James F. Clark Jr.

James F. Clark, Jr., 83, of Erial, New Jersey, passed away peacefully on March 7, 2026, surrounded by his family.

Born on April 17, 1942, James was the son of the late James F. Clark, Sr. and Mildred (Dempsey) Clark. He was predeceased by his sisters, Jane Beadling and Virginia Clark. He is survived by his sisters, Mildred Beehler and Barbara Toon, as well as many nieces, nephews, dear friends.

James was a hardworking, devoted, and caring family man who always put the needs of others before his own. He spent much of his life in South Jersey, where he lived a simple and quiet life, though farming was always in his blood. In his later years, he enjoyed tending his garden and sharing the many fruits and vegetables it produced with family and friends.

James will be remembered for his steady presence, his dry sense of humor and the many lives he touched throughout his 83 years.

A graveside service and celebration of life will be held on Saturday, March 21, 2026, at 11:30 a.m. at Sicklerville Church Cemetery, 406 Church Road, Sicklerville, NJ 08081.
