Daniel Christopher Clark, "Danny", was born on September 16, 1985, in Westerville, Ohio, to Daniel Steven and Jennifer Lynn Underwood Clark, "Jenny". He graduated from New Albany High School in New Albany, Ohio. In his grade school to middle school years, Danny was involved in wrestling, even being on the high school varsity team, at a time when he was only in the eighth grade. He was also on a traveling football team, where, even though he was small build, he wanted to be the best and would go up against all of the corn fed Midwestern boys who came to fear his skills. In New Albany, Ohio, Danny worked in the family sheetmetal business, Do-All Sheetmetal, where he programmed and ran the 5000 watt laser cutting machine. Because of his skill in sheetmetal work, his urn is constructed out of stainless steel, fabricated at the family business, now called Custom Metal Products, and is designed in keeping with Danny's design preferences. He began his career and construction with his father and brothers, Joshua and Samuel in Ohio when they built their own family home. After moving to Colorado, Mr. Clark continued to hone his construction skills with his father in their jointly owned D & D Construction business. He became particularly skilled in tile laying, finish carpentry and welding. For fun, Danny enjoy the camping and fishing and going to the zoo or Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza with the light of his life, his daughter, Adena. Surprisingly too many, Danny was also an excellent chef, going to great lengths to make food that was just prepared to his perfection, like the eggs Benedict he made for his dad about a month before his death.

Mr. Clark was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He was baptized by his father.

He is survived by his parents, brothers Joshua James Clark and his wife, Lyndsey, of Aurora, Colorado, and Samuel Quinton Clark, of Colorado Springs, Colorado, his daughter Adena Rae, of Colorado Springs, Colorado, his grandparents Samuel and Carolyn Clark of New Albany, Ohio, Anne Evans of New Albany, Ohio, Robert and Jean Underwood, of Little Rock, Arkansas, Johnna Mahlke of Wooster, Ohio, and great grandmother, Mary Doty of New Albany, Ohio, and friends. He was preceded in death by his step-grandfather, George Evans of New Albany, Ohio.
