He was born in the Kelowna District Hospital, and lived until the age of three in Peachland,B.C. In 1984 the family moved to Crofton, B.C., then again in 1991 to Ladysmith, B.C. Clarke attended Crofton elementary, where he loved playing basketball. Between the ages of 8 to 10, he did fashion modelling for Barbara Coultish modeling agency. He attended Ladysmith Secondary, where he did well in track and field, he was also an enthusiastic drummer in the high school concert band. Clarke graduated high school in 2000, the same year he was nominated for the "Courage to come back" award.

After working as an auto mechanic for 14 years, he was involved in a devastating motor vehicle accident, leaving him with a debilitating back injury, and was unable to continue working. Clarke was intelligent, caring, generous, and well liked by all who knew him. He enjoyed photography, writing poetry, working on projects in his moms garage, especially building bicycles, and was very talented at creating and making one of a kind objects. One of Clarke's biggest wishes was to get married and become a father, sadly this was never achieved. Clarke added so much brightness to so many lives and will be sadly missed. Special thanks to Dr.Benjamin How and to Laurie, a new friend and a helpful one, with a heart of gold! A small private family burial service to take place in January.
