Bruce E. Clark, 65, of Ocean Pines, Maryland peacefully passed away on Wednesday, December 4, 2024, at the Stansell House in Ocean Pines. Bruce was born on March 25, 1959, in Easton, Maryland to his parents Isabella and John Clark. For 29 wonderful years, Bruce was a beloved participant at the Worcester County Developmental Center, where he brought smiles to those around him. Before that, he was part of the Holly Center program. His genuine love for life was evident in the little things, whether it was a scenic car ride, dancing on the dance floor, or an afternoon spent watching his favorite shows. He was always happiest when surrounded by his favorite people. Bruce also loved spending time around horses, and often snuggled up with a blanket covered in images of them. His passion for food was equally notable, often delighting in a delicious meal. He is survived by his brother, Philip Clark (Nadine); sister, Karen Monteith (Marshall); four nieces and one nephew; and his longtime guardian, Cheryl Moore. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a great nephew. Services for Bruce will be held on Friday, December 6, 2024 at 11am at the Worcester County Developmental Center in Newark, Maryland. Interment will be held privately. Arrangements are in the care of Short Funeral Home in Delmar. Online condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.shortfh.com.
