Clarke was born March 16, 1955 in White Plains, New York, to Clarke Hodson and Bette Buckner Hodson.  Clarke moved to Stillwater following the death of his   father in 1963.  Clarke     graduated from Stillwater High School in 1973.

Clarke is preceded in death by his father, mother, and grandparents.  He is survived by his wife Debi, his      sister Heather Hodson, and his brother Hunter Hodson.  Memorials may be made to St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, 516 W. 3rd Ave, Stillwater, OK 74074.
