Alex clark Memorial
John and Roberta Clark’s son, Alex, was killed in an automobile accident just a few weeks before his graduation from McKinney High School in May 2000. Alex had always been an avid disc golfer so it was a natural for the Clarks to choose the city’s disc golf course for Alex’s memorial service. In line with that, memorial donations were used to enhance the course and build a memorial statue. The city then chose to rename the course the Alex Clark Memorial Disc Golf Course. Nestled in trees, Alex’s memorial course is a favorite place for disc golfers to enjoy year round.
the clarks became award of another way to honor their son’s memory through the McKinney Education Foundation – a permanently endowed memorial scholarship in Alex’s name.
