The website has received word that Dan Matthews has passed away.
Dan Matthews
Dan was a friend to many at Clark Lake. During his years here, he could often be seen on his backyard swing on Lakeview West. As passerby’s approached, they would stop and a conversation would begin about all things Clark Lake and beyond. Dan became well-known and the title of unofficial mayor of Clark Lake was bestowed upon him.
The swing was a favorite place. He would sometimes be joined by his wife, Julienne, who passed away in 2017.
Dan and Julienne moved to Marshall four years ago . Dan is survived by daughters Linda, Diane and Tammy.
I always enjoyed strolling down Lakeview Dr. and sitting on the swing talking with Dan. It was always very comforting to walk or drive down the lane and seeing Dan swinging there making sure all was well with Clark Lake.
