In 1983, Patricia Clarke welcomed her son, Kevin Robert Clark, who made history as one of the largest babies ever born at Community Memorial Hospital weighing over 16 pounds. At the time, he was believed to be the biggest newborn in New Jersey. Despite his remarkable size, Kevin was healthy and quickly captured public attention, even making appearances on shows like Saturday Night Live and Good Morning America.
As Kevin grew, so did the headlines. By age 12, he had already reached 5’7″, and by junior high he stood at 6’5″. He embraced the curiosity surrounding his height with humor, often saying, “I like to joke that I’m 5-foot-21. When people ask if I play basketball, I ask them if they play miniature golf.”
Now 40 years old and standing 6’9″, Kevin continues to take the attention in stride. “There isn’t a day that goes by when someone doesn’t ask me how tall I am,” he shared. A former soldier, Kevin now enjoys life with his 6-foot-tall wife and their Great Dane.
Although growing up in the spotlight brought its challenges, Kevin has met them with grace and good humor. Today, he is thriving and living life fully. We wish him continued happiness and success in the years ahead.
