Glen D. Clarke

Glen D. Clarke, age 68, of Port St. Lucie, passed away March 2, 2026 after a lengthy illness, surrounded by his loving family.

Born on June 1, 1957, in Mannington Township, New Jersey, Glen was the son of Shirley and George W. Clarke Jr. A lifelong resident of Pennsville, he graduated from Pennsville Memorial High School in 1975. Shortly after graduation, Glen proudly enlisted in the United States Navy, serving as a submariner aboard the USS Von Steuben (SSBN-632). He achieved the rank of Seaman (E-3) Engineer Apprentice and was awarded the National Defense Service Medal in recognition of his service to his country.

After completing his military service, Glen returned home and began a career with DuPont, working as a skilled carpenter for ten years. His strong work ethic and craftsmanship eventually led him to establish his own business, Tri-County Building, which he successfully operated until his retirement in 2015.

Glen was deeply committed to his fellow veterans and his community. He was an active member of American Legion Post 358, where he proudly served as Commander. In 2016, he joined Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 8058, serving in numerous leadership roles including 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Year Trustee and Junior Vice Commander. For his dedication and hands-on work providing building repairs and upgrades at Westside Veterans Association, Glen was honored with the VFW Distinguished Service Citation and Pen.

Glen found joy in life’s simple pleasures — his Jeep, relaxing by his pool, woodworking, boating, fishing, and especially playing shuffleboard. In recent years, he spent much of his time at VFW Post 8058 in Ft. Pierce, where he was a familiar face and frequent top finisher in shuffleboard competitions. He generously shared his love of fishing by organizing a deep-sea charter trip for fellow members. Anyone who fished alongside Glen — whether from shore or from his boat — knew the depth of his passion for the water.

Whatever Glen pursued, he did so with determination and pride. Whether it was fishing, shuffleboard, or craftsmanship, he strived to be the best. He will be remembered for his unwavering spirit, his love of animals, his steadfast loyalty to friends and family, and his willingness to help anyone in need.

Glen was predeceased by his father, George W. Clarke Jr., and his brother, George W. Clarke III (“Georgie”).

He is survived by his mother, Shirley G. Clarke of Yulee, Florida; his sons, Glen D. Clarke Jr. and his wife Ashley of Wilmington, Delaware, along with their son Wyatt; and Jeffery M. Clarke and his wife Christina of Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, along with their children Maya, Mason, and Jackson. He is also survived by his sister, Deborah G. Sauer and her husband Craig of Yulee, Florida; his brother, Steven R. Clarke and his wife Stacie of Warwick, Maryland; many nieces, nephews, cousins, and wonderful neighbors; and the love of his life and devoted partner, Alice Postlewait.

Glen’s legacy of service, strength, and love will live on in all who knew him.

Visitation will be held on Sunday, March 15, 2026 from 1:00-2:00 PM with a service to follow at 2:00 PM at Haisley Funeral Home, Fort Pierce. Burial will take place at Cape Canaveral National Cemetery, Mims, Florida.
