Roy Clark
A celebration of life has been set for Roy Clark, who passed away last week from complications due to pneumonia. The memorial celebration will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 21 at 11 a.m. CT at Rhema Bible Church at 1025 W Kenosha Street in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. The celebration of life memorial will be open to the public, and will be streamed at rhema.org as well as on Rhema Bible Church’s Facebook Page.
A private, invitation-only visitation for family, friends and fellow performers will take place Tuesday evening. Please call 1-833-537-2911 x800 for time and location. In lieu of flowers, the family is asking that all contributions be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis. For several years, Clark headlined a golf tournament for St. Jude’s, where a floor was named in his honor.
“I see a lot of celebrities come to St. Jude, and you know what’s in a person’s heart by how they entertain the children,” said hospital CEO David McKee. “He was truly touched by the kids, not the cameras.”
