Larry Allen Clarke

Larry Allen Clarke, 65, husband of Renita Brewer Clarke, passed away on Tuesday, July 8, 2025. He was born in Charleston, South Carolina, on October 17, 1959 to the late Luvard “Lu” Albert and Sarah Isabelle Henderson Clarke. Larry retired from the Commonwealth of Kentucky. He also served faithfully as a deacon, an elder and an ordained minister in various congregations around Central Kentucky. He was an alumni of Eastern Kentucky University, Kentucky State University and Louisville Bible College.  

In addition to his cherished wife of 39 years, he is lovingly remembered by his daughters, Sarah Jones (David) and Elizabeth Clarke; his brothers, Lynn Clarke (Mandy) and Lee Clarke (Joy); his precious grandchildren, Isabelle, Dalton, Ethan, and Acie Jones; and a number of dear family members and close friends who will forever hold him in their hearts.

Larry found deep joy and purpose in studying the Bible and sharing its teachings with others. Whether leading a class at church or speaking around a campfire under the stars, he poured his heart into helping others understand God's word. Teaching wasn't just something he did — it reflected his faith, his compassion, and his desire to guide others on their spiritual journey. His wisdom and sincere love for scripture left a lasting impact on all who had the opportunity to witness his faith.
