Dale William Clarke

June 14, 1950 — July 21, 2023

Dale William Clarke, age 73, originally of Kent, passed away Friday, July 21, 2023, in Cincinnati.

Dale was preceded in passing by his beloved wife and partner of 33 years, Natalie (Jakab) Clarke, in 2015, and his parents, Byron and Harriet (Null) Clarke. He is survived by his cherished son Brandon Clarke and daughter-in-law Jalynn Barnett, of Clermont County.

Born in East Cleveland on June 14, 1950, Dale grew up in Kent and was a proud member of the Kent Roosevelt High School class of 1968. After marriage, he and the family lived in Charlestown Township and Newton Falls; after Natalie's passing, he lived in Ravenna.

Dale worked as the janitor for Kent Mold & Manufacturing Co. for over 25 years. Then in 1998 he started All Clear Cleaning Service, where he and Natalie cleaned numerous local businesses and churches, including First Christian Church of Ravenna, the Ravenna First Church of God, and Ravenna Church of the Nazarene.

A lifelong sports fan, Dale spent many happy (if frustrating) days at Cleveland Municipal Stadium cheering on the Browns and Indians. He was thrilled when son Brandon enrolled at The Ohio State University, and together the family attended many Buckeye football games over the years since.

A funeral service will be held 10:00 A.M., FRIDAY, July 28, 2023 at Bissler and Sons Funeral Home, 628 W. Main St., Kent, with burial following at Charlestown Twp. Cemetery.

The family would like to extend its appreciation to the staff of Woodlands Health and Rehabilitation Center, which provided thoughtful care and compassion over the last six months.

Services in care of Bissler and Sons Funeral Home and Crematory.
