Clark Joseph Robin, a beloved member of the Cracklin Cookoff Association, Aphasia Center of Acadiana, and St. Martin Parish Shooting Sport Club, was born on February 1, 1960, in St. Martinville, Clark's life was filled with joy, laughter, and a profound dedication to his community.

Clark never met a stranger; his warm and inviting personality made him the life of every party he attended. With an infectious sense of humor, he could effortlessly lighten up any room and bring smiles to the faces of those around him. His ability to make anyone laugh was matched only by his genuine care for others.

One of Clark's greatest passions in life was mentoring children. Whether it was teaching them how to cook or offering guidance during outdoor adventures, he always found joy in sharing his wisdom and experiences. Countless young lives were positively impacted by his presence and unwavering support.

In addition to his community involvement, Clark proudly served as a member of the United States Army National Guard. His commitment to serving his country reflected his strong sense of duty and honor.

Clark worked for over 30 years in the oil industry in the gulf and overseas.  He started at the bottom and over the years he worked his way up to maintenance/mechanical supervisor throughout the world. 

Outside of his professional pursuits and military service, Clark found solace in various hobbies and interests. He loved spending time in nature, embarking on hunting trips surrounded by serene landscapes. Fishing also brought him immense joy as he relished the peacefulness it offered. Horseback riding was another cherished pastime that allowed him to connect with both animals and nature itself. However, above all else, Clark cherished the moments spent with his family. Their love and bond were truly unbreakable.

With the passing of Clark Joseph Robin, we mourn the loss of an exceptional individual whose impact cannot be measured solely by words but rather through the countless lives he touched along his journey. His legacy will endure as a testament to his kind spirit and unwavering dedication.
