Kenny Clark

May 12, 1950 - March 18, 2026

Kenny Clark, 75, of Beaumont, died Wednesday, March 18, 2026. He was born on May 12, 1950, in Port Arthur to Gladys Olivia Schnell and Wilmer Joseph Clark.

Kenny worked for Jefferson County in the maintenance department and loved his time spent keeping the courthouse up and running. During this time at the courthouse, he met Deb and knew in an instant that she was the one. Together they created beautiful memories during their twenty-six-year relationship. Kenny loved his family and time spent at the lake camp with his parents and especially his cousins. He was happiest when everyone was together enjoying life with a “smile on their face and a song in their heart”.

Later in life, Kenny’s passion grew for Sunday Nascar racing and frequent visits to many of his favorite casinos along with a good drink of Crown, Seven Up with a lemon slice.

Survivors include his wife, Deb Clark; children, Allison Tucker and her husband, Wes, of Nederland, and Garrett Syphrett and his wife, Amanda, of Beaumont; grandchildren, Sawyer Mitcham, Eli Tucker, Carter Syphrett, and Jude Syphrett; sister, Carol Oliver and her husband, Chris; cousins, Jan Stroder, Kim Ratcliff, and Connie Roy; and numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family and friends.

Kenny is preceded in death by his parents.

    I am sorry to hear that Kenny has passed away. He was a great guy and wonderful friend. Every hurricane season he would call to make sure I was “hurricane ready”. Flashlights, batteries, etc. back when he worked at the courthouse. He always had a smile and willing to help anyone. Deb i know you will miss him. He loved you so much and you were a great wife and caretaker. My prayers are with you.
