Chase Clark

Groton — Chase A. Clark, 32, passed away on Thursday, April 7, 2016, surrounded by his loving family and friends.

Born in Norwich, he was a Noank resident and owner of Clark Tree Experts. He held a Connecticut arborist license and a bachelor of science degree in construction management. If you knew Chase, and were lucky enough to see him at work, you would see that caring for trees was his art and passion. As an experienced climber, Chase was able to maneuver into places that bucket trucks could not. Beautiful inside and out, Chase was truly devoted to his profession. He will be deeply missed.

Several years ago Chase made a decision to follow Jesus as Lord and Savior. Although he struggled at times (like all of us) his heart was fully devoted to following the ways of the Lord. Chase was an angel, taken away from us way too soon.

He is survived by his loving parents, Steven Clark of Norwich and Jean (Balawender) Clark of Noank; paternal grandmother, Barbara W. Clark of Colchester; uncle, Thomas E. Clark and wife, Beth, of Florida; two aunts, Pamela G. Maresca and husband, Dan, of Michigan and Gail Delaney of Norwich; along with several cousins.

He was predeceased by his brother, Christopher T. Clark.

His family will receive friends from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday, April 15, at the Mystic Funeral Home, Route 1, Mystic. A service will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday at the Groton Bible Chapel, 66 Tollgate Road, Groton. His burial will be held at 9:30 a.m. prior to the service at Elm Grove Cemetery in Mystic.

Donations in lieu of flowers may be made to Celebrate Recovery Ministry c/o Groton Bible Chapel.
