Clark Nolan Wimer, 88, of Buford, Georgia, passed away peacefully on May 16, 2026.
He was born in Franklin to the late Thomas and Golda Wimer.
Mr. Wimer graduated from Franklin High School and proudly served his country in the United States Air Force after completing two years at West Virginia University.
His talents as an electronic technician flourished during his military service and became the foundation of a successful 40-year career with Tektronix and LXE, where he eventually managed regional service divisions. Throughout those years, he and his wife, Jerrie, built a life together in Colorado, Washington, and Virginia before settling in Tucker, Georgia, to raise their family. Later, they retired to Buford, Georgia, where they spent another 25 cherished years together.
A gifted woodworker and devoted outdoorsman, he loved working in his yard and took pride in handling his own car and home repairs and improvements. His happiest moments were spent in the mountains, enjoying his true passions: hunting and fishing.
He was a loving husband and father, a loyal friend, and a devoted papa to his grandchildren. He treasured lifelong friendships and created countless memories traveling with friends after retirement. He was also known for his unmatched knowledge of western books and movies.
In his final chapter, he became a favorite among neighbors and caregivers alike, remembered for his kindness, selflessness, steady humor, and ability to brighten the room with a joke or warm smile. He leaves behind a legacy of hard work, devotion to family, quiet strength, and love that will continue to live on through all who knew him.
He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered always.
He is now reunited with his beloved wife, Jerrie, with whom he shared 62 wonderful years of marriage.
Surviving are children, Dawn Wimer and Clark Wimer, Jr.; grandchildren, Taylor Wolters and Josh Hafif; Clark’s wife, Mary; and a brother, Thomas Wimer.
A celebration of life service will be held June 20 at Flanigan Funeral Home in Buford, Georgia.
