Obituary:

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved father, Tubal Augustus Clarke, who peacefully passed away on April 5, at the age of 86.

Tubal was born on October 9, 1938, in Salt Spring, St. James, Jamaica, W.I., to Sylvester Clarke and Eulalie Anderson. Tubal was a minibus owner-operator in Jamaica, and he earned the respect of commuters and fellow minibus  operators alike, for his scrupulous honesty. Tubal was also a man of faith. He played an active part in his beloved Seventh-Day Adventist Church, where he held various offices, engaged in missionary work, and enthusiastically deployed his minibuses in service of the church. Tubal emigrated to the United States in 1986 and resided in the New York metropolitan area until his retirement to Central Florida in 2008.

Tubal is survived by his loving wife, Mona; his siblings Anita Clarke (Thompson), Lenford Clarke, and Renville McLeod; his children, Leighton Clarke, Sheryl Clarke, Debbie-Ann Clarke (Johnson), Paul Clarke, Dawn Clarke (Doccuvi), Darnelle Felix and Victor Felix; and his eleven grandchildren.

A celebration of Tubal’s life will be held at the Guilgal French Seventh-Day Adventist Church, 5668 N. Pine Hills Rd., Orlando, Florida, 32810, on Friday, April 25, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., followed by his interment at the Highland Memory Gardens, 3329 E. Semoran Blvd., Apopka, Florida, 32703, at 1:00 p.m.

Tubal was our hero, role model and friend. An online commemoration of Tubal and his remarkable legacy is at www.tubalclarke.com. We will never forget him.
