After so much pain and loss , the overwhelming joy that’s been brought on this year is much welcomed! What an honor to be an an uncle again and have myself and Logan’s names used is beyond words. Logan would be so proud and that means the world to us to carry his legacy on thank you.
Welcome to the world Leo and Dakota! (Also coolest names ever ! )
Oh and sorry Isabel Clark maybe one day we’ll see what the elusive female Clarks are like but until then you’re on your own 😂

Well we made it through year #2. I had hoped it would be easier but if I learned anything it’s grief is not linear and picks it’s own path. We celebrated the all too short life of Logan yesterday. It was as beautiful as it was sad. Having his cousins, family and some best friends along with Breezy’s pizza and cookie cake his all time favorites. I post these not for attention but to hopefully show that you can survive the unthinkable losses in life and still survive and still stay clean through tragedy , To show that these happenings cannot be closeted they are real and happing at an alarming rate, to be vulnerable enough to welcome anyone who maybe needing help and need resources to approach me and know that there is ALWAYS a way out and you’re never alone and to make sure my boy (and brother) are NEVER forgotten. The song is what was played as he exited this world on the OR table, following the most powerful thing I’ve ever experienced in my life, The Honor Walk. While I will never be able to get those images out of my head from that 24 hour tragedy, that walk will forever be remembered and celebrated by us. He saved lives , several. We have yet to contact the recipients of his vital organs or anyone for that matter but we will. I think it will be healing. Thank you for all the support on this journey you have no idea how comforting it can be. Love you all. #LLL #donatelife #fuckguns #suicideawarness by @skunkape138

It was around 5 o’clock today exactly 2 years ago that I received what would end up being the worst phone call of my life. I knew when I got to the hospital and saw him on the table that I would never talk to him again. A gunshot to the head, left only breathing no other signs. I went home and cried so hard the entire night that my head hurt for days and weeks ,knowing that tomorrow we were gonna have to make the hardest decision of our lives, and it was indeed the hardest thing I’ve ever done and hopefully we’ll ever do in my life. Our first child , or little Loggy Bear, 20 years old was now an organ donor and gone forever. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy and after two years, I still don’t know how somebody is expected to survive this. I do understand that I was changed forever that day and I would never return to the person I was, I need to learn to become the new , changed person. See when something like this happens you may understand or imagine how painful it is losing a child and especially in this way but it’s also what’s after. I’ve questioned every single thing in life from how i raised him to how can there be God and everything in between, physically and emotionally drained, can’t think the way I used to and a whole host of other things that follow watching your son bleed out on a table and take his last breath. I will never ever ever get over this but I have had moments of joy and peace thankfully. ~The only way out is through~This post is about me and honestly I ask myself why it sometimes feels better to do this but recovery has taught me pain shared is pain lessened and i need less pain. Tomorrow we celebrate Logan Andrew Clarks all too short life and remember what an amazing young man he was and carry it forward. ❤️‍🩹❤️ #LLL by @skunkape138

The Dirty Onion 2025…it was dirty 11K feet in 50 miles. Awesomely tuff day on the bike. Started off with complete carnage as one of the first descents was a sheet of ice. Dudes put together a kick ass event. 1 of 2 stupid enough to do this Single Speed. SSuffering with friends is the best. #dirtyonion #singlespeed taken in North Side, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania by @skunkape138

My legs hurt. Sunday was my first time at the Last Trail Standing event and also my longest trail run ever. This race was not only run incredibly well but had a deeper meaning as race day came closer. @chad.shipley is a really special dude I believe making this event not only about testing yourself but honoring the ones we’ve lost and the fighters in this world. In particular the coat and lantern on the chair representing his father’s legacy 🌤 Dad’s Chair

“You’ll see an empty chair along the course — a tribute to loved ones we’ve lost and the strength they still give us.

When you pass it, take a moment.
Smile, breathe, remember… and take one more step “
🌈 Rilyn’s Way – A Symbol of Courage
Placed within a ½ mile of all finish lines.

A tribute to Rilyn — a little girl who has shown unimaginable bravery and strength.

When you see the sign, give it a nod.
Let it remind you of the strength YOU have within”

Losing Logan and Andy is without a doubt the most painful thing I’ve ever even imagined I could endure so in those regards this was easy.
Needless to say I dug deep , fighting cramps from mile 1 till 32 of varying degrees of severity and almost taking me out multiple times. No idea how I finished but I’m pretty sure Chads tone on the event helped. Somehow through all that I managed 12th overall and 1st Age group. Go figure. Really appreciate the help from @highlandtraining to get me on track!

Pretty Satisfying little Project. 1997 MiM Jazz Bass Converted Fretless. Researched a lot of different finishes but really glad I went with just Gun Oil. Plays like absolute butter. Helped keep my mind occupied during end of winter. #fender #fretless #bass by @skunkape138

Another Absolutely epic trip making memories with a whole lotta Clarks! Day 3 Andy smiled on us as it Puked powder all day , hit all the best stuff including the brutal trek at 12,000’ for over a mile to the Cirque. Between starting all this when I was 5 years old in the north east and heading west every winter , it makes getting excited to pay what it costs to ski locally unless it’s perfect. Maybe I’m just getting old. .. injuries, laughs and great memories were had. I just love these peeps. Till the next one 🤟❤️❤️‍🩹 taken in Colorado, USA by @skunkape138

It’s been 1 year to the day since the most painful, surreal, traumatizing day of my life. I honestly don’t know how I make it through each day often. I wake up many mornings and check his room convinced that it had to be a nightmare. I will NEVER ever allow you to be forgotten my man
I truly don’t know how we made it through this year , most days it take’s all the strength in us to just get up and face the world …without you. The deep dark hole that remains where you once lived is sometimes lessened by the joys that remain in our lives and there are lots still. Nobody should ever have to endure this but here we are. I hear we’ll be stronger better people for it ….I’m waiting. We are surrounded by the most incredibly loving caring people you could ever dream of having and I’m grateful for that. The Song: Logan introduced me to Juice WRLD and it blew my mind in how he was able to express the same struggles so many had in such a melodic way. We bonded in it. Now in retrospect, their struggles were almost identical. Logan spent 20 years in this space, the fact that he no longer suffers with his own crippling condition is one of the only things that gives me any solace. Love you buddy. Rest easy
