Michael George Clark

Michael G. Clark, 49, a lifelong resident of South Jersey, passed away suddenly on March 25, 2026, just months shy of his 50th birthday. Though he lived throughout the region, Michael always found his way back to Gloucester Township, where he was raised and spent most of his life.

Michael dedicated over 30 years of his career as a skilled pipefitter with Local UA 322 Steamfitters Union. He took great pride in his work and the brotherhood he shared within the trade.

A proud graduate of Highland High School, Michael was recently honored with induction into the school's Hall of Fame as a member of the 1994 State Cross Country Championship Team-an achievement that reflected his dedication, determination, and team spirit.

Michael was predeceased by his father, James A. Clark Sr. He is survived by his mother, Joan Benko (Hackett); his stepfather, John Benko; his brother, James Clark, and sister-in-law, Rayanna Clark; his niece, Alexa Clark; his nephew, Colin Clark; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Michael was recently Baptized and was honored to become a member of Bethel Christian Church.

He will be remembered for his strong work ethic, loyalty, love of cars, extreme fondness of eating and the deep connection he maintained to his hometown and community. Michael's sense of humor was strictly for his own amusement but to know him was to love him.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend his visitation on Friday, April 3, 2026, from 10:00 AM-11:00 AM at LeRoy P. Wooster Funeral Home & Crematory, located at 441 White Horse Pike, Atco, NJ 08004. A memorial service will begin at 11:00 AM at the funeral home.
