Monty was born to Lewis and Shirley Clark, on February 23, 1956 in Bozeman, Montana.

His early childhood was spent in the Madison Valley of Montana, where he loved exploring the great outdoors with his siblings. Monty left home at a young age to start working, he was always a hard worker.

In the early '80s, Monty relocated to Gillette, Wyoming, marking the beginning of his distinguished career as a carpenter and his journey as family man. Monty's reputation as an expert framer then brought his family to Aladdin, Wyoming, where Monty worked in Spearfish and Rapid City. One of Monty's many talents included his art. He made unique leatherwork, woodwork and even custom-made spurs, bits and jewelry.

Monty's love for the great outdoors was unwavering, and he felt most at home in the picturesque Aladdin area. He reveled in a range of outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, hunting, trapping, camping and anything else that allowed him to embrace nature, particularly when the sun was shining bright.

Monty was a tough cowboy with a kind and gentle soul. He made friends with everyone and absolutely adored his grandchildren. Monty made a lasting impression on many throughout his life and he will be truly missed.
