William Frank Clarke, Jr.

William Frank Clarke Jr., 75, of Thompsons Station, Tn, passed away on October 29, 2026.

William was a loving husband, brother, father, and grandfather whose life was centered around the people he loved most. He was a devoted family man who took great pride in supporting his children and being a grandfather to his three beloved granddaughters, Graicyn, Hayes, and Avery. His family meant everything to him, and he would do anything for the people he loved.

William retired from General Motors after years of hard work. Outside of work, he enjoyed cheering on his beloved Philadelphia sports teams and collecting baseball cards, two of his favorite pastimes. He was a proud grandfather who cherished his time with his family and found joy in supporting them in all that they did.

Known for his goofy sense of humor, caring heart, and stubborn nature, William had a personality that was uniquely his own. He could make people laugh, stand firm in what he believed, and show his love through the things he did for others. Above all, he was proud of his family and the relationships he built throughout his life. He leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and devotion that will continue through the family he cherished.

William is survived by his beloved wife, Michelle; his sons, Adam (Kelly) and Billy; his sister, Suzie (Glenn); and his granddaughters, Graicyn, Hayes, and Avery.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Mary and Bill; his brothers, Steve and Bobby; and his daughters, Kim and Kelly.

William will be deeply missed by his family and all who knew and loved him. Though his absence leaves an immeasurable void, the memories he created, the laughter he shared, and the love he gave will live on in the hearts of those he leaves behind.

He will forever be remembered as a devoted family man, a proud grandfather, and a one-of-a-kind person who loved his family fiercely.

The family asks in lieu of flowers donations be made to Saint Judes Children Hospital.
