Donald Dale Clark II

Donald Dale Clark II, of Columbia, Missouri, was called home to The Lord on July 24, 2025.

He was born on January 6, 1963 in McPherson, Kansas to Donald Dale Clark, Sr. and Dorothy Ann (Birkes) Clark.

He was baptized in the Lutheran faith as an infant and was later confirmed at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Moundridge, Kansas.  He attended Moundridge Schools where he played football and excelled in track.  He enjoyed fishing and was a lifelong fan of the Dallas Cowboy’s.

After the younger brother of a high school buddy started calling him “Bubba”, the nickname stuck and everyone that knew him affectionately called him “Bubba”.

He is survived by his son, Bryan (Erin) Clark, grandchildren Kyson, Faith, and Mason, all of Winfield, Kansas; sisters Dianne (Paul) Gibson of Moundridge, KS, and Denise (Robbie) Gibson, of Fayette, Missouri; uncle Richard (Mae) Birkes, of McPherson, KS; nieces Jessica (Cory) Basinger of Wilton, MO, Danielle Kemp of Hartsburg, MO, Mandey Anderson of Columbia, MO, Krystine (Jeremy) Woolery of Boonville, MO; nephews Brent (Jen) Clark of Ashland, MO and Brett Clark of Hallsville, MO; as well as numerous great-nieces, great-nephews, and cousins.

He was preceded in death by his parents, sisters Debbie Clark and Delaine Carpenter, several uncles, aunts, and cousins.

Memorials can be made in his name to Hospice Compassus Columbia, Mo.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
