Garcia went on to say he and Clark reconnected over the past couple of years, sharing, “I always looked forward to our monthly phone calls where we would catch up and make each other laugh.”

“Recently, he was so full of joy and encouragement when he found out I was trying stand-up comedy for the first time,” he continued. “He enjoyed talking about the art of stand-up, being on the road, and would also offer some great advice. Just a few weeks ago we were laughing hysterically on the phone, trading jokes and telling stories.”

O’Malley paid tribute on Thursday, describing Clark as a “hilarious” and “unique” comedian. “One of those comics who is laughing along with you at the absurdity of his stories and observations,” he wrote. “I was a fan before I was a friend. We spoke on the phone three weeks ago. He had us laughing loudly once again.”
