large and productive garden every year. Together, they taught their children how to prepare the ground, plant, care for the garden, harvest its bounty, and preserve what they had grown. As with so many things in Clark’s life, gardening was about much more than the harvest. It was about working together, providing for family, and passing valuable knowledge from one generation to the next.

Clark’s influence cannot be measured simply by the positions he held or the years he spent teaching and working. His true legacy lives in Diane, their children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, former students, and the countless people who became better because they knew him.

He taught by example, loved without condition, worked without complaint, and lived each day with faith in his Heavenly Father. His family will deeply miss his wisdom, quiet strength, gentle spirit, stories, outdoor adventures, and unwavering love. They find comfort in knowing he has returned to the Heavenly Father he loved so dearly and that the relationships he treasured will continue throughout eternity.

Clark was preceded in death by his parents, Morris and Sylvia Walker; his brothers, Lee, William, Ralph, and Charlie; his sisters, Lavon, Venna, Dora, and Melba; his grandson, Tyson; his great-grandsons, Tytan, and Treighton; and his daughter-in-law, Camellia Seely Walker.

He is survived by his beloved wife and eternal companion, Diane; and their nine children: Danny (Marli) of Spring City, Utah; Jeff (Michelle) of Fountain Green, Utah; Troy (Dawn) of Pleasant Grove, Utah; Leanna (Bernie) of Sandy, Utah; Daren (Melissa) of Spanish Fork, Utah; Melissa of Mapleton, Utah; Melinda (Rick) of Ephraim, Utah; Cory (Nisi) of Salem, Utah; and Dustin (Tabitha) of Terre Haute, Indiana. He is also survived by his 54 grandchildren, 90 great-grandchildren, and many cherished extended family members, friends, and former students.
