Chester was born May 28, 1950, to Albert Thomas Clark and Lorene Billie Jean (Brown) Clark, in Wynnewood, Oklahoma. Chester liked Running the creeks, skipping school, and having fun as a child. He even put money in a Prince Albert can, hid it in the creek and forgot where he had hidden it. He was a fun and energetic young boy who worked hard and even carried that into his adulthood. He was a high school graduate of Elmore City High School. He believed in hard work and taking care of yourself. He never met a stranger and would give the shirt off his back if someone needed it.
