It’s not often that I don’t have the words, but this is one of those times. Today I received a message from Mrs Seclark that she asked me to share with all of you. It’s not an easy message to even type.
Sec passed away this morning after a battle with cancer and ALS.
We communicated semi regularly and it was always a pleasure. Scott was one of the best humans, who lived to love his family and friends. Never once did he complain about his challenges, he was always so positive…and usually more concerned with what was going on with me. I can’t do him justice in this message, but in some of our last texts, when I mentioned his illness, he said the following quote that defines the man for me:
“I haven’t tasted food in 3 months. But I Am Blessed! I have family and friends who love me and stay with me. I have elders and a pastor who visit me. My grandchildren are my pride and joy and they come and see me. That’s all I need in life”
He was a great, great guy and I’ll miss him on a personal level. A random poster on a message board became someone I consider one of my best pals in life. I hope I can become as good of a man as I considered him to be.
It is my hope that CP can honor him, and I will find an appropriate cause or fund that his family supports and ask those who considered him a friend, Like I did, to honor him that way.
-Sec forever.

The family has made arrangements and their wish is for any donations to be made to the ALS society to help fund research for a cure. I’m unsure if they want the obituary details posted here so I will not, but those that know him can find it.
If you’re so inclined, you can donate

If you choose to donate you can do so in honor of Scott Clark. I will include the tag “-Sec forever” as well and encourage anyone who wishes to do the same. I think another fitting tribute, because he was such a devoted Chiefs fan, include the dollar amount of your favorite players number. That seems appropriate to me.
-Sec forever

He was a great guy, I so enjoyed his posts. He could put a person in their place and not cause a lot of butthurt, a rare commodity on here.
The many stories he shared with us, from work to marathons to family, we were truly blessed by his presence. My favorite posts from Sec were Uncle Ernie stories, he was a great storyteller.
His kindness and compassion will be missed in addition to his wit. I too, wish I could have met him.
RIP Sec.
