Billy Claude Clark, Jr., age 50, of Roseboro, North Carolina, formerly of Churchton, Maryland died May 17, 2011 at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, NC after a ten year battle with brain cancer.
Billy was born January 3, 1961 in Lenoir City, TN. He was the son of Patsy and Willard Drennan and the late Billy Clark, Sr. He graduated from Southern High School in Harwood, MD in 1979, joined the U.S. Air Force in 1981, and proudly served his country for twenty years, being honorably discharged in 2001 as a Tech Sergeant at Andrews Air Force Base in Camp Springs, MD. While in the Air Force Billy worked in aircraft electrical and environmental systems and served with the Presidential Airlift Command which is responsible for maintaining Air Force One. His military awards include the Air Force Achievement, Air Force Commendation, National Defense Service and Good Conduct Medals, the Air Force Longevity Service, Outstanding Unit and Joint Meritorious Unit Awards, the Air Force Training Ribbon, Air Force Overseas Long Tour Ribbon, and the Non-Commissioned Officer Professional Education Training Ribbon.
Billy was arguably the Dallas Cowboy’s number one fan, and kept the music of AC-DC, KISS and Cheap Trick blaring loudly. He was a member of the Stallings-Williams American Legion Post 206 in Chesapeake Beach, MD.
Billy was a proud father who loved spending time with his family. He is survived by his daughter Sasha Maelynn Clark of Friendship, MD; his parents Patsy and Willard Drennan of Roseboro, NC; siblings Patresa Holt of Friendship, Mark Clark of Lusby, MD, Carrisa Spoon of Lenoir City, TN, Darrell Drennan of Newbury Park, CA, Angelic Ingram of Dandridge, TN and David Drennan of Shady Side, MD. He is also survived by 11 nieces and nephews.
Interment with U.S. Air Force Honors will be held at 1:00 PM on Thursday May 26, 2011 at Maryland Veterans Cemetery, Cheltenham, MD.
