Jerry Ross Clark, age 84, of Ripley, passed away peacefully in Sarnia on October 8, 2026.

Born in Timmins in 1942, Jerry was the son of John Service Clark and Jessie Tina Dunbrack. He proudly served his country in the Royal Canadian Navy, an experience that allowed him to travel extensively and see many parts of the world.

Jerry later attended college in Sault Ste. Marie, where he met the love of his life, Ieleene. Together they built a life and raised their family, first in Deep River and later in Ripley, relocating with his family as his career developed at the power plant.

Jerry was predeceased by his siblings, Thomas, Norman, Robert, and Catherine.

He will be lovingly remembered by his devoted wife, Ieleene (née McGuire); his brother (Billy); his children, Candace (David), Melissa (Dale), Chris (Julie), and Brett; and his cherished grandchildren (Geoff, Wes, Andy, Ashley, Jake, Sam, and Grace). He is also survived by many brothers- and sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends.

Jerry will be remembered for his dedication to family, his service to his country, and the many lives he touched throughout his years.

In accordance with his wishes, there will be no formal service.
