In Memory of Clark Atchison

Ellis “Clark” Atchison , 21, son, brother and friend to all, went to be with the Lord on June 19, 2018 in Sikeston, Missouri.

Visitation will be on Saturday, June 23 beginning at 10:00 a.m. at Life Church, 951 South Kingshighway, Sikeston, Missouri with funeral services to follow at 1:00 pm.

Interment will be at Forest Hills Memorial Gardens in Morley, Missouri.

Clark was born in Sikeston, Missouri on February 3, 1997 to his loving parents, Charles and Dana Atchison.

He is survived by his sister and brother-in-law Nichole and Allen Blanton along with their children Kennedy and Sam of Cary, North Carolina; his brother and sister-in-law E.C. and Lisa Atchison of Houston, Texas; and sister and brother-in-law Laura and Jeb Thompson along with their children Louis and Jeb Jr. of San Diego, California. He is also survived by a long list of beloved aunts, uncles, grandmother, and cousins.

Clark graduated from Sikeston High School in 2015 with honors (3.5 GPA with Gold Service Cord), played on the varsity soccer and golf teams, and, following graduation, enrolled at the University of Missouri in Columbia where he was a member of the FarmHouse International Fraternity. He enjoyed ski trips, concerts, playing guitar, spending time with family and friends, and playing with his dog Buck.

As a loving classmate said, “We lost one of the most kindhearted people in our class! He was always the most fun and uplifting person in the room with the biggest smile on his face and the most contagious laugh that the whole room could hear!” He was an extremely loving person and loved by all. To say Clark will be missed is an understatement. His heart, his laughter, his warmth will live on in everyone who knew and loved him. “But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love wherewith He loved us, even when we were dead in sins, has quickened us together with Christ (by grace you are saved), and has raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.” —Ephesians 2:4-6, 21st Century King James Version “The Spirit of God, Who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, He will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.” —Romans 8:11, New Living Translation.

The Angels quickly assembled to begin preparation for her homecoming. God drew her breath and Momma peacefully closed her eyes, surrendering unto our Lord, Jesus Christ. The trumpets sounded, the gates opened and Momma fell into Jesus’ arms and was welcomed to her final home.

Our Mother had lived most of her life in Southeast Missouri. On November 13, 1967 she was blessed in holy matrimony to Lee Arthur "Pops" Hester, Sr. in Baker, Missouri.
